this on the freight or express receipt and have it
signed by the delivery person.
DROPPING THE FRYER INTO THE COUNTER
TOP
It is only necessary to place the fryer in such a position
that the front edge overlaps the front raised edge of the
opening.
Push the fryer forward as far as it will go holding the
fryer on approximately a 15° angle, and then drop the
rear of the fryer into its proper position lowering it down
gently so you do not deform the table or equipment
stand.
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

POSITIONING
The fryer must be placed under an exhaust hood with
a fire retardant system. Your ventilation hood, when
installed, must conform to the current standards. ALL
connections and placement must comply with current
local and national codes. It is the responsibility of the
owner and local installer to comply with these
regulations when installing the fryer.
Counter model and floor model fryers must berestrained to prevent tipping when installed in order
to avoid splashing, spilling, etc. of hot liquid. The
restraining method may be a manner of installation or
by separate means.
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. Looking from the bottom of the foot, 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.

MAINTENANCE
WARRANTY REPAIRS
Keating’s warranty begins with the date of installation.
In the event that your fryer, under warranty, needs
repairs other than routine maintenance or cleaning,
you are requested to contact Keating of Chicago (at
1-800-KEATING) before calling a local service
company.
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Preventive maintenance should be done in daily,
weekly, monthly and yearly intervals as necessary.
Following preventive maintenance procedures will help
keep your fryer working efficiently. Proper care and
servicing will lead to years of quality performance.
2. Allow fryer to cycle three times.
3. Place an accurate thermometer in the oil.
4. If calibration of fryer is found to be less than 15° off,
simply loosen three dial plate retaining screws,
rotate dial plate to match thermometer reading and
tighten screws. For calibration over a 15°F
difference, contact your local service company.
NOTE: Locate thermometer in same position for
every calibration. Position next to upper heating
element is recommended.
C. Thermostat Bulb Positioning
Keating’s patented thermostat application is accurate
within ±7°F of the dial setting between 250°F and
350°F. This accuracy is attained only if the thermostat
bulb is placed properly against the top element using
element clamps. If the bulb is too far away from the
element, the fryer will overshoot.

MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE
& SERVICE
DIAGNOSIS
As part of a “Preventive Maintenance Program”, the oil
in your fryer needs to be filtered regularly to avoid
breakdown. The initial investment in the frying system
is less than the total overall costs of oil during the life of
the fryer, and with regular filtering, you can realize
substantial savings in oil costs as well as maintenance
charges.
B. Limited Calibration (less than 15°F off)
You will need:
One standard flat blade screwdriver
One accurate fryer thermometer
1. Set thermostat to desired frying temperature.
8
SERVICE DIAGNOSIS
A properly adjusted Keating Instant Recovery®Electric Fryer, with no load, will cycle “on” approximately every
1
/2 to 3 minutes. Each cycle will last 15-25 seconds, ensuring that the temperature setting is held within a
2
narrow band.
Every Keating Instant Recovery
guard against component failure.
A. Trouble shooting
