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 22 thru 35) 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
Canadian Electrical Codes as applicable.
NOTE:
A copy of your wiring diagram is shipped with
your equipment.
NOTE:
For fryers rated at 208-240 volts, the
amperage ratings marked on the nameplates of the
fryers are listed at 240 volts as required by ETL. If your
fryer is to be fed by a 208 or 220 volt system, consult
the Keating Fryer Specifications on pages 36 and 37 to
determine the full load rating of the fryer.
NOTE:
Fryers with Safe & Easy
®
Filters (model
BBSE or TSSE) or Central Filters will have separate
120 volt control circuit connections.
NOTE:
A copy of your wiring diagram is located on
the inside of the door.
NOTE:
A hole has been punched in the rear of the
fryer cabinet for a cord or conduit exit. If a cord is used,
the National Electrical Code, ETL standards and most
local codes require a bushing or strain relief (not
provided by Keating) to protect the cord.
