This fryer MUST be installed, inspected, calibrated and
serviced by qualified and/or certified and/or licensed
service personnel – you may void your Keating
warranty if installation is not completed per local,
national and Keating specifications. Contact your
dealer for assistance.
DAMAGE DURING
SHIPMENT
The fryer has been assembled, tested and inspected
at the factory. Upon arrival, the complete fryer should
be checked for any damage that may have occurred
during shipment.
The carrier is responsible for all damage in transit
whether visible or concealed. Do not pay for the freight
bill until the fryer has been thoroughly checked for
damage. If concealed damage is found later, contact
the carrier immediately to file a claim.
What to do if equipment arrives damaged:
VISIBLE LOSS OR DAMAGE—Be certain to note this
on the freight or express receipt and have it signed by
the delivery person.
FILE CLAIM FOR DAMAGES IMMEDIATELY –
Regardless of extent of damage.
CONCEALED LOSS OR DAMAGE—If damage is
noticed when equipment is unpacked, notify the freight
company immediately, and file a “concealed damage
claim”. This MUST be done immediately. Be sure to
retain the shipping container for inspection.
Keating does not assume responsibility for Loss OR
Damage incurred in transit.
INSTALLATION
Installation must conform with local codes or, in
absence of local codes, with the current National Fuel
Gas Code Z223.1/NFPA 54(latest edition), Natural Gas
Installation CAN/CGA - B149.1 or Propane Installation
Code CAN/CGA-B149.2. When pressure testing at test
pressures less than or equal to 1/2 psig (3.45 KPA),
fryer
must be isolated
from gas supply piping. When
pressure testing at test pressures above 1/2 psig (3.45
KPA), fryer
must be disconnected
from gas supply
piping system.
Counter model and flood 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. Turn counter clockwise to decrease height
or 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 2-1
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
without depending on the connector, the
quick-disconnect device or its associated piping to limit
the appliance movement.
Connectors must comply with the current ANSI
Z21.69/CAN 1 CAN/CGA 6.16 (latest edition) standard
for connectors for movable gas appliances. Quick-
disconnect devices must comply with the current ANSI
Z21.41/CAN 1 6.9 standard for quick-disconnect
devices for use with gas fuel as applicable.
The restraint must be attached to the rear of the fryer
within 1" of the center line width and approximately 1"
from the bottom of the cabinet back to allow the
restraining bolt to be anchored through the leg channel
to ensure positive support to restrain fryer movement
and not depend on the connector, quick disconnect or
piping to limit the fryer movement.
