• BEFORE OPERATING THIS FRYER, CHECK PIPE
JOINTS FOR LEAKS BY USING A SOAP AND WATER
SOLUTION ONLY. DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME!
ON AN AA OR CMG (MILLIVOLT) FRYER, DO NOT
SHORT GAS VALVE TERMINALS WHEN TESTING
WIRING AS THERMOSTAT AND GAS VALVE DAMAGE
MAY OCCUR AND CAUSE UNSAFE CONDITIONS.
Pipe joint compounds that are used on threaded joints
of appliance piping shall be resistant to the action of
liquefi ed petroleum gases (Loctite PST 56765). When
using pipe joint compound do not apply to the fi rst two
threads. Use only very small amount and only on male
threads. This will prevent clogging of burner orifi ces
and the gas valve. Never use compound on female
threads as it might be pushed into the gas valve.
Have your installer check for gas leaks using a soap
and water solution before operating. DO NOT USE AN
OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.
1) The Keating Gas Fryer and its individual shut off
valves must be disconnected from the gas supply pip-
ing system during any pressure testing of that system
at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.45kPa)
(13.84 in WC) High pressure can damage the gas
valve causing a hazardous condition.
2.) The appliance must be isolated from the gas
supply piping system by closing its individual manual
shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas
supply piping system at test pressures equal to or
less than 1/2 psi (3.45 kPa).
NOTE:
If more than one gas fryer is on the same sup-
ply 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 require-
ments 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.
Never leave your fryer operating unattended.
(When all previous instructions have been completed).
Check the serial plate on the panel (inside cabinet) to
determine if the burner is set up for the proper type
gas before connecting the quick-disconnect or piping
from the building gas supply pipe.
a. Maximum incoming gas pressure
NATURAL GAS – 7 inches W.C. with burners on
LP GAS – 11 inches W.C. with burners on
If a popping noise is heard from the fryer during the
cooking cycle, the following checks must be made in
this order:
b. Fryer manifold gas pressure
NATURAL GAS – 4 inches W.C. with burners on
LP – 10 inches W.C. with burners on
ALWAYS disconnect fuel source and power supply
before servicing.
NEVER move a fryer when full of oil.
NEVER introduce objects or liquids into fryer, while
operational, which are not designed or made for
cooking.
THIS FRYER MAY NOT BE ALTERED, MODIFIED OR
CHANGED IN ANY WAY.
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 or sniffer.
(NEVER check with an open fl ame!)
4. Have your plumber or gas company
representative light the constant pilot.
(Not necessary if your fryer has a spark ignitor.)
GAS PRESSURE AT MANIFOLD
NATURAL Gas - 4.0 in. W.C.
LP Gas - 10.0 in. W.C.
MINIMUM INCOMING GAS PRESSURE
NATURAL Gas - 7.0 in. W.C.
LP Gas - 11.0 in. W.C.
NOTE:
It is estimated that half of all service calls
made on Keating Instant Recovery® Fryer 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
(see “Installation” or your serial plate on the fryer
door).
PROPANE GAS MAY EVENTUALLY LOSE ITS ODOR
AND PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN TO ASSURE
THAT IT IS NOT PRESENT EVEN THOUGH YOU DO
NOT DETECT AN ODOR. IF THERE IS ANY DOUBT,
YOU SHOULD CALL YOUR LOCAL PROPANE GAS
SUPPLIER FOR ASSISTANCE.
