(Prop. 65), which “prohibits any person in the course of
doing business from knowingly and intentionally
exposing any individual to a chemical known to the State
of California to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity
without first giving clear and reasonable warning to such
individuals.” The Governor’s Scientific Advisory Panel
added carbon monoxide to the list of hazardous
chemicals known to cause reproductive harm.
In order to establish full compliance with Proposition 65,
we attached a yellow warning label to each gas fired
appliance manufactured by Keating of Chicago, Inc.

serviced by qualified and/or certified and/or licensed
service personnel – you may void your Keating
warranty if installation is not completed per local,
national and Keating specifications. Contact your
dealer for assistance.
DAMAGE DURING
SHIPMENT
LEVELING
The fryer will operate at its highest efficiency when
properly leveled. Place a level on fryer vessel from side
to side. For fryers on legs, the bottom foot of the leg is
adjustable. Turn clockwise to decrease height or
counter clockwise to increase height until level. For
fryers on casters, the casters are adjustable by
loosening the jam nut and turning 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.
The fryer has been assembled, tested and inspected
at the factory. Upon arrival, the complete fryer should
be checked for any damage that may have occurred
during shipment.
The carrier is responsible for all damage in transit
whether visible or concealed. Do not pay for the freight
bill until the fryer has been thoroughly checked for
damage. If concealed damage is found later, contact
the carrier immediately to file a claim.
What to do if equipment arrives damaged:
VISIBLE LOSS OR DAMAGE—Be certain to note this
on the freight or express receipt and have it signed by
the delivery person.
FILE CLAIM FOR DAMAGES IMMEDIATELY –
Regardless of extent of damage.
CONCEALED LOSS OR DAMAGE—If damage is
noticed when equipment is unpacked, notify the freight
company immediately, and file a “concealed damage
claim”. This MUST be done immediately. Be sure to
retain the shipping container for inspection.
Keating does not assume responsibility for Loss OR
Damage incurred in transit.
INSTALLATION
Installation must conform with local codes or, in
absence of local codes, with the current National Fuel
Gas Code Z223.1/NFPA 54(latest edition), Natural Gas
