HOTshortening. Draintheshorteningfrom
thefryerbeforemovingitforservice,clean-
ing or maintenance to avoid spilling or
splashing. Burnsfrom hotshorteningcan
causeseriousinjury ordeath.
A. An ANETS Fryer is designed for opera-
tionwithakettlefilledwithapproximately35
to 50pounds (or 3½to 6gallons) of liquid
shortening.
CAUTION: DO NOT melt solid
shorteninginthis fryer because
themelting can damage the kettle,
whichwillvoidthefryerwarranty.
Solidshorteningmustbemelted intotheliquid
state beforeit can be used in an ANETS
Fryer.
B. Scheduleregular cleaningofthefryerto
ensurelong-termsatisfactoryoperation.
Refertothe DailyCleaningProcedure, later
inthismanual.
C. Before servicingandmaintenance,allowthe
fryerto cool. ALWAYS shutoffthe gas to
thefryerwhileworkingonit,to prevent
burns.
D. Contact the factory (800-837-2638) for war-
rantyserviceauthorization. [Alwaysnotify
thefactory the next businessday about
‘after-hours’warranty service.] Contact
yourlocalrestaurantequipmentservice
agencyfor otherservice, repairs,ormainte-
nanceactivities,as necessary.
E. Whenbreaded food productsare being
cooked,ANETS recommends using the
special (optional)sedimenttray tocapture
anybreadingfragmentsthat becomeloosened
fromthe foodproduct. Periodicclearing of
thesedimenttray reducespremature
contaminationoftheliquidshorteningfrom
breading fragments.
CAUTION

FRYER PREPARATION FOR USE
“BOIL OUT” INSTRUCTIONS
New ANETS Fryers are leak-tested and cleaned
at the factory before shipping. Before using a
newly installed fryer for food preparation, clean the
kettle again, 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“ from the
top. Add 1 to 2 cups of soap powder,
washing soda (trisodium phosphate), 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.
7. Open the front door and mount the drain
extension to the drain ball valve. Position a
container (bucket) capable of holding VERY
HOT cleaning solution beneath the end of the
drain extension to hold the cleaning solution
being drained, as shown in Figure 5.
FRYER PREPARATION FOR USE
(Continued)
FRYER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (Continued)
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
crosswise) 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
thecleaning solution.
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 sputtering of hot
shortening when the kettle is later filled and
heated.
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.) Allow
the water to cool slightly.
!
WARNING
Hot cleaning solution can cause severe
burns. Take care when handling hot clean-
ingsolutionto avoid spillingorsplashing the
solution.
CAUTION
Forfryers with built-in filtersystems, DO NOT
pump the cleaning, or rinsing, solution through
the filter system, to avoid damaging the filter
system pump.

FRYER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (Continued)
Load the fryer basket with the
food product while the basket is
not in the hot liquid shortening.
DO NOT overload the fryer
basket. Load only a premeasured
quantity of food product (1½ lb,
typically; less, if smaller portions
are desired). Place the loaded
fryer basket into the hot liquid
shorteningcarefully to avoid
splashing.
When the basket of food product
has reached the desired point of
‘doneness’, lift the basket from
the hot shortening and hang the
basket on the basket hanger to
let it drain for approximately 15 -
30 seconds before serving.
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 break-
down.

