    FILTERING INSTRUCTIONS 
     
     
    WARNING 
     
     
    FILTERING 
    1. Before filtering the shortening in a fryer, turn the thermostat knob to “OFF” or the Gas Valve to “PI- 
    LOT” 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. Open the drain valve (black handle) on the fryer to be filtered, 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 may overflow. 
    3. Open the return line valve (yellow handle) for the fryer being filtered.  This activates the power to the 
    pump.  If the pump does not start immediately check that the switch on the side or top of the pump 
    frame is “ON”.  While the filter 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 machine. 
     
     
     
     
     
    4. When the shortening returning into the fryer is clear, close the drain valve (black handle) and allow the 
    fryer to refill. 
    5. Allow the pump to run until no more oil is returning into the vat. Then close the return line valve 
    (yellow handle), which de-activates the power to the pump. 
     
     
     
     
     
    CAUTION 
    Never operate the filter unit unless the cooking oil or shortening in the 
    fryers has been brought up to cooking temperature. 
     
    Always wear protective heat-resistant gloves when performing the filtering operation.
    DANGER 
    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 L20-386 R1 
     
    Note On Using Filter Powder 
    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. 
     
    6. On gas-operated thermostat models (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 (MX-14E, MX-14AA, 18E, 18AA, 20E, and 14EL-17) the 
    power switch on the control panel must be reset for the fryer to operate again. 
    8. The other fryers in the bank can be filtered using the same procedure. 
    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  
    Instruc
    tions in previous section.  Disconnect the line from the pump to the fryer return line, and connect 
    the optional hose assembly to the pump.  Turn on the pump using the manual switch on the side or top of 
    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 Warrranty. 
    WARNING 
    Always wear protective heat-resistant gloves when performing the oil disposal operation. 
    						
    							7 L20-386 R1 
     
    REPLACING THE FILTER PAPER 
    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. 
     
     
     
     
    1.  Disconnect the oil return line from the pump. 
    2.  Unplug the cord from the receptacle on the side of the cabinet. 
    3.  Pull the filter unit from the cabinet. 
    4. Disconnect the line from the pump to the filter screen. 
    5.  On the Filtronic II models, pivot the motor assembly up out of the way. 
    6.  Remove the filter cover. Use lift out handle to remove screen assembly. Place on a clean surface for 
    disassembly. 
    7.  Detach quick-connect coupling on drain tube from knurled retaining nut. 
    8. Detach knurled retaining nut from fitting in screen. 
    9.  Remove filter envelope clip from end of filter screen and folded back end of envelope . 
    10.  Remove filter envelope from filter screen. 
     
     
     
     
    11. 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.
     
    12.  Dry the pan, the screen and all components completely before starting to reassemble. 
    13.  Follow instructions under FILTER UNIT PREPARATION to install new filter envelope.
    ! DANGER ! 
    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.

     SYSTEM TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE 
    SOLUTION 
    1.  Make sure the power cord is plugged into the receptacle in the cabinet and the 
    main power cord from the system is plugged into the appropriate power supply. 
    2.  Turn the switch on the side of the filter to “ON”. 
    3.  Close the return line valve (yellow handle) and try opening the return line valve 
    on another fryer.  If the pump starts, the problem is with the micro switch that 
    contacts the return line valve on the first fryer. 
    4.  If 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 45 minutes before trying 
    this. 
    5.  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 6. If there is no reaction from the pump, go to step 7. 
    6.  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. 
    7.  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.  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. 
    2.  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. 
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    3.  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. 
     
     
    1.  Make sure the door on the fryer is completely closed. 
    2.  Reset the ON/OFF switch on the fryer by flipping to OFF position and 
    then back to ON.  (Note:  Each time the fryer door is opened the ON/OFF 
    switch needs to be reset. 
     
    FILTER 
    PROBLEM 
    Pump does not 
    start when the 
    return line valve 
    (yellow handle) on 
    the fryer is opened. 
    Filtering procedure is 
    very slow.  Shorten-
    ing/oil returning to the 
    fryer very slow. 
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    Fryers do not re-fire 
    after filtering. 
    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.
