FIRST STEPS
POSITIONING
Keep appliance area free and clear of any combustibles. Position the Keating Gas Fryer 6 inches
(152mm) from any combustible material. A minimum of
24 inches (610mm) should be provided at the front of
the Keating Gas Fryer for servicing and proper operation. Air for combustion enters the fryer from the bottom
of the cabinet and the bottom of the control panel.
DO NOT BLOCK BOTTOM OF KEATING INSTANT
RECOVERY® GAS FRYER CABINET. DO NOT
OBSTRUCT FLUE.
Your Keating Instant Recovery® Gas Fryer is designed
to be serviced from the front.
MINIMUM CLEARANCE
MINIMUM CLEARANCE
SUITABLE FOR COMBUSTIBLE FLOORS VENTI-
LATION
The Keating Gas Fryer must be installed in an area
providing adequate air supply and ventilation. Do not
obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
Proper ventilation is one of the important considerations for efficient operation of the Keating Gas Fryer. It
should be installed so that the products of combustion
are removed efficiently without producing drafts that
will interfere with proper burner operation. The intake
for the exhaust fan should not be placed close to the
flue of the Keating Gas Fryer to insure proper air flow
necessary for combustion. The area around the front
and bottom of the Keating Gas Fryer must be kept
clear and unobstructed. In the U.S.A. the ventilation
systems must conform to the ANSI/NFPA96 latest edition. “A minimum of 18" (457mm) should be maintained
between the flue outlet and the lower edge of the
grease filters.” Must be installed at least 16" away from
any open flame. It is the responsibility of the owner and
the local installer to comply with national and local
codes.
NATIONAL CODE REQUIREMENT
The installation must conform with local codes, or in the
absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas
code, ANSI Z223.1 or the Natural gas Installation
Code, CAN/CGA-B149.1 or the Propane Installation
Code, CAN/CGA-B149.2. Flexible connectors must
comply to ANSI Z221.69/CAN/CGA1.16. Keating
equipment is designed and manufactured to operate

only on the type of gas specified by the user and indicated on the serial plate located inside the door. The
gas may be natural, propane or manufactured. The
type of gas cannot be converted to another gas fuel by
turning or engaging a switch.
GAS CONNECTIONS AND PIPE SIZE
A single Keating Gas Fryer requires a standard gas
pipe size of 3/4 inch (19mm) I.D. connection. Multiple
fryers with a common manifold will require a minimum
of 1 1/4 inch I.D. gas supply line. The size of the gas
supply pipe is very important. If the pipe is too small
you will have low gas pressure at the Keating Gas
Fryer manifold. Low gas pressure will cause slow
recovery and/or delayed ignition. If you have a question
about gas pipe size call your local gas company.
CCAAUUTTIIOONN
Before connecting new pipe to the Keating Gas Fryer
the pipe must be blown out to remove all foreign particles. These particles in the controls or burners may
cause improper or dangerous operating conditions.
CCAAUUTTIIOONN
Pipe joint compounds that are used on threaded joints
of appliance piping shall be resistant to the action of liquefied petroleum gases (Loctite PST 56765). When
using pipe joint compound do not apply to the first two
threads. Use only very small amount and only on male
threads. This will prevent clogging of burner orifices
and the gas valve. Never use compound on female
threads as it might be pushed into the gas valve.
Have your installer check for gas leaks using a soap
and water solution before operating. DO NOT USE AN
OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.
1) The Keating Gas Fryer and its individual shut off
valves must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system
at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.45kPa) (13.84
in WC) High pressure can damage the gas valve causing a hazardous condition.
2.) The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply
piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff
valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2
psi (3.45 kPa).
NOTE: Line pressure must be kept
below 10” (Nat), 13” (LP) to avoid
damage to the gas valve.
The required gas pressure for proper
operation of each fryer is 4" water column for natural gas and 10" water column for propane gas at the burner
manifold.
If more than one gas unit is on the same supply line,
you may require a larger line. Consult your local gas
company to assure adequate volume and pressure.
Refer to serial plate for proper gas requirement for your
particular model.
FLEXIBLE GAS CONNECTORS AND QUICK DIS-
CONNECT DEVICES
For an appliance equipped with casters:
The installation shall be made with a connector that
complies with the Standard for Connectors for Movable
Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.69 or the Standard for Connectors for Moveable Gas Appliances, CAN/CGA-6.16,
and a quick disconnect device that complies with the
Standard for Quick-Disconnect Devices for Use With
Gas Fuel, ANSI Z21.41 or the Standard for Quick Disconnect Devices for Use with Gas Fuel, CAN1-6.9.
