INSTALLATION

CHECKING YOUR NEW ANETS APPLIANCE

Your new Anets appliance has been carefully packed into one crate. Every effort has been made to ensure that
it is delivered to y ou in perfect condition. As you unpack your new appliance, inspect each of the pieces for
damage. If something is damaged, DO NOT sign the bill of lading. Contact the shipper immediately; the shipper
is only responsible for 15 days after delivery. Check the packing list enclosed with your appliance to ensure that
you have received all the parts to the appliance. If you are missing any parts, contact the dealer from whom the
appliance was purchased. As you unpack the appliance and its accessories be careful to keep the weight of the
appliance evenly distributed.

Locate your Anets model number, serial number of the appliance and the date of purchase and write them on
the cover of this manual for future reference. You will find the model number and serial number on the data plate
located inside the door.

CAUTION

To prevent equipment damage and/or person al injury, do not tilt the appliance onto any

two of its casters or legs, or pull the appliance by the splash back.

ASSEMBLY

When you receive your appliance it is completely assembled with the possible exception of the legs (or casters).

Leg/Caster Install ati on and Leveling

This appliance must be installed with legs or casters; it can
not be curb mounted. Curb mounting may seriously inhibit
this appliance’s ability to operate properly.

WARNING

This appliance must be installed with the legs or
casters provided by the manufacturer.

WARNING

Do not install legs or casters, or perform leveling procedure when unit is in operation or

fry tank is full. Serious injury could result.

Required tools: 7/16 “ wrench and socket and a large pair of pliers (water pump or plumber’s pliers work best). If
the appliance is equipped with electrical controls or options the legs/casters must be installed before connecting
the appliance to the electrical supply. The legs provide the necessary height to meet sanitation requirements
and assure adequate air supply for component cooling. Use the following procedure:

a. Lay the appliance on its back, being careful not to damage the splashback area by pulling on it.

Protect the outside of the appliance with cardboard or a drop cloth when laying it down.

b. Attach each leg/caster with the hex head screws and nuts supplied. Each leg/caster requires

four ¼-20 x 5/8” hex head screws and nuts. Insure that all screws are tight.

c. Mount the screws from the inside of the appliance with the nut on the outside (bottom) of the

appliance. The nuts have lock washers attached to them, therefore it is not necessary to use
lock washers.

d. When all four legs/casters are securely mounted, stand the unit up, being careful not to put too

much weight on any one leg. Adjust the height and level the appliance by adjusting the leveling
devices (B) with pliers. On casters, loosen 2 screws (A) before leveling, then retighten.
