Gas Leak Testing; Filling; Lighting - Keating Of Chicago 2006 Series Manual

NOTE: The electrical wiring diagram for the fryer is
located on the inside of the fryer door or in the back
of this manual.

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. (NEVER check with an open
fl ame!)
GAS PRESSURE AT MANIFOLD
NATURAL Gas - 3.0 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 Incredible Frying Machine® (IFM) 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.

OPERATING

FILLING

NOTE: Before fi lling the fryer make certain the fryer
vessel is sanitized, dry and the drain valve is completely
closed. Refer to item 13 on page 17 or 11 on page 19
for location of drain valve.
NOTE: We recommend that solid shortening not be
used in an Incredible Frying Machine (IFM) as they are
not equipped with a melt cycle. If solid shortening is
used, it should be melted prior to fi lling the fryer vessel.
Damage done by melting solid shortening in the fryer
vessel will void the warranty.
BE SURE THE HEAT TRANSFER TUBES ARE COM-
PLETELY COVERED WITH OIL BEFORE SWITCHING THE
FRYER ON. IF OIL LEVEL DROPS BELOW TOP OF HEAT
TRANSFER TUBES, SEVERE DAMAGE TO FRYER AND
INJURY TO OPERATOR MAY RESULT.
