Main Gas Connection
FOR YOUR SAFETY: Do not store or use gasoline
or other flammable vapors and liquids in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance.
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/CGA-B149.2 (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.
ELECTRICAL
CONNECTION
The Keating Incredible Frying Machine (IFM) is
equipped with a 9' neoprene covered, 3 wire electrical
cord with a three-pronged grounded plug for protection
against electrical shock. This plug must be placed into
a 120V properly grounded three-pronged polarized
outlet. For proper grounding procedures see local
codes, or in the absence of local codes, the National
Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70 (latest edition) or
Canadian Electrical Code CAN 22.2 (latest edition) as
applicable.
CAUTION:
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).
NOTE:
The electrical wiring diagram for the fryer is
located on the inside of the fryer door.
WARNING
DO NOT CUT OR REMOVE THE GROUNDING
PRONG FROM THIS PLUG.
GAS LEAK
TESTING
Prior to lighting your fryer:
1. Make sure all thermostats, switches and safety
valves are in the “OFF” position.
2. Turn main On/Off manual gas valve to the “ON”
position.
3. Have your plumber or gas company check for
leaks with a soap solution. (NEVER check with an
open flame!)

NOTE:
It is estimated that half of all service calls made
on Keating Incredible Frying Machine Gas Fryers (IFM)
result from an inadequate gas supply. During
installation, have a gas company representative make
certain that the fryer is receiving adequate gas
pressure and volume.
