1 Introduction

The Donut Robot® Mark II and Mark V are designed to automatically deposit and fry cake donut products, and to fry yeast-raised donut products. It is not designed to deposit or fry any other products. The Donut Robot is designed to be used on a flat, stationary table or countertop, with the operator standing opposite the heater head of the machine. The operator must work safely at all times and read this manual and follow its instructions and warnings. The Donut Robot® produces only 71.5 dB(A) of equivalent A-weighted sound pressure at workstations. This has been determined during a dry run of the machine, using a Bruel & Kjaer sound level meter, type 2236. Study the instructions and warnings in this manual carefully. A thorough understanding of how to install, maintain, and safely operate the Donut Robot® will prevent production delays and injuries. To use the Donut Robot® safely, heed the following warnings and all other warnings that appear in this manual:

• Make sure the machine is secured to the

work surface. Doing so will prevent the machine from moving 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.

• Hot shortening can cause serious burns.

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

• To avoid electrocution or other injury,

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

• To avoid damaging the machine, never

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

• Be careful never to get shortening, water,

or other materials on the floor. If anything does get spilled on the floor, clean the area 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.

8. Set the Feed table/Cake Donut

depositor switch to FEED TABLE for yeast-raised donuts or CAKE DONUT DEPOSITOR for cake donuts or mini donuts.

9. Connect the Cake Donut Depositor or

Feed Table to the electrical connector socket located at the left end of the control panel.

Inserting Shortening

WARNING

Hot shortening is much hotter than boiling

water! It will cause severe burns if it

touches your skin. Never touch hot

shortening. Always exercise extreme

caution with hot shortening. Use oven

gloves when working near hot shortening.

1. When the shortening reaches the correct

frying temperature, it should reach the top of the flight bars or chains.

2. If your fryer has a drain, close the drain

valve.

3. Put shortening in the kettle using one of

these methods: a. Pre-melt shortening in a pan on the stove

and carefully pour it into the kettle.

b. Use the optional EZ Melt to melt

shortening and transfer it to the kettle. See your EZ Melt manual.

c. Put solid shortening into the kettle,

packing it tightly around the elements and bulbs without air spaces.

WARNING

Air spaces can cause the shortening to

overheat and catch on fire. Pack the

shortening tightly without air spaces.

WARNING

Shortening expands as it increases in

temperature. Do not fill shortening all the

way up to the flight bars or chains, if it is

cold. The shortening level will rise by up to

1 inch (25 mm) when it is fully heated.

Heating Shortening

1. Turn on the FRYER HEAT switch (the

temperature controller will turn on). a. If you are heating solid shortening using

method 2c above, turn the heat switch on and off every 10 seconds, until the solid shortening has melted and no air pockets remain.

IMPORTANT

If you are heating solid shortening, turn

the heat switch on and off every 10 seconds,

until shortening has melted around the

elements and no air pockets remain.

2. Wait for the shortening to reach the desired

temperature. When it does, the Temperature Control light on the front of the heater head will turn off and the conveyor will start. DO NOT run the conveyor until all the shortening has melted.

3. If you are using the optional Shortening

Reserve Tank, fill it with shortening. Then position it on the conveyor side panels either ahead of or behind the turner, but not above it. The heat of the fryer will melt the shortening in the tank.

Make sure that both screw in the filter assembly are tight. If they are not, the

filter assembly might slide off of the siphon

tube during operation, causing shortening

to splatter.

6. Place a five-gallon metal container under the filter.

WARNING

Do not use a plastic container. Hot

shortening could melt the container.

Operation

1. Compress the bulb quickly and release it quickly. Do this only once. Shortening should flow into the container.

CAUTION

Do not compress the bulb more than once.

Doing so could allow hot shortening to get

into the bulb, damaging your equipment.

2. Watch the container as the shortening flows into it. If the shortening rises to within 2”/ 5 cm of the top of the container, do the following: a. With one hand, hold the siphon by the

handle. With the other hand, loosen the thumb screw that holds the siphon assembly to the mounting bracket on the lip of the kettle.

b. Slowly lift the siphon assembly so its

opening is above the shortening. Do not

remove it from the mounting bracket. c. Tighten the thumb screw. d. When the shortening stops flowing and

the valve closes, move the container out

from under the filter. e. Place another five-gallon metal container

under the filter. f. With one hand, hold the siphon by the

handle. With the other hand, loosen the

thumb screw that holds the siphon

assembly to the mounting bracket on the

lip of the kettle. g. Slowly lower the siphon assembly so its

opening is near the bottom of the kettle. h. Tighten the thumb screw. i. Restart the siphon, as explained in

step 1. j. Continue watching the container and

repeat the above procedure as needed.

WARNING

If you allow shortening to overflow the

container, the shortening could burn you,

and it will get on the floor, possibly causing

slips, falls, injury, or even death. If

shortening does get on the floor, thoroughly

clean and dry the floor right away.

3. When the shortening stops flowing, tilt up the side of the kettle opposite the siphon. Place a wedge under the side of the kettle to hold it up. The remaining shortening will now flow toward the siphon.

4. Set aside the container of shortening.

5. Remove the filter assembly.

6. Place a different container under the valve assembly and start the siphon again. Drain the remaining shortening and discard it; it will be full of sediment.

Cleaning

1. Remove the siphon from the Donut Robot.

2. Squeeze the bulb several times to expel shortening from the siphon.

3. Wipe the siphon clean and hang it with the bulb side up so any remaining shortening will drain. Place a pan under the siphon to collect the shortening.

4. Rinse the filter bag and hang it to dry. You may launder it as needed.

WARNING

After washing, be sure the Filter Flo

Siphon is completely dry before using it

again. Moisture will cause hot shortening

to spatter, which may cause serious injury.

5 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 and absorb the proper amount of shortening.

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 depositor 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 depositor), 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.
