 - 
BTU/Hr Rating is based on sea level operation.  For sites above 2000 feet, reduce this 
rating 4% for each 1000 feet above sea level. 
“W.C. = Inches, Water Column. 
Measure Supply Pressure when all other gas-powered equipment is operating. 
 
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 you Anets 
representative or call 1-603-225-6684. 
 
 
SPEClFlCATlONS 
 
The ANETS Fryer Models 14GS, 14GSU, MX-14EG, and MX-14EGU require no exter-nal 
electric power source. 
 
 
Figure 1 is a wiring diagram of an 
ANETS 14GS Fryer.  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, a fryer equipped with a built-
in filter sys- tem (Filtronic II or Filter 
Mate) has a supplementary manual 
included for that option.

Gas Supply Inlet Pipe size 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 fryer.  Locate this 
inlet line horizontally at the center of the desired 
fryer location, 8¼“ above the floor.

							CODE REQUlREMENTS 
lMPORTANT: Read the Code Requirements 
and ALL installation instructions carefully, 
before starting the installation.  Contact the 
factory 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 comprise a connector that complies 
with the Standard for Connectors for Mov-
able 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 fixture 
attached to the site structure) to avoid depend-
ing on the connector and the quick-disconnect 
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. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
!WARNlNG 
Install this fryer under a ventilation 
hood that conducts combustion pro-
ducts outside the building.  Venting 
must comply with ANSI/NFPA 96 
(latest edition).  
						

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

lNSTALLATlON 
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 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”) where 
its only convenient movement is for-
ward, sufficient room must be avail-
able in front to permit its separation 
from adjacent appliances for cleaning 
and maintenance. 
3. Tightly fasten the legs (or casters) to the bot-

tom 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 Installation Instructions for leg 
o
rcasterattachment and leveling information.
!CAUTlON: Hood make-up air
MUST NOT flow in a manner that
restricts or impedes the natural flow
of combustion or ventilation air. 
4. Confirm that the air from the ventilation hood 
flowing near the fryer after installation is NOT 
blowing on the rear of the fryer, to prevent 
affecting the burner flames and possibly causing
co
ntroldamage.

the structure wall directly behind the fryer’s 
desired location, as shown in Figure 2. 
2.  Install one restraining device connector on the 
rear panel of the fryer very close to the quick-
disconnect device on the end of the fryer’s gas 
line.
 
3
.  Attach one end of the restraining cable to the 
wall connector.  Attach the other end to the 
fryer connector. 
4.  Confirm that the fryer cannot move far enough 
away from the wall to cause excessive move-
ment of the flexible gas line or its associated 
connectors.

8.  Tighten all four locking nuts evenly and 
securely against the caster mounting plate and
the fryer bottom mounting bracket. 
9.  Return the fryer to its desired location and 
check again for wobbling or rocking. 
Repeat steps 3 through 8 until no wobbl-
ing or rocking occurs.  When the fryer no 
longer wobbles or rocks, perform step 10. 
10. Next, perform the  “Fryer Restraining 
Device Installation Instructions.
” 
!WARNlNG 
Fryers MUST have a movement-
limiting (restraining cable) device 
installed to prevent tipping that 
causes splashing or spilling of its 
HOT contents. 
NOTE: This movement-limitin
g
device is to be furnished and
installed by the fryer’s install-
ing contractor before the fryer
is connected to the gas line at its
desi
red location.  
						

							GAS CONNECTlON 
Installing your ANETS  Fryer requires the fol-
lowing procedure, after its legs or casters are pro-
perly attached and  it is in its desired location. 
1.  Ensure that the gas control valve knob 
in the fryer has its OFF position next to the 
valve mark. 
2.  Ensure that the gas supply inlet line valve is 
closed (cross-wise to the pipe line direction). 
3.  Ensure that all fryer controls are set to OFF. 
4. Connect the ¾” gas supply line to the gas line 
adapter on the lower rear of the fryer.
