Keating Of Chicago 031289 Manuel D’Utilisation

Thermostat Bulb Positioning
Keating’s patented thermostat application is
accurate within 2°F of the dial setting between
250°F and 350°F. This accuracy is attained only
if the thermostat bulb is placed properly against
the heat transfer tube. A single thickness of
paper should be pulled through between the
tube and the bulb with medium resistance to
quickly and accurately test for proper bulb
placement and pressure.

1)

If the bulb is too tight, the paper
will either not pull through or it will
tear.
A fryer with a thermostat bulb that
is too tight will short cycle.

Short Cycle: The thermostat will cycle rapidly
while the fryer is in the idle mode; the
temperature will be erratic and fuel will be
wasted.

2) If the bulb is too loose, the paper

will slip through with little or no
resistance. A fryer with a
thermostat bulb that is too loose
will overshoot or cycle long.

Overshoot: The thermostat takes a long time to

cycle and then misses its preset temperature
by 20°F - 40°F yielding a poor quality
product.
