Preface

The 616B and 616BT donut fryers have been
designed and built using the finest materials and
components available. It is the result of years of
research and development. Designed into this
unit are many features which will insure more
quality in your products and reduce your
operating cost. Attention to the instructions
regarding installation, operation, and
maintenance should result in years of trouble-free
service.

The operator must work safely at all times and
read this manual and follow its instructions and
warnings. A thorough understanding of how to
install, maintain, and safely operate the fryer will
prevent production delays and injuries.

Heed the following warnings and all other
warnings that appear in this manual:

• To avoid damaging the machine, never

use force to assemble, disassemble,
operate, clean, or maintain it.

• Hot shortening can cause serious burns.

Make sure that the system and the
shortening are cool before attempting
any cleaning, adjustment, disassembly,
or repair.

• To avoid electrocution or other injury,

unplug the machine before attempting
any cleaning, adjustment, disassembly,
or repair.

• Be careful never to get shortening, water,

or other materials on the floor. If
anything does get spilled on the floor,
mop it up immediately. Materials on the
floor can cause people to slip or fall,
resulting in serious injury or loss of life.

• To prevent unintentional startup and

possible fire, unplug the machine if there
is a local power outage. When the power
is restored, it is safe to plug the machine
in again.

• Never let water and hot shortening come

in contact with each other. Moisture
causes hot shortening to spatter, which
may cause serious burns.

• Do not overfill the kettle with

shortening. If shortening overflows the
kettle, it could cause serious burns or
could cause someone to slip on the floor
and be seriously injured.

• To avoid electrocution, make sure that

all electrical cords are not frayed or
cracked and that they do not pass
through any water or shortening.

• Make sure that all electrical cords are

routed so that no one will trip over them.

1 Operation

Read each step completely before doing what it
tells you to do.

1. Put enough shortening in the kettle to
completely cover the heating elements,
thermocouple, and high-temperature limit
control probe.

Put shortening in the kettle using one of

these methods:

WARNING

Hot shortening causes severe burns.

• Melt shortening in a pan on the stove and

pour it into the kettle.

• Put solid shortening into the kettle,

packing it tightly around the heating
elements, thermocouple, and high­temperature limit control probe.

• Melt shortening in a pan on the stove and

pour it into the kettle.

• Very carefully put solid shortening into

the kettle.

WARNING

To avoid serious burns, be very careful not

to splatter hot shortening when you add

shortening to the kettle.

Because shortening expands as it increases

in temperature, put shortening in the kettle
gradually. Let the shortening in the kettle
heat up before you add more.

5. After all of the shortening has melted, set the
thermostat to the desired frying temperature.

The “Heating” pilot light will go out if the
high temperature limit control breaks the
circuit.

WARNING

Air spaces can cause the shortening to

overheat and catch on fire.

2. Turn on the unit by turning the thermostat
clockwise 1/16 turn. When the unit is turned
on, the power light located next to the
thermostat knob will be lit.

3. Set the thermostat to 250°F/121°C. The
“Heating” pilot light above the elements will
light up, indicating that the shortening has
not yet reached the selected temperature.

4. Continue adding shortening to the kettle

until it reaches the “Oil Level” marks on the
kettle. Use one of the following methods.

Belshaw Adamatic Bakery Group • [e-mail] • 800-578-2547 • ([phone]

616B OM MN-1137EN 5

Note: If the high temperature limit control
does break the circuit, push the red reset
button on the back of the heater head.

6. Wait for the shortening to reach the desired
temperature.

WARNING

To avoid serious burns, when the fryer is

operating, do not touch any part of the

fryer that is in contact with hot shortening.

7. If you are frying cake or French donuts,
move the cutter into place over the fryer.
Refer to the cutter manual (Type N cutter)

for complete installation and operation
instructions.

To fry yeast-raised donuts, place donuts on

the fry screen and slowly lower the screen
into the fryer. With the donut stick, turn the
donuts over to fry the top side. Remove the
fry screen and donuts when the donuts are
completely fried by lifting up the fry screen
with the donuts on top of it. Immediately
place on or over a tray to catch dripping
shortening.

WARNING

Hot shortening will drip off the fry screens,

causing a slip hazard. To avoid serious

injury or loss of life, be very careful and

immediately clean up any drips.

Frying Tips

1. Use a high quality hydrogenated shortening.

2. Store your supply of cooking shortening at

room temperature.

3. To prolong the life of the shortening, do not

keep shortening at high temperature if the
fryer is not being used.

