INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING THE GAS PRESSURE
TAP INCLUDED ON FRYER BATTERY WITH COMMON
MANIFOLD MANUFACTURED AFTER 8/19/10 (Part
#060265)
The gas pressure tap is available on batteried fryers with common manifold piping manufactured after
8/19/10. Keating batteries are often equipped with a
common manifold that supplies gas to each product
in the battery requiring only a single service supply hook-up. A pressure tap is now provided at this
service hook-up end. Use this tap to confi rm there is
at least 7" WC gas pressure for natural gas and 11"
WC gas pressure for LP (propane) gas when all battery
gas burners are running.

Connect the fryer to the main gas supply line at the
rear of the fryer. The piping should be a minimum of
3/4" NPT supply pipe for a single fryer at the burner
manifold. Batteries require larger supply lines. Installation must conform to the current local codes and
National Fuel Gas Code (U.S.) ANSI Z223. 1/NFPA 54
(latest edition), Natural Gas Installation Code CAN/
CGA-B149.1 or Propane Installation Code CAN/CGAB149.2 (latest edition).
NOTE: If more than one gas fryer 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 requirements for your particular model.
NOTE: Piping for a battery should be at least 1-1/4"
to 1-1/2" IPS, depending on total BTU input. Consult
your local gas supplier for appropriate battery piping
size.
1. Remove the self-sealing screw and hook-up 1/8"
NPT hose to a pressure measuring meter.
2. Turn on the gas supply.
3. Turn on each gas product in the battery so that
all burners are on.
4. Measure the gas supply pressure and ensure
that it is at least 7" WC for natural gas and 11" WC
for LP (propane) gas. (Gas pressure must NOT be
greater than 14" WC whether burners are on or off.)
NOTE: When installing pressure tap, use gas-rated
sealant on tap threads. Only use sealant on threads
that contact the manifold pipe. Excess sealant may
come loose and clog downstream gas valves or
orifi ces. Clean away any pipe debris or loose sealant
after installing gas pressure tap.
BE SURE TO REPLACE AND TIGHTEN THE SELFSEALING SCREW IN THE TAP. EITHER TIGHTEN
SELF-SEALING SCREW BY HAND, OR TIGHTEN WITH

OIL BREAKDOWN
As part of a “Preventive Maintenance Program”, the
oil in your fryer needs to be fi ltered 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 fi ltering, you can realize
substantial savings in oil costs as well as maintenance charges.
LIMITED CALIBRATION
(Less than 25° difference)
You will need:
One screwdriver with 1/8"
wide fl at blade
One accurate fryer
thermometer
Thermostat knob removed
to reveal calibration screws
1. *For 14" IFM Fryers:
• The end of thermostat bulb should touch the
burner tube.
1. For 18" & 20" IFM Fryers:
• If the bulb is too loose, the paper will slip
through with little or no resistance. A fryer with
a thermostat bulb that is too loose will
overshoot.
Overshoot: The thermostat takes a long time
to cycle and then misses its preset temperature
by 20°F - 40°F yielding a poor quality product.
overshoot.
• If the bulb is too tight, the paper will either not
pull through or it will tear. A fryer with a
thermostat bulb that is too tight will short cycle.
Short Cycle: The thermostat will cycle rapidly
while the fryer is in the idle mode; the
temperature will be erratic.
1. Set thermostat to desired frying temperature.
2. Allow thermostat to cycle three times.
2. Allow fryer to cycle three times.
3. Place an accurate thermometer in the oil at the
tip of the thermostat bulb.
NOTE: Locate thermometer in same position for
every calibration.
4. If calibration of fryer is found to be less than 25°F
off, simply loosen the four retaining screws holding the dial plate in place. Reset the dial plate to
match the thermometer reading. If the fryer is found
to be more than 25°F off, a qualifi ed service company must be contacted to have the fryer properly
calibrated.
DO NOT ADJUST THE THERMOSTAT SET SCREW - IT
VOIDS ANY WARRANTY ON PART.
THERMOSTAT BULB POSITIONING
BEFORE REPLACING, TEST THERMOSTATS
NOTE: Operational problems can easily be corrected
by thermostat bulb positioning.
Keating’s patented thermostat application is accurate
within 2°F of the dial setting between 250°F – 350°F.
This accuracy is attained only if the thermostat bulb
is placed properly against the heat transfer tube. To
quickly and accurately test for proper bulb placement,
a single thickness of writing paper should be pulled
through between the tube and the bulb with medium
resistance.*

FLAME ADJUSTMENT
A. Gas Pressure
1. At gas valve, remove adjustment port cover, rotate
adjustment screw with screwdriver and replace port
cover.
2. To check the gas pressure (3" WC for natural
gas or 10" WC for Propane at the manifold), use an
allen wrench to remove the gas pressure test port,
located in the center of the manifold.
3. Line pressure (incoming pressure) is critical for
proper ignition of the IFM. Incoming pressure must
be:
Natural - 7" W.C.
Propane - 11" W.C.

B. Air Flow
1. To determine the proper gas/air mixture, look into
the viewing window for each burner, located just to
the left of each burner air hose where the hose is
connected to the burner assembly. (See Figure 8).
• bright red/orange with proper mixture orange “glow” around burner tube.
• too much gas – orange “haze” around burner
tube (showing incomplete combustion)
• too little gas – blue at front of burner, or
totally blue
Remove the cover by loosening the screws to
gain access to the burner viewing windows.
(14 IFM shown).
5. Adjust bulb so at least 2" of bent portion of it is
next to heat transfer tube and tighten compression
nut onto compression fi tting for fryer 18 & up. The
end of thermostat bulb should touch the burner tube
for 14" fryers.
6. Refi ll fryer with oil to “fi ll level line”.
7. Start fryer, preheat and calibrate with
thermometer.
REQUIRED TEST THERMOSTAT
Multimeter (for testing continuity)
CHECKING CONTINUITY WITH THE MULTIMETER
1. Rotate the thermostat shaft until an audible click
is heard.
2. Rotate the thermostat shaft left and right ten
times causing the switch to click on and off ten
times, while using the Multimeter to verify continuity.
3. If the switch does not show continuity during all
ten trials, replace the thermostat.
