SHIPPING CONT AINER INSPECTION 
1.  Carefully examine the shipping 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 filter and examine the unit 
carefully for damage.  Place the filter in a safe location, if damage is noted, so that the freight 
damage claims adjuster can examine it.

1. Before filtering the shortening in a fryer turn the thermostat knob to “OFF” or the Gas valve 
 
to “PILOT” to prevent the fryer from re-lighting during filtering.  On some models the system 
automatically prevents the burners from lighting when the door of the fryer is open.
 
2.  Roll filter under drain pipe extension on the fryer and slowly open drain valve handle, letting all the 
shortening drain into the filter tank.  Leave this valve open. 
! 
Never drain more than one fryer at a time – the filter pan will overflow 
 
3.  Hold hose assembly nozzle over the fryer kettle, turn on the pump switch and flush sediment out of 
the fryer.  While the system is cycling, use a long-handled cleaning brush to wipe the bottom of the 
fryer and push excess crumbs through the drain and into the filter.
 
 
 
 
 
 
4. Allow the pump to run until the shortening returning into the fryer is clear of sediment, then close drain 
valve handle and allow the fryer to refill. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
5. If filter powder is being used, add 1 cup of powder (for 14” fryers) or 2 cups (for 18” fryers) to 
either the fry tank or the filter tank. If added to fry tank, make sure powder is completely flushed 
during fry tank cleaning (Step 3) before closing drain valve (Step 4). If added to filter tank, the 
powder will be removed when the filter envelope is changed and the filter tank is cleaned.

CAUTION 
Never operate the filter unit unless the cooking oil or shortening in the 
fryers has been brought up to cooking temperature. 
WARNING 
Always wear protective heat-resistant gloves when performing the filtering operation

.
WARNING 
When cleaning the inside of the frypot, do not damage the temperature and 
hi-limit probes that protrude into the frypot. 
WARNING 
If solid shortening is being used it is very important that all oil is allowed to flow back into 
the vat and none is left in the hoses. Failure to do so could cause the pump to fail if the 
oil solidifies in the line.

							6. On gas-operated thermostat models (such as Anets 14G, 14GS, MXEG, 18EG, 20EG) the thermostat 
knob can now be turned back to the desired temperature.  CAUTION: On these models the thermostat 
must be set to “OFF” or the Gas 
Valve to “PILOT” before filtering or the burners MAY come back on if 
the doors are closed during filtering. 
7. On electric-operated thermostat models (such as Anets MX-14E, MX-14EX, MX-14AA, 18E, 18AA, 
20E, 14EL-14 and 14EL-17) the power switch on the control panel must be reset for the fryer to 
operate again. 
 
IMPORTANT NOTE: 
The pump on this filter unit is equipped with a safety that will turn off the motor if it overheats or an 
electrical fault occurs.  If this occurs, let the pump motor cool for 15 minutes, then press the manual 
reset button on the bottom of the motor and restart the motor 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
OIL DISPOSAL 
 
. 
 
 
If the cooking oil or shortening from a fryer is to be disposed, follow steps 1 and 2 from Filtering 
Instructions in previous section.  Turn on the pump using the switch on the filter and direct the oil into 
an appropriate device such as an oil shuttle to move the used oil to its disposal tank.

DANGER 
Never run water through the filter system. This will cause rust and corrosion in the 
motor and pump and will void the Warranty. 
WARNING 
Always wear protective heat-resistant gloves when performing the oil disposal operation

							REPLACING THE FIL TER P APER 
If the filter paper becomes torn, or if the time to filter the oil from one unit becomes excessive, it is time to 
replace the Filter Envelope. 
WARNING 
Only use filter paper envelopes from Anets that have been specifically designed for 
this filter system
. Using the wrong type of filter paper can cause damage to the pump 
system, and will void the Warranty 
 
 
 
 
 
 
1.  Unplug the cord from the receptacle. 
2.  Disconnect the line from the pump to the filter screen. 
3.  Remove the filter cover 
4.  Remove the filter screen assembly from the filter pan and place on a clean surface for disassembly 
5. Detach quick-connect coupling on drain tube from knurled retaining nut. 
6. Detach knurled retaining nut from fitting in screen. 
7.  Remove filter envelope clip from end of filter screen and folded back end of envelope. 
8.  Remove filter envelope from filter screen. 
 
 
 
 
9. Clean the filter pan, filter screen and all components thoroughly using a solution of hot water and 
detergent.  Make sure that all food and breading particles are removed from the pan and from the filter 
screen. 
10.  Dry the pan, the screen and all components completely before starting to reassemble.

Make sure the filter pan has cooled completely to room temperature before 
attempting to change the paper.

WARNING 
The oil soaked filter envelope may still be very hot and could cause burns.

							FILTER SY STEM  TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE 
SOLUTION 
1.  Make sure the power cord is plugged into the proper 120 Volt receptacle.  
2.  Turn the switch on the front of the filter to “ON”. 
3.  If the pump still hasn’t started, depress the thermal overload button on the 
bottom of the motor.  If the motor is hot to the touch, wait at least 15 minutes 
before trying this. 
4.  If the pump starts and stops again in a short time, or if it hums but does not 
pump, there is a restriction somewhere in the filter screen or in the pump itself. 
Go 
to Step 5
. If there is no reaction from the pump, go to step 6. 
5.  Allow the oil/shortening in the filter pan to cool, then empty the pan and verify 
that the filter paper and screen assembly is assembled correctly .  Disassemble the 
filter screen and look for blockages of sediment or solid shortening within. 
6.  Problem is with the motor/pump or the wiring. Remove the motor from the 
filter and bench test by connecting a 120V line to the motor leads.  If it runs, the 
problem is with the wiring between the motor and the power supply.  If it does not 
run, the motor needs to be replaced. 
 
 
1.  If solid shortening is being used allow HOT oil to recirculate through the lines long 
enough to ensure that all solidified shortening has melted. 
2.  After all the shortening/oil has been pumped back into the fryer, inspect the 
filter paper envelope.  Make sure that any excess sediment is removed from the top of 
the filter paper envelope. 
3.  If the filter paper envelope is dirty or torn, disassemble the filter screen assembly. 
Inspect for blockages in the lines.  Replace with a clean filter paper envelope. 
WARNING 
Only use filter paper envelopes from Anets that have been specifically 
designed for this filter system.  Using the wrong type of filter paper 
can cause damage to the pump system, and will void the warranty 
 
4. 
If the oil still returns to the fryer slowly the problem may be a blockage 
within
 the pump itself.  The pump section of the motor can be easily 
disassembled to look for blockages of sediment or solid shortening within.
