Preface

The 718LCG, 724CG, and 734CG Gas Fryers are
designed to fry cake and yeast-raised donut
products. Each must be bolted to a flat, dry
floor. The operator should stand opposite the
flue stack.

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:

• Make sure the machine is bolted securely to

the floor. Doing so will prevent the machine
from moving, tipping, or falling, which could
cause serious injury.

• 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.

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.

• 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.

• Make sure you are aware of the following:

This product contains chemicals known to
the State of California to cause birth defects
or other reproductive harm. Operation,
installation and servicing of this product
could expose you to carbon monoxide if not
adjusted properly. Inhalation of carbon
monoxide is known to the State of California

1 Operation

Taking Safety Precautions

In a prominent location, post information about
what to do if there is a gas leak. Make sure that
all employees know what to do.

WARNING

To avoid the possibility of fire, explosion,

property damage, serious burns, and even

death, never store gasoline or any other

flammable liquid or vapor near the fryer.

WARNING

To avoid serious injury or death, if you

smell gas or suspect a gas leak, proceed as

follows: 1. Turn off the gas. 2. Evacuate

the building. 3. Do not touch any electrical

switch or telephone until you are sure no

spilled gas remains.

* If you have a Belshaw EZMelt

shortening melter-filter, warm the
shortening and then transfer it to the
kettle. (For EZMelt operating
instructions, refer to the EZMelt
operator’s manual)

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 burner
tubes.

WARNING

Air spaces can cause the shortening to

overheat and catch on fire.

Filling with Shortening

WARNING

To avoid serious injury or death, before

you begin working, make sure that there is

no combustible material in the area of the

fryer.

Read each step completely before doing what it

tells you to do.

1 Make sure the drain valve is closed.

2 Put enough shortening in the kettle to

completely cover the burner tubes,
thermocouple, and high-temperature limit
control probe. Use one of these 3 methods:

Belshaw Adamatic Bakery Group • www.belshaw.com • Phone [phone] • Fax [phone]

718L/724/734CG Gas Fryers OM MN-1142EN 1

To avoid severe damage to the kettle, never

turn on the heat unless the heat tubes are

completely covered by liquid.

3. Move the on/off switch to the OFF position.

4. Rotate the gas control knob counterclock­wise to the ON position.

5. Move the on/off switch to the ON position.

The yellow pilot light near the on/off switch

and the red pilot light on the fryer cabinet
will both light up.

CAUTION

Above: OMRON Digital Temperature Controller

6. (See diagram above) On the digital
temperature controller, push the up and down
arrow keys to adjust the target frying temperature
(SV). A common target frying temperature is

375°F (190°C).

If the Pilot Light Fails to
Ignite

If this happens, follow these steps to reset the
system:

a. Move the on/off switch to the OFF

position.

b. Wait for the shortening to cool to

385°F/196°C or below. You will not be
able to ignite the pilot until the
shortening reaches this temperature.

If the pilot fails to ignite within a certain length
of time, the gas system will go into safety lock­out. If this happens, move the on/off switch to
OFF, wait at least one minute, and then move the
on/off switch to ON again.

WARNING

Failure to wait at least one minute for the

gas to dissipate could result in a fire or an

explosion when the pilot is lighted again.

High Temperature Limit
Switch

If the shortening temperature exceeds
435°F/224°C, the high-temperature limit control
will break the circuit, and the electrical and gas
systems will shut off.

c. Push the red High Limit Reset Button

located just above the temperature
controller.

d. Move the on/off switch to the ON

position.

Adding Shortening to the
Fryer

Continue adding shortening to the kettle until it
reaches the proper depth for frying. Use one of
the following methods. For safety reasons, we
recommend the first method, and discourage you
from using any other method.

WARNING

To avoid serious burns, be very careful not

to splatter hot shortening when you add

shortening to the kettle.

Belshaw Adamatic Bakery Group. • www.belshaw.com • Phone [phone] • Fax [phone]

2 MN-1142EN 718L/724/734CG Gas Fryers OM

* If you have a Belshaw EZMelt

shortening melter-filter, warm the
shortening and then transfer it to the
kettle. (For EZMelt operating
instructions, refer to the EZMelt
operator’s manual)

* Melt shortening in a pan on the stove and

pour it into the kettle.

* Very carefully put solid shortening into

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.

WARNING

To avoid serious burns, when the fryer is

operating, do not touch the flue, exhaust

manifold, stacks, gas burners, or any part

of the fryer that is in contact with hot
shortening. Keep clear from the area

above the flue outlet.

Wait for the shortening to reach the desired

temperature.

Fill up to “OIL LEVEL”
Marks

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

When you have finished frying, move the on/off
switch to the OFF position.

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.

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.

• 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.

Belshaw Adamatic Bakery Group • www.belshaw.com • Phone [phone] • Fax [phone]

718L/724/734CG Gas Fryers OM MN-1142EN 7

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.
