FRYER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 
Normal operation of an 
ANETS
 Fryer requires that the kettle is filled with liquid shortening to above the lower indent 
level marked on the rear of the kettle, before lighting the fryer’s main burners. 
CAUTION:
 Shortening MUST be in liquid form to avoid scorching or discoloration and possible damage to the kettle. 
Damage caused by melting solid shortening will 
NOT
 be covered by the warranty.
FRYER PREPARATION FOR USE 
“BOIL OUT” INSTRUCTIONS 
Before using the newly installed fryer for food pre-
paration, clean the rust preventive material from the kettle: 
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 of rust 
preventive material. 
2.  Close the drain ball valve (turn the valve handle 
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 dissolve 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 Shutdown Procedure later in 
this manual. Allow the water to cool slightly. 
7.  Open the front door and mount the drain extension 
to the drain ball valve. Position a container (bucket) 
capable of holding VERY HOT cleaning solution beneath 
the end of the drain extension to hold the cleaning 
solution being drained, as shown in Figure 5.

.  Open the drain ball valve SLOWLY, to avoid 
splashes while draining the cleaning solution 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 the cleaning 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 remaining 
water can cause spattering of hot shortening when the 
kettle is later filled and heated.
