FRYER PREPARATION FOR USE
“BOIL OUT” INSTRUCTIONS
New ANETSANETS
ANETSANETS
ANETS Fryers are cleaned and leak-tested
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 low sudsing soap
powder, washing soda (trisodium phos-
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)
before draining.
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
extension to hold the cleaning solution being
drained, as shown in Figure 5.

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
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 spattering of hot
shortening when the kettle is later filled and
heated.

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 per
basket, 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.

DAILY CLEANING PROCEDURE
NOTE: Cleaning is recommended atthe end of
aworkday,to prepare the fryer for proper opera-
tionthe nexttime itis tobe used.
DANGER
DONOTmovethefryerwhile it contains
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.
Whencleaning,ifrelocationof yourfryeris
necessary,disconnect thegassupplyline and
unplugthe electric powercable tothe fryer. Also,
ifyourfryeris caster-equipped, unlockthelocking

Pilot flame does not
staylighted.
PROBLEM CAUSE REMEDY
Pilot(piezo-electric)
pushbutton igniter 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).
All service (repairs or part replacement) must be performed by a qualified Service Agency.
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. Test the high-limit thermo-
stat by disconnecting the ther-
mocouple at the gas control
valve. Also, disconnect the red
wires to the high-limit thermo-
stat from the gas control valve.
Reconnect the thermocouple;
then, perform the Lighting Pro-
cedure, to check whether the
pilot flame lights. If the pilot
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 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.

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. Test the high-limit thermo-
stat by disconnecting the ther-
mocouple at the gas control
valve. Also, disconnect the red
wires to the high-limit thermo-
stat from the gas control valve.
Reconnect the thermocouple;
then, perform the Lighting Pro-
cedure, to check whether the

thermostat has failed and must
be replaced.