4. Drain and strain shortening periodically.

Several layers of cheesecloth will do a good
job of filtering.

5. Keep the fryer and screens clean.

6. Maintain shortening at the proper level in the

fryer. Add fresh shortening to keep the level
at the “Oil Level” marks stamped on the
kettle sides.

7. Add at least 15% fresh shortening to your

kettle daily.

WARNING

To avoid serious burns, be careful of hot

shortening dripping from the fry screens.

Do not touch hot shortening and

immediately clean up spills and drips.

8. Continue supplying shortening to the kettle
as required. Keep the kettle filled up to the
“Oil Level” marks on the side.

9. When you are done frying donuts, move the
thermostat knob counter-clockwise as far as
it will go.

8. Discard shortening as soon as it tends to

bubble or foam during frying.

9. At least once a day, cool a small sample of

shortening from the fryer and taste it to see if
it has picked up a foreign or rancid taste.

2 Cleaning

For your safety, observe the following warnings
throughout the entire cleaning process.

WARNING

Thoroughly clean and dry the floor if

shortening, water, or other materials are

spilled. Materials spilled on the floor can

cause serious injury or loss of life.

WARNING

To avoid electrocuting yourself or

damaging the machine, never allow water,

steam, shortening, cleaning solution, or any

other liquid to enter the electrical box or

the heater head.

WARNING

To avoid being burned in an explosion,

never use any flammable materials for

cleaning.

Cleaning the Frying Screen

1. In a sink or a dishwasher, wash the frying
screen using warm water and mild detergent.
Do not use an abrasive cleaner or scraper.

2. Rinse the frying screen in clear water.

3. Dry the frying screen thoroughly, using a
soft cloth, before you use it again.

WARNING

Dry the frying screen thoroughly.

Moisture causes hot shortening to spatter,

which may cause serious injury.

4. Check the frying screen to make sure no
metal is flaking off of it. If the screen is
flaking, replace it immediately, so you do
not get metal particles in your product.

Cleaning the Kettle

Removing the Shortening

WARNING

Cleaning the Exterior
Surfaces

1. Clean the polished and painted surfaces of
the fryer with a soft, damp cloth. Use a non­abrasive cleaner to remove any
discoloration.

2. Polish these surfaces with a soft, dry cloth.

Belshaw Adamatic Bakery Group • [e-mail] • 800-578-2547 • ([phone]

616B OM MN-1137EN 7

To avoid being burned or electrocuted,

disconnect the fryer from the power source

before cleaning it.

1. Disconnect the machine from the power

source.

2. Let the shortening cool to 100°F/38°C.

3. Carefully dip out the shortening into a

suitable container. Do not disturb the
accumulated sediment in the bottom of the
kettle.

WARNING

Do not use a plastic container. If the

shortening is not cool enough, the container

will melt, possibly causing you to be

burned, and causing shortening spill.

WARNING

Do not allow the shortening to overflow the

containers. Shortening will get on the

floor, and if the shortening is not cool

enough, you may be burned.

4. After the kettle has been drained, brush any

accumulated carbon from the heater coils.
Accumulated carbon causes corrosion and
poor heat recovery.

5. Remove the drain tray.

WARNING

Thoroughly clean and dry the floor if

shortening is spilled. Shortening on the

floor can cause serious injury or loss of life.

6. Remove the heater head and element.

To avoid being burned, be very careful as

you work with hot cleaning solution. Never

put your hands in the solution. Wear

gloves and long sleeves in case any solution

splashes.

3. Dry the kettle thoroughly with a soft cloth

before replacing in the fryer cabinet.

WARNING

Dry the kettle thoroughly. Moisture causes

hot shortening to spatter or erupt.

Shortening may spatter or overflow the

sides of the fryer may result in fire, serious

injury, or death.

4. Make sure the kettle is properly seated in the

case.

5. Install the heater head.

3 Donut-Making Helps

Tips on Making Quality
Cake Donuts

• Use the correct batter temperature.

In general, the correct batter temperature is

75°-80°F/24°-27°C. Check the mix
manufacturer’s instructions, as the
recommended temperature range may vary.

If the batter is too warm, the donuts will lack

volume and may “ring out” or be misshapen.
If the batter is too cold, the donuts will stay
under the shortening too long, fry too slowly,
and crack open or ball up. They may also
absorb excess shortening and lose volume.

• Use the correct floor time.

A floor time of 10 minutes between mixing

and cutting allows the baking powder to
react with the water. This helps the donuts
attain the proper volume the proper level of
shortening penetration.

