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 31 thru 36) 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 Electrical Code
ANSI/NFPA 70 or Canadian Electrical Code CAN 22.2
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
Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70 or Canadian Electrical
Code CAN 22.2 as applicable.
NOTE:
The connections to the fryer can be changed in
the field from three phase to single phase or from
single phase to three phase. This can be done by
simply changing the wiring at the terminal block. To
change the connections for your fryer, see the
appropriate wiring diagram for your fryer on pages 31
thru 36.
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 UL. If your fryer is to
be fed by a 208 or 220 volt system, consult the Keating
Fryer Specifications on pages 37 and 38 to determine
the full load rating of the fryer.
NOTE:
Some fryers with Basket-Lifts, Zero-Space™
Filters (model BB ZS or TS ZS) or Central Filters may
have separate 120 volt control circuit connections.
Fryers with Basket-Lifts or Zero-Space™ filters will
need the connections made to a separate smaller
terminal block located near the larger terminal block for
the 208-240 volt connections or inside a separate
wiring box. This terminal block will have one black and
one white wire connected to it. Fryers with Central
Filters will need the connections made inside the
Central Filter junction box. For proper connections,
refer to the appropriate wiring diagram on pages 31
thru 36.
NOTE:
A copy of the wiring diagram is included with
this manual.
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, UL standards and most local
codes require a bushing or strain relief (not provided by
Keating) to protect the cord.
CALIBRATION
For Calibration refer to page 9 - Calibration.
III OPERATING
FILLING
NOTE:
Before filling the fryer make certain the fryer
vessel is sanitized, dry and the drain valve is
completely closed. Refer to figures 3-4, 3-5 on pages 6
and 7 for location of drain valve.
WARNING
BE SURE THE HEATING ELEMENTS ARE
COMPLETELY COVERED WITH OIL BEFORE
SWITCHING THE FRYER ON. IF OIL LEVEL DROPS
BELOW TOP OF HEATING ELEMENTS, SEVERE
DAMAGE TO FRYER AND INJURY TO OPERATOR
MAY RESULT.
WARNING
WATER IN ANY FORM AND HOT OIL DON’T MIX!!!
CAUTION:
Oil expands when heated. The “Fill Level”
line has been provided to ensure optimum cooking
while ensuring the safety of the operator. Do not overfill
the fryer vessel.
