FRYER PREPARATION FOR USE
“BOIL OUT” INSTRUCTIONS
New ANETS Fryers are cleaned and leak-tested
at the factory before shipping. Before using a
newly installed fryer for food preparation, clean the
kettleagain, as follows:
1 . Thoroughly wipe the interior of the kettle
with clean cloths. Open the front door on
the lower portion of the fryer to access the
drain ball valve. Open the drain ball valve
(by aligning the valve handle with the drain
ball valve) and wipe the entire drain line clean.
2 . Close the drain ball valve (turn the valve han-
dle cross-wise to the drain ball valve).
Fill
the kettle with water to about 3“ fromthe
top . Add 1 to 2 cups of low sudsing soap
powder,washing soda(trisodiumphos-
phate), or deep fat fryer kettle cleaner.
3
. Perform the Lighting Procedure for the
fryer. (Refer to the Lighting Procedure
later in this manual.)
4 . Set the thermostat to 190 ° F. Heat, but DO
NOT boil the water. Stir the water to dis-
solve the cleaning material.
5 . Clean the fryer kettle for at least 20 minutes.
Use a small hand mop (an optional brush can
be ordered for this purpose) to clean the
upper portion of the kettle (above the 3
“
waterline) and the top rim of the kettle.
6 . Shut down the fryer using the Shutdown
Procedure for the fryer. Refer to the
Shut-
down Procedure later in this manual. For
safety, allow the water to cool (below 140ºF)
beforedraining.

USE
(Continued)
For a fryer with a built-in filter system, DO
NOT pump the cleaning (or rinsing) solu-
tion through the filter system, to avoid dam-
aging the filter system pump.
7 . Open the front door and mount the drain
extension to the drain ball valve. Position a
container (bucket) capable of holding HOT
cleaning solution beneath the end of the drain
extensiontoholdthecleaningsolutionbeing
drained, as shown in Figure 5.
Figure 5. Draining The Kettle
8 . Open the drain ball valve SLOWLY, to avoid
splashes while draining the cleaning solution
from the kettle.
9 . Close the drain ball valve (valve handle
cross-wise) and remove the drain extension.
Close the front door.
10. Safely dispose of the cleaning solution.
11. Fill the kettle with water to about 3
“ from
the top. Add 2 cups of vinegar to neutralize
thecleaningsolution.
12. Repeat steps 3 through 10 of this procedure.
13. Thoroughly wipe the interior of the kettle and
the drain ball valve with clean, dry, wiping
cloths to remove ALL water.
14. Dry the kettle thoroughly because any re-
maining water can cause spattering of hot
shortening when the kettle is later filled and
heated.

or less, if smaller portions are desired).
`
Model MX-14AA and MX-7A Fryers ONLY: Place the loaded fryer basket on the basket lifter frame
and turn the timer control knob to the desired cooking time; press the pushbutton of the timer control
to lower the loaded basket into the hot liquid shortening. When the basket of cooked food product
rises from the hot liquid shortening, let it drain for approximately 15 - 30 seconds before serving.
Fryers equipped with multi-product cooking computers: Consult the instructions provided with
those fryers.
NEVER increase the thermostat setting above the recommended setting to reduce the cooking time;
this will produce a lower quality product and will cause more rapid shortening breakdown.

DANGER
DO NOT move thefryer while itcontains
HOT shortening. Allow it to cool and
drain the shortening from the fryer be-
fore moving it for service, cleaning or
maintenance to avoid spilling or splash-
ing . [Refer to steps 1 through 7.] Burns
from HOT shortening can cause seri-
ous injury or death.
