FRYER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

!

CAUTION

DO NOT operate this fryer during a power outage or interruption of gas service. Turn all fryer controls to OFF, including the gas control valve knob, then close the gas supply line valve. Also, switch off the circuit breaker controlling electric power to the fryer. When notified that the power out- age has ended, perform the Lighting Procedure (later in this manual).

!

DANGER

NEVER operate this fryer when its flue is blocked or when the ventilation hood is not on because the combustion products can accumulate and cause serious injury or death.

! DANGER

Avoid moving the fryer while it contains HOT shortening. Drain the shortening from the fryer before moving it for service, clean- ing, or maintenance to avoid spilling or splashing. Burns from hot shortening can cause serious injury or death.

A.An ANETS MX-14E or MX-14AA Fryer is designed for operation with a kettle filled with approximately 35 to 50 pounds of liquid shortening. (This is approximately 3½ to 6 gallons.)

Each kettle of an ANETS MX-14-2AA, MX-14-2E, MX-7A, or MX-7E Fryer is designed for operation with approximately 25 pounds of liquid shortening. (This is approxi- mately 2½ to 3 gallons.)

! CAUTION: Unless this fryer is equipped with the controls permit- ting the melting of shortening*, DO NOT melt solid shortening in this fryer because the melting can damage the kettle, which will void the fryer warranty.

*Fryers that are shipped with multi- product cooking computers (Fri- tronic ) have an automatic ‘Melt’

selection to liquefy solid shortening.

Shortening must be melted into the liquid state before it can be used in an ANETS Fryer,

unless the fryer has an automated ‘melt’ selection available on its control panel.

B.Schedule regular cleanings of the fryer to ensure long-term satisfactory operation. Refer to the Daily Cleaning Procedure, later in this manual.

C.Before servicing and maintenance, allow the fryer to cool. ALWAYS shut off electricity and gas to the fryer while working on it, to prevent electric shocks or burns.

D.Contact the factory (800-837-2638) for war- ranty service authorization. [Always notify the factory the next business day about ‘after-hours’ warranty service.] Contact your local restaurant equipment service agency for other service, repairs, or mainte- nance activities, as necessary.

E.When breaded food products are being cooked, ANETS recommends using the special (optional) sediment tray to capture any breading fragments that become loosened from the food product. Periodic clearing of the sediment tray reduces premature contami- nation of the liquid shortening from breading fragments.