RESTRAINING DEVICES
1.) Adequate means must be provided to limit the
movement of the appliance without
depending on the connector and the
quick-disconnect device or its associated piping to limit the appliance
movement.
Fryer must also be restrained to prevent tipping when installed so that hot
liquid splashing is avoided.
2.) The restraint means must be
attached to the rear of the Keating Gas Fryer within 2"
of the center line width and approximately 1-5/8" from
the bottom of the cabinet back to allow the restraining
bolt to be anchored to the cabinet back between the
cabinet bottom and inner liner.
IF DISCONNECTION OF THE RESTRAINT IS NECESSARY, IT MUST BE RECONNECTED WHEN THE
KEATING GAS FRYER IS RETURNED TO ITS ORIGINALLY INSTALLED POSITION.
INSTALLATION
The installer is responsible for attaching the tipping
restraint.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The Keating Gas Fryer, when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes, or in
the absence of local codes, the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70. or the Canadian Electrical
Code, CSAC-22.2 as applicable. A wiring diagram is
located on the last page. In the U.S.A. and Canada, the
electrical supply must be 120 VAC, 60
Hz.
WWAARRNNIINNGG
This appliance is equipped with a
three-prong 120 Volt NEMA 5-15
(grounding) plug for your protection
against shock hazard and should be
plugged directly into a properly
grounded and polarized three-prong
3
receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong
from this plug. (Model AA has no electric connection).
LEVELING
The Keating Gas Fryer will operate at its highest efficiency when properly leveled. Place a level on the fryer
from side to side. For fryer on legs, the bottom foot of
the leg is adjustable. Turn counterclockwise to
decrease height, or clockwise to increase height until
level. For fryers with casters, the casters are adjustable
by loosening the jam nut and turn the caster in or out.
When the desired level is reached, tighten the jam nut.
Adjustments of more than 3/4" are not recommended
on any caster. The same procedure should be followed
to level the fryer from front to back.
PLACING KEATING GAS
FRYER IN OPERATION
Never leave your fryer operating unattended.
(When all previous instructions have been completed).
Check the serial plate on the panel (inside cabinet) to
determine if the burner is set up for the proper type gas
before connecting the quick-disconnect or piping from
the building gas supply pipe.
a. Maximum incoming gas pressure
NATURAL GAS – 7 inches W.C. with burners on
LP GAS – 11 inches W.C. with burners on
If a popping noise is heard from the fryer during the
cooking cycle, the following checks must be made in
this order:
b. Fryer manifold gas pressure
NATURAL GAS – 4 inches W.C. with burners on
LP – 10 inches W.C. with burners on
ALWAYS disconnect fuel source and power
supply before servicing.
NEVER move a fryer when full of oil.
NEVER introduce objects or liquids into fryer,
while operational, which are not designed or
made for cooking.
THIS FRYER MAY NOT BE ALTERED, MODIFIED
OR CHANGED IN ANY WAY.
FILLING
NOTE: Before filling the fryer make certain the fryer
vessel is sanitized, dry and the drain valve is
completely closed.
NOTE: We recommend that solid shortening not be
used in a Keating Gas Fryer if it is not equipped with a
melt cycle. If solid shortening is used, it should be melted prior to filling the fryer vessel. Damage done by
melting solid shortening in the fryer vessel will void the
warranty.
CCAAUUTTIIOONN
Oil expands when heated. The “Fill Level” line has
been provided to ensure optimum cooking while ensuring the safety of the operator. Do not overfill the fryer
vessel.
Fill Level Line
Fill the fryer vessel with oil or MELTED solid shortening
up to the “Fill Level” line.
CCAAUUTTIIOONN
BE SURE THE HEAT TRANSFER TUBES ARE COMPLETELY COVERED WITH OIL BEFORE SWITCHING THE FRYER ON. IF OIL LEVEL DROPS BELOW
TOP OF HEAT TRANSFER TUBES, SEVERE DAMAGE TO FRYER AND INJURY TO OPERATOR MAY
RESULT.
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
(See lighting instructions plate attached to the inner
door of Keating Gas Fryer.) Model AA does not
require an electrical connection.
Make sure that the Keating Gas Fryer is plugged in. If
not your fryer will not operate. Make sure that the main
