. Carefully examine the shippi ng container for external damage. When damage is noted, notify the

delivery carrier immediately . Save all packing materials for damage claim examination.

2

. If no external damage is noted, remove the shipping container from the fryer and examine the fryer
carefully for damage. Place the fryer in a safe location, if damage is noted, so that the freight damage
claims adjuster can examine the fryer .

3

. Save the shipping container for use during leg/ caste r installation. Refer to the Installation Instructions
for that procedure.

Gas Supply Inlet Pipe must be ¾” NPT (Na tional 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 suppl y 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

FRYER ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS

WA

G

Please make sure that your desired fryer location has electrical
supply factors that are suitable for this product:

120 Volts, 60 Hz, (Refer to T able 1 for amperage requirements), 1-phase, three-wire connection, including
an electrical ground, via a dedicated circuit breaker. A model-specific electrical circuit diagram is
mounted inside the front door of each fryer .

Install a dedicated, three-prong, outlet/ receptacle
within 5 feet of the desired fryer location to allow
the fryer’s power cable to be connected. Ensure
that the green (ground) wire of the fryer’s power
cable is attached to the fryer’s structure, providing
an electrical ground in accordance with applicable
local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with
the National Electrical Code, ANSI/N FP A 70
(latest edition) or the Canadian Electrical Code,
CSA C22.1 (latest edition) and CSA C22.2 (latest
edition).

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 d iagram 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.

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 exam ple, a
cable attached both to the fryer and to a fix­ture attached to the site structure) to avoid
depending on the connector and the quick­disconnect device or its associated piping to
limit fryer movement.

e

. Inst all th is fr yer on a non-combustible floor

with its back and sides at least 6” away from
anycombust

lewall, as shown in Figure2.

ARNIN

Install this fryer under a ventilation
hood that conducts combustion pro­ducts outside the building. V enting
must comply with ANSI/NFPA 96
(latest edition).

f . Install this fryer in a loca tion 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.

REQUIREMENTS

Install the fryer in accordance with the preceding
Code Requirements, as well as the following
Installation Requirements.

1.

DO NOT install this fryer in a mobile home,
trailer, or recreational vehicle.

2.

Install this fryer in a location that has the f ryer’s
electrical receptacle nearby (5 feet or less
away) to avoid straining the fryer’ s power
cord

. (See Figure 2.)

3.

Install this fryer in a location that allows it to be
moved away from other adjacent appliances
for cleaning and maintenance.

NOTE: If the fryer is installed among
a row of appliances (“banked”), with
its only convenient m ovement forward,
sufficient room must be available in
front of the fryer to permit its separa­tion from adjacent appliances for
cleaning and maintenance.

4.

Tightly fasten the legs (or casters) to the bot­tom of the fryer using the supplied hardware, to
prevent the fryer from tipping, wobbling or
rocking when it is in its desired location. Refer
to the following Leg Installation Instructions
or Caster Installation Instructions for leg
or caster attachment and leveling information.

CAUTION:

!

MUST NOT flow in a manner tha
restricts or impedes the natural flo
of combustion or ventilation air .

5.

Confirm that the air fr om the ventilation hood
flowing near the fryer after installation is NOT
blowing on the rear of the unit, to prevent
affecting the burner flames and possibly causing
damage to plastic parts.
