Frequently Asked Questions - FFM-150 Anets

What is the oil capacity of the Anets FFM-150?

The FFM-150 has an oil capacity of 150 lb (68 kg) of cooking oil or shortening.

What type of filter paper should I use?

You must use only Anets filter paper envelopes specifically designed for this filter system. Using incorrect paper can damage the pump and void the warranty.

How do I replace the filter paper?

First, ensure the filter pan has cooled completely. Unplug the unit, disconnect the pump line, remove the filter cover and screen assembly. Detach the quick-connect coupling and knurled nut, remove the envelope clip and old envelope. Clean all parts with hot water and detergent, dry thoroughly, then install a new envelope following the preparation instructions.

Why is my pump not starting?

Check that the power cord is plugged into a 120V receptacle and the switch is ON. If still not starting, press the thermal overload reset button on the bottom of the motor. If the motor is hot, wait 15 minutes before retrying. If it hums but doesn't pump, there may be a blockage in the filter screen or pump.

How do I clean the filter system?

Disassemble the filter screen assembly and clean the filter pan, screen, and all components with a solution of hot water and detergent. Ensure all food and breading particles are removed. Dry completely before reassembly.

Can I use this filter with any fryer?

The FFM-150 is primarily designed for Anets fryers, but it can be used with other fryers as long as the drain pipe and return hose can be properly connected. Always ensure compatibility before use.

What are the electrical requirements?

The unit requires 120 Volts, 60 Hz, 8 Amps, 1-phase with a three-wire grounding connection. It must be plugged into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle.

How often should I replace the filter paper?

Replace the filter paper when it becomes torn or when the filtration time becomes excessively slow. Regular inspection after each use is recommended.

Is it safe to run water through the filter?

Never run water through the filter system. Water will cause rust and corrosion in the motor and pump and will void the warranty.

How do I dispose of used oil?

Follow the filtering instructions to drain the hot oil into the filter pan, then use the pump to direct the oil into an oil shuttle or appropriate disposal container. Always wear heat-resistant gloves.

FILTERING INSTRUCTIONS

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.

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.

DANGER

Never drain more than one fryer at a time – the filter pan will overflow.

1. 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.

WARNING

When cleaning the inside of the frypot, do not damage the temperature and hi-limit probes that protrude into the frypot.

1. 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.

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.

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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

DANGER

Never run water through the filter system. This will cause rust and corrosion in the motor and pump and will void the Warranty.

OIL DISPOSAL

WARNING

Always wear protective heat-resistant gloves when performing the oil disposal operation.

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.

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.

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

DANGER

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

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.

WARNING

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

1. 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.
2. Dry the pan, the screen and all components completely before starting to reassemble.
3. Follow instructions under FILTER UNIT PREPARATION to install new filter envelope.

FILTER SYSTEM TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

PROBLEM	SOLUTION
Pump does not start when the switch is activated.	1. Make sure the power cord is plugged into the proper 120 Volt receptacle2. 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.
Filtering procedure is very slow. Shortening/oil returning to the fryer very slow.	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.WARNINGOnly 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 warranty4. 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.
