REPAIRS
Keating’s warranty begins with the date of installation
(or ship date if we are not notified of an installation
date). In the event that your fryer, under warranty,
needs repairs other than routine maintenance or clea-
ning, you are requested to contact Keating of Chicago
(at 1-800-KEATING) before calling a local service
company. (Failure to do so may void your warranty).

MAINTENANCE
Preventive maintenance should be done in daily,
weekly, monthly and yearly intervals as necessary.
Following preventive maintenance procedures will help
keep your fryer working efficiently. Proper care and
servicing will lead to years of quality performance. 

A. Oil Breakdown
As part of a “Preventive Maintenance Program”, the oil
in your fryer needs to be filtered regularly to avoid
breakdown. The initial investment in the frying system
is less than the total overall costs of oil during the life of
the fryer, and with regular filtering, you can realize
substantial savings in oil costs, as well as, 
maintenance charges. 

B. Limited Calibration (less than 25°F off)
You will need:

One standard flat blade screwdriver
One accurate fryer thermometer

1. Set thermostat to desired frying temperature.
2. Allow fryer to cycle three times.
3. Place an accurate thermometer in the oil at the

thermostat bulb.

NOTE: Locate thermometer in same position for every
calibration. Position at thermostat bulb is 
recommended.

4. If calibration of fryer is found to be less than 25°F

off, simply loosen three dial plate retaining screws,
rotate dial plate to match thermometer reading and
tighten screws. If it is more than 25°F off contact a
qualified service company.
