NOTE: The installer is responsible for attaching the tip-
ping restraint. See page 2 for drop-in installation.
If disconnection of the restraint is necessary, it
must be reconnected when the Keating Gas Fryer
is returned to its originally installed position.
NOTICE: WHEN THIS APPLIANCE IS INSTALLED WITH
CASTERS, IT MUST BE INSTALLED WITH CASTERS
SUPPLIED, A CONNECTOR COMPLYING WITH EITHER
ANSI Z21.69 OR CAN/CGA-6.16 AND A QUICK-DIS-
CONNECT DEVICE COMPLYING WITH EITHER ANSI
Z21.41 OR CSA-6.9. IT MUST ALSO BE INSTALLED
WITH RESTRAINING MEANS TO GUARD AGAINST
TRANSMISSION OF STRAIN TO THE CONNECTOR, AS
SPECIFIED IN THE APPLIANCE MANUFACTURER’S
INSTRUCTIONS.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The Keating 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 USA and Canada, the electrical
supply must be 120 VAC, 60 Hz.
The Keating Instant Recovery®Gas Fryer is equipped
with a 9' neoprene covered, 3 wire electrical cord with
a three-pronged grounded plug for protection against
electrical shock.
NOTE: The electrical wiring diagram for the fryer is
located on the inside of the fryer door or in the back of
this manual.
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 PROP-
ERLY GROUNDED AND POLARIZED
THREE-PRONG RECEPTACLE. DO
NOT CUT OR REMOVE THE GROUND-
ING PRONG FROM THIS PLUG.
Before plugging in the fryer, confirm the outlet is
properly polarized and grounded. If the hot and neutral
terminals are reversed or the outlet is not properly
grounded, the burners may not ignite (burner on light
will go out after 2-1/2 seconds and the ignition pro-
cesses will continue 3 times).
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, amongst other problems. If you
have a question about gas pipe size, call your local gas
company.
Before connecting new pipe to the Keating Gas Fryer
the pipe must be blown out to remove all foreign par-
ticles. These particles in the controls or burners may
cause improper or dangerous operating conditions.
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 a very small amount and only on
male threads. This will prevent clogging of burner orific-
es 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 pip-
ing 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. Excessive pres-
sure introduced to the fryer may void the warranty.
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: Keating fryers use a constant
pilot that will emit a very small
amount of gas at all times.
NOTE: Line pressure must be kept
below 10" (Nat), 13" (LP) during
leak test to avoid damage to the gas
valve.
WARNING
Do not use
open flame to
check for leaks.
WARNING
Plug into a
properly grounded
three-prong receptacle.
