*** - Measure Supply Pressure when all other gas-powered equipment is operating.

Gas Supply Inlet Pipe must be ¾” NPT (National Pipe Thread) standard gas line. The gas supply inlet
line should be as straight as possible (fewest bends or elbows) to obtain the highest available gas pressure at
the appliance. Locate this inlet line horizontally at the center of the desired fryer location, approximately
8¼” above the floor .

NOTE: Using a flexible inlet line permits variation in the gas supply line location, both horizontally and
vertically .

Anets fryers are only for use with the type of gas specified on the spec plate. If a fryer requires modification
to use a gas other than that which is identified on the fryer spec plate, contact your Anets representative or
call [phone].

Electrical Grounding Instructions

(See inside of door for wiring diagram.)
This appliance is equipped with a three­prong (grounding) plug for your protec­tion against shock hazard, and should
be plugged directly into a properly
grounded, three-prong receptacle. DO
NOT cut or remove the grounding prong
from this plug.

Figure 1 is the basic wiring diagram of an
MX-series fryer showing a typical circuit.
Some fryers may have other options that do
not appear in this basic wiring diagram. A
model-specific wiring diagram included with
each fryer shows all the actual parts and
their associated wiring connections. In
addition, fryers equipped with a built-in filter
system (Filtronic II or Filter Mate) and/or
built-in computer controls (Fri-tronic) have
a supplementary manual included for each
option.

CODE REQUIREMENTS

CODE REQUIREMENTSCODE REQUIREMENTS

IMPORTANT: Read the Code Requirements

and the Installation Requirements and Iinstruc­tions carefully, before starting the installation.
Contact the factory (800/ 837-2638) if any
problems or questions arise.

The fryer installation must conform with local
codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 (latest
edition); the Natural Gas Installation Code, CAN/
CGA-B149.1 (latest edition); or the Propane Gas
Installation Code, CAN/CGA-B149.2 (latest
edition), as applicable, including:

a. Disconnect the fryer and its individual shutoff

valve from the gas supply piping system during
any pressure testing of the gas supply system at
test pressures in excess of ½ psig (3.45 kPa).

b. Isolate the fryer from the gas supply piping

system during any pressure testing of the gas
supply system at test pressures equal to or less
than ½ psig (3.45 kPa).

c. For fryers utilizing floor casters, the fryer instal-

lation shall be made with a connector that
complies with the Standard for Connectors for
Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.69
(latest edition) or CAN/CGA 6.16 (latest
edition), and a quick-disconnect device that
complies with the Standard for Quick-Discon­nect Devices for Use with Gas Fuel, ANSI
Z21.41 or CAN/CGA 1-6.9 (latest edition).

d. Restrict the movement of a caster-equipped

fryer by using a limiting device (for example, a
cable attached

both to the fryer and to a fix-

ture attached to the site structure) to avoid
depending on the connector and the quick­disconnect device or its associated piping to
limit fryer movement.

e. Install this fryer on a non-combustible floor

with its back and sides at least 6” away from
any combustible wall, as shown in Figure 2.

WARNING

Install this fryer under a ventilation
hood that conducts combustion pro­ ducts outside the building. Venting
must comply with ANSI/NFP A 96
(latest edition).

f . Install this fryer in a location where adequate

combustion and ventilation air is available.
Keep the area directly in front of the fryer open
for adequate air flow to the burners. DO
NOT obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air.

g. Keep the fryer area free and clear from

combustibles and debris.

h. Attach a restraining device to each fryer, to

prevent the unit from tipping, which could
cause splashing of hot liquid .

From the top of the flue on
the fryer, allow a minimum
of at least 10 inches verti­cal clearance beneath a
ventilating hood.