If the floor time exceeds 30 minutes, the mix

will gas off, the donuts will lose volume and
shape and will absorb too much shortening.

• Use the correct frying temperature.

The correct shortening temperature for

frying is 370°-380°F/188°-193°C.

If the shortening is too hot, the donuts will

fry too quickly on the outside and will lose
volume. The donuts may also become dense
inside.

If the shortening is too cold, the donuts will
spread too rapidly, will form large rings, will
tend to crack open, will be too light in
appearance, and will absorb too much
shortening.

• Maintain the proper shortening level. We

recommend a distance of 1 1/4” between the
cutter and the shortening.

If the shortening is too deep, the donuts may

not turn over when they reach the turner,
causing them to cook unevenly.

If the shortening is too shallow (too far

below the cutter), the donuts may not drop
flat, may turn over while submerging and
surfacing, and may become irregular,
cracked, or rough-crusted.

• Ensure that the donuts absorb the right

amount of shortening.

Donuts should absorb 1-1/2 to 3 oz/42 to 85

g of shortening per dozen, depending on
their weight. You can achieve proper
absorption by following tips 1-3.

• If the donuts do not absorb enough

shortening, they will not keep well.

If they absorb too much shortening, they will

lose volume and may become misshapen. If
this happens, follow tips 1-3, mix the batter
a little longer than usual, turn the donuts as
soon as they become golden brown, and turn
the donuts only once.

Calculating Correct Water
Temperature

The following is an example of how to calculate
the correct water temperature to use. You must

Cake Donuts Yeast-Raised Donuts

use your own room temperature, dry mix
temperature, desired batter temperature, and, if
you are making yeast-raised donuts, estimated
temperature increase during mixing.

Ratios of Plunger Sizes to
Donut Weights

The weights given are for donuts without icings
or other toppings. They are provided for
reference only, as weights vary according to the
density of the batter.

Plunger Size Donut Weight per

Dozen

Temperature Conversion

To convert temperatures from Fahrenheit to
Celsius, subtract 32 from °F and divide the result
by 1.8. For example, 212°F-32/1.8 = 100°C.

To convert temperatures from Celsius to
Fahrenheit, multiply °C by 1.8 and add 32 to the
result. For example, (100°C x 1.8) + 32 = 212°F.

3. Carefully dip out the shortening into a

suitable container. Do not disturb the
accumulated sediment in the bottom of the
kettle.

WARNING

Do not use a plastic container. If the

shortening is not cool enough, the container

will melt, possibly causing you to be

burned, and causing shortening spill.

WARNING

Do not allow the shortening to overflow the

containers. Shortening will get on the

floor, and if the shortening is not cool

enough, you may be burned.

4. After the kettle has been drained, brush any

accumulated carbon from the heater coils.
Accumulated carbon causes corrosion and
poor heat recovery.

5. Remove the drain tray.

WARNING

Washing

1. Wash the kettle carefully with detergent to

remove all stains and burned shortening.

2. Scrub the inside of the kettle. Do not use

any abrasive cleaners or scrapers.

WARNING

To avoid being burned, be very careful as

you work with hot cleaning solution. Never

put your hands in the solution. Wear

gloves and long sleeves in case any solution

splashes.

3. Dry the kettle thoroughly with a soft cloth

before replacing in the fryer cabinet.

WARNING

Dry the kettle thoroughly. Moisture causes

hot shortening to spatter, which may cause

serious injury.

Thoroughly clean and dry the floor if

shortening is spilled. Shortening on the

floor can cause serious injury or loss of life.

6. Remove the heater head and element.

7. Lift out the kettle and pour out the remaining

shortening and accumulated sediment.

8. Flush out the kettle with hot water to remove

all sediment.

4. Make sure the kettle is properly seated in the

case.

5. Install the heater head.

3 Calibrating The Fryer

Calibration of 618-0006
Temperature Indicator

To check calibration, use the
following steps.

1. Turn the dial of the thermostat to a medium

temperature setting of approximately 350° F.

2. Allow enough time for the temperature to

stabilize and the thermostat to cycle ON and
OFF.

3. Use a potentiometer or a good grade of

thermometer to determine temperature.

To Recalibrate:

1. Remove the ring (A) and glass crystal.

2. Insert a screwdriver in slot B, and while

holding the slotted stem in position, move the
temperature indicating needle (C) to the
correct setting with your finger.

3. Check the temperature of the frying area

again and check this against the indicator
temperature reading.

To check calibration:

1. Important: Make sure that the fryer is filled

with shortening. Read the warnings on the
control panel about high temperatures.

