SUITABLE FOR NON– COMBUSTIBLE FLOORS
The Keating Gas Fryer must be installed in an area
providing adequate air supply and ventilation. Do not
obstruct the fl ow of combustion and ventilation air.
Proper ventilation is one of the important consider-
ations for effi cient operation of the Keating Gas Fryer.
It should be installed so that the products of combus-
tion are removed effi ciently without producing drafts
that will interfere with proper burner operation. The
intake for the exhaust fan should not be placed close
to the fl ue of the Keating Gas Fryer to insure proper
air fl ow necessary for combustion. The area around
the front and bottom of the Keating Gas Fryer must
be kept clear and unobstructed. In the USA the ven-
tilation systems must conform to the ANSI/NFPA96
latest edition. “A minimum of 18" (457mm) should
be maintained between the fl ue outlet and the lower
edge of the grease fi lters.” Must be installed at least
16" away from any open fl ame. It is the responsibil-
ity of the owner and the local installer to comply with
national and local codes.
FIRST STEPS
NATIONAL CODE REQUIREMENT
The installation must conform with local codes, or
in the absence of local codes, with the National
Fuel Gas code, ANSI Z223.1 or the Natural gas
Installation Code, CAN/CGA-B149.1 or the Propane
Installation Code, CAN/CGA-B149.2. Flexible connec-
tors must comply to ANSI Z221.69/CAN/CGA1.16.
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.
POSITIONING
The fryer must be no closer than 6 inches from
any combustible material and 16 inches away from
any open fl ame. The fryer must be placed under
an exhaust hood with a fi re retardant system. Your
ventilation hood, when installed, must conform to the
current ANSI/NFPA 96 standard. ALL connections
and placement must comply with local and national
codes. It is the responsibility of the owner and local
installer to comply with these regulations when in-
stalling the fryer.
Counter model and fl oor 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.
