Keating saves oil costs in three ways:

• BETTER FRY POT DESIGN
• LARGER COLD ZONE
• INSTANT RECOVER

1. You shouldn't have to wait on the fryer. A properly designed fry pot ensures that the fryer has recovered its temperature before the end of the cooking cycle. Keating “INSTANT RECOVERY” means continuous performance.
2. The Keating frying vessel is 27% Cold Zone, the food particles collected in the cold zone are unheated and therefore do not carbonize and contribute to premature shortening breakdown.
3. Keating's “INSTANT RECOVERY” feature means frying at lower temperatures (325° – 335°F) extending oil life while enhancing product quality.

Oil Capacity - 68 lbs.

Easy to clean

Keating uses only 304 stainless steel in its frying vessel design and polishes each vessel. The smoother the surface, the less carbon build-up occurs, making cleaning easier. A full 1-1/4" front drain allows easy draining of oil. Safety controls ensure safe and accurate cooking. The patented and precise thermostat controls cooking temperatures to ± 3°F. Hi-Limit control protects against the oil and fryer overheating. Each fryer goes through a rigorous 100% test before shipping with every component carefully checked. The actual temperature test chart is included with each fryer.

Special Order Options Keating gives you the widest range of options to ensure your fryer is exactly suited to your needs.

SPECIFICATIONS Fryer Vessel - 18 gauge stainless steel, with a shortening capacity of 68 pounds. Equipped with four 18 gauge stainless steel, 3" wide x 5" high horizontal heat transfer tubes, spaced above the bottom of the vessel so that the bottom is unheated and the food particles collecting in the bottom zone are unheated and therefore do not carbonize. The vessel is polished to inhibit carbon buildup and facilitate easy clean-up. The bottom of the vessel slopes toward the front, and is equipped with a 1-1/4" Tefl on core 1/4 turn drain valve, so the shortening can be drained into a receiving vessel placed in front of the fryer.

Splashdeck - 16 gauge, 304 stainless steel. It slopes toward the shortening containing vessel.

Splashback - 18 gauge, 304 stainless steel. It completely covers the side of the flue.

Cabinet - 18 gauge stainless steel. Rigid in construction, with four 8" adjustable legs. The cabinet door is made of 22 gauge 304 stainless steel. The door covers the front of the cabinet from the bottom of the fryer to the fryer panel, and the full width of the cabinet. Above the panel is a canopy.