2. Use a good thermometer that reads

temperatures up to 400°F/204°C. Place the
thermometer in the shortening.

3. Set the fryer temperature to 375°F/190°C.

Allow enough time for the temperature to
stabilize.

4. During a 10 minute test period, the

temperature should not fall below
365°F/185°C, or exceed 385°F/196°C.

To Recalibrate:

1. Remove temperature dial from shaft B by

pulling upward.

2. Using a small screwdriver, turn screw A as

follows:

• Counter clockwise to increase

temperature

• Clockwise to decrease temperature

3. Replace the control dial on the dial shaft

4. Re-install the ring (A) and glass crystal.

4. Recheck the calibration and continue

adjusting as necessary.

Calibrating the Thermostat

Each thermostat is adjusted at the factory and
calibrated on precision instruments to control
temperatures accurately. Adjustment or
recalibration is not needed unless the thermostat
has been mishandled in transit or changed or
abused while in service.

Belshaw Adamatic Bakery Group Limited Warranty / Return Policy

Subject to the terms and limitations set forth in this limited warranty
(“Limited Warranty”), Belshaw Adamatic Bakery Group (also referred to
as “the Manufacturer”) warrants to the original purchaser (“Purchaser”)
of Manufacturer’s equipment and parts (“Products”), Belshaw Adamatic
Bakery Group’s manufacture and assembly of Products to be free from
defects in workmanship and material which would result in product
failure under normal use and service. Belshaw Adamatic Bakery
Group’s entire liability under this Limited Warranty is limited to either
repairing or replacing at Manufacturer’s factory or on Purchaser’s
premises, at Belshaw Adamatic Bakery Group’s option, any Products
purchased by Purchaser which shall be determined by the
Manufacturer to be defective. If necessary to return Products to
Manufacturer’s factory, Products must be shipped by Purchaser with
transportation charges prepaid by Purchaser.

Belshaw Adamatic Bakery Group reserves the right to make changes in
design or add any improvement to its Products at any time without
incurring any obligations to install the same on Products previously
sold.

Possession, use or operation of Products sold hereunder for any other
than their designed purpose, or use of Products which are in poor
repair, modified, improperly operated, or neglected, is done at the
Purchaser’s risk. Belshaw Adamatic Bakery Group hereby disclaims
any liability for these actions and shall not be liable for defects in or for
any damages or loss to any property which is attributable to such
actions.

Under no circumstances shall Belshaw Adamatic Bakery Group be
liable for any indirect, special, incidental, or consequential
damages arising out of, or from the use of its Products by
Purchaser, its assignees, employees, agents or customers.

THIS LIMITED WARRANTY SHALL BE PURCHASER’S SOLE AND
EXCLUSIVE REMEDY WITH RESPECT TO DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS.

Warranty Period

This Limited Warranty covers Products manufactured by Belshaw
Adamatic Bakery Group and sold by Belshaw Adamatic Bakery Group
or its authorized distributor (“Distributor”) or authorized dealer
(“Dealer”), and this Limited Warranty shall extend for a period of one (1)
year from date of shipment to Purchaser, and to the original Purchaser
only.

Limited Warranty

With respect to products not manufactured by Belshaw Adamatic
Bakery Group, warranty coverage shall be limited to the warranty of the
original manufacturer of the product, or the Belshaw Adamatic Bakery
Group Limited Warranty, whichever is the lesser coverage period.

Replacement Products provided under the terms of this Limited
Warranty are warranted for the remainder of the original warranty
period applicable to the Product.

Exclusions

This Limited Warranty excludes from its coverage and does not apply
to: (a) solenoid and relay coils; (b) lamps; (c) “O” rings; (d) belts; and
(e) impellers. This Limited Warranty also excludes the cost of labor for
removing and replacing Products subject to a warranty claim, other
than the labor incurred directly by the Manufacturer when, in Belshaw
Adamatic Bakery Group’s opinion, a repair of the Product by the
Manufacturer is justified.

In case of warranty claims relating to your Product, you must follow the
instructions below.

Report Claims to Your Authorized Distributor or Dealer or to

Shipping Damage and Missing Items

Damage to the Packaging or Crate. On delivery, promptly check all

packages thoroughly for any sign of damage. In cases of visible

of a Freight Claim. Take photographs that clearly show the damage.

Damage to Products. If you find any damaged Product inside the
shipment, photograph the damage both inside and outside of the
package. Do not throw the packaging away. Photos of the package
and contents are needed to show the condition of the Product at the
time it was received.
