MAINTENANCEWARRANTY REPAIRSKeating’s warranty begins with the date of installation.In the event that your fryer, under warranty, needsrepairs other than routine maintenance or cleaning,you are requested to contact Keating of Chicago (at1-800-KEATING) before calling a local servicecompany.PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCEPreventive maintenance should be done in daily,weekly, monthly and yearly intervals as necessary.Following preventive maintenance procedures will helpkeep your fryer working efficiently. Proper care andservicing will lead to years of quality performance.PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE CHART* High production facilities should be checked more often.A. Oil BreakdownAs part of a “Preventive Maintenance Program”, the oilin your fryer needs to be filtered regularly to avoidbreakdown. The initial investment in the frying systemis less than the total overall costs of oil during the life ofthe fryer, and with regular filtering, you can realizesubstantial savings in oil costs as well as maintenancecharges.B. Limited Calibration (less than 15°F off)Thermostat CalibrationYou will need:One standard flat blade screwdriverOne accurate fryer thermometer1. Set thermostat to desired frying temperature.2. Allow fryer to cycle three times.3. Place an accurate thermometer in the oil.4. If temperature of fryer is found to be more or lessthan 15°F off, remove the thermostat knob. Thereare (4) screws holding the dial plate in place.Loosen the screws and reset the dial plate tomatch the thermometer reading.DO NOT ADJUST THE THERMOSTAT SET SCREW- IT VOIDS ANY WARRANTY ON PART.NOTE: Locate thermometer in same position forevery calibration. Position next to upper heatingelement is recommended.C. Thermostat Bulb PositioningKeating’s patented thermostat application is accuratewithin ±7°F of the dial setting between 250°F and350°F. This accuracy is attained only if the thermostatbulb is placed properly against the top element usingelement clamps. If the bulb is too far away from theelement, the fryer will overshoot.Overshoot: The thermostat takes a long time tocycle and then misses its preset temperature by20°F - 40°F yielding a poor quality product.TIMEFRAME OPERATOR/OWNER SECTIONAt leastdaily• Check that the oil is up to“Max Level” line.• Clear all baskets.• Drain, strain or filter oil.OPERATIONAt leastweekly• Drain and clean fryer.• Boil-out fryer.OPERATIONAt leastmonthly• Check lights and controls.• Verify Thermostat settings.• Test Hi-Limit control.• Verify all thermostat settings.• Verify wire connections.MAINTENANCEAt leastyearlyQUALIFIED SERVICEPERSONNEL ONLY:• Calibrate thermostat.MAINTENANCE& SERVICEDIAGNOSIS9
