WARNING

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 be
restrained 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.
Figure 2-2
RESTRAINING DEVICES
On fryer installations with casters, casters and jam nuts
must be completely tightened. Adequate means must
also be provided to limit the movement of the
appliance.
ELECTRICAL
CONNECTION
The Keating Instant Recovery®Electric fryer is
equipped with a three wire terminal block for customer
connections. The terminal block is located behind the
fryer door on the right side behind a panel (held in
place by two screws). Compare the fryer terminal
connections to the appropriate wiring diagram for the
fryer (see pages 17 thru 23) to see if the fryer is
connected three phase or single phase. All wires/cords,
plugs, receptacles and circuit breakers must be sized
adequately for the full load rating of the fryer as
specified by local codes, or in the absence of local
codes, by the current National and Canadian Electrical
Codes as applicable.
The Keating Electric Fryer is also equipped with a
grounding lug next to the terminal block. For proper
grounding procedures, see local codes or, in the
absence of local codes, by the current National and

CLEANING AND BOIL-OUT
When cleaning and boiling out your fryer use Keating
Sea Powder and Keating Klenzer to keep your fryer in
top condition. Keating Sea Powder dissolves any
grease build up—even carbonized grease in fryer
vessels—one of the leading causes of premature oil
breakdown. And once your fryer vessel is clean, use
Keating Klenzer, the finest dry stainless steel polish
available, to restore your Keating Instant Recovery®
Electric fryers’ exterior to its original luster.
To avoid damaging the fryer, do not power wash,
spray or hose it down while cleaning.

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.
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE CHART
* High production facilities should be checked more often.
A. Oil Breakdown
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.
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.
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.