PROBLEM CAUSE REMEDY
All service (repairs or part replacement) must be performed by a qualified Service Agency.
Pilot flame does not
staylighted. 1. Dirty/sooty pilot burner.
2. Low gas supply pressure [less than 6”
W.C. for natural gas; (11”W.C. for pro-
pane) when all other gas-powered equip-
ment is operating].
3. Pilot flame too small to heat the thermo-
couple.
4. Pilot flame ‘wavering’ (being blown about
by a draft).
5. Improper thermocouple output voltage
(must be at least 10 millivolts, measured at
the thermocouple junction block).
6. High-limit thermostat problem has shut off
the gas.
1. Clean the pilot burner. Perform
the Lighting Procedure.
2. Measure the gas supply pres-
sure.
Contact your local gas supplier
to obtain adequate gas supply
pressure.
3. Adjust the pilot valve (part of
the gas control valve) to in-
crease the flame size: Un-
screw and retain the slotted
threaded cover; turn the pilot
valve adjustment screw two
turns counterclockwise;
reinstall the threaded cover.
4. Block or redirect the draft, to
keep the flame burning steadily.
5. Replace the thermocouple.
6. Check for, and repair, any dam-
aged high-limit thermostat wir-
ing. [For model 14GSU fryer
ONLY: Press the reset push-
buttonon the high-limit thermo-
stat control. Perform the Light-
ing Procedure, to check wheth-
er the pilot flame lights. If the
pilot flame stays lit, the high-
limit thermostat has failed and
must be replaced. ]
Pilot(piezo-electric)
pushbuttonigniter,if
present, does not light
the pilot flame
1. Electrode of igniter out of position or
dirty/sooty electrode.
2. Loose spark wire; loose igniter nut.
3. Piezo-electric igniter does not generate a
spark.
1. Move electrode within 3/16”of
pilot burner tip. Clean the
electrode.
2. Check spark wire connection at
the igniter nut and make sure
the connection is tight.
3. Replace igniter mechanism
(portionwith pushbutton).

Pilot flame goes out
repeatedly. 1. Low gas supply pressure [less than 6” W.C. for natural gas; (11”W.C. for pro-
pane) when all other gas-powered kitchen
equipment is operating].
2. Loose thermocouple or high-limit thermo-
stat connection(s) on gas control valve.
3. Pilot flame does not continuously touch
the thermocouple because of excessive
air flow around the pilot burner assembly.
4. High-limit thermostat problem has shut off
the gas.
1. Measure the gas supply pres-
sure.
Contact your local gas supplier
to obtain adequate gas supply
pressure.
2. Check and tighten the connec-
tions.
3. Block the excessive air flow to
make the pilot flame contact
the thermocouple.
4. Check for, and repair, any dam-
aged high-limit thermostat wir-
ing. [For model 14GSU fryer
ONLY: Press the reset push-
buttonon the high-limit thermo-
stat control. Perform the Light-
ing Procedure, to check wheth-
er the pilot flame lights. If the
pilot flame stays lit, the high-
limit thermostat has failed and
must be replaced. ]

6. (Continued)
Formodel 14GS, MX-14EG,
and MX14-EGU fryers ONLY:
Test the high-limit thermostat
by disconnecting the thermo-
couple at the gas control valve.
Then, disconnect the red wires
to the high-limit thermostat
from the gas control valve.
Reconnect the thermocouple;
next, perform the Lighting Pro-
cedure, to check whether the
pilot flame lights. If the pilot
flamestays lit, the high-limit
thermostat has failed and must
be replaced.
7. Replace the gas control valve.

Main burners do not
ignite. 1. Gas control valve knob set to OFF or PILOT.
2. Low gas supply pressure [less than 6”
W.C. for natural gas; (11”W.C. for pro-
pane) when all other gas-powered kitchen
equipment is operating].
3. Pilot burner problem.
4. Thermostat control set below the tem-
perature of the liquid shortening in the
kettle.
5. Gas control valve has failed.
1. Perform the normal Lighting
Procedure. Turn the gas
control valveknob to ON to
light the main burners.
If the burners do not light, the
gas control valve has failed and
must be replaced.
2. Measure the gas supply pres-
sure.
Contact your local gas supplier
to obtain adequate gas supply
pressure.
3. Refer to the preceding Pilot
Burner problems and use the
correct remedy.
4. Increase the thermostat setting
until the burners light. If this
setting is greater than the de-
sired temperature, reset the
thermostat to the desired set-
ting and allow the shortening to
cool to the desired tempera-
ture.
5. Replace the gas control valve.
