HOW TO OPERATE
Now that you have cleaned and reassembled your AUTOMATIC MINI
DONUT FACTORY™, making donuts is both easy and fun!
You will need:
• Cooking oil such as Canola, Peanut, Sunower Oil or Soybean
ENGLISH
Oil. (Never use butter, margarine or lard.)
• Paper towels and a brown paper bag for absorbing excess oil from hot donuts.
HOW YOUR DONUT MAKER WORKS
Your AUTOMATIC MINI DONUT FACTORY™ will release a measured amount of dough from
the Dough Dispenser into the hot oil. The donut will be held for seconds in a frying area
before advancing to the ipping mechanism. The ipping mechanism ips the donut
over onto the Spatula Fingers. The Spatula Fingers slowly transport the donut along to
the end of the Oil Fill Pan. The Spatula Fingers carefully rise up and out of the oil pushing
the donut over a drainage ramp, which allows the donut to slide onto the Donut Slide,
where it slides down into the Donut Bin. The entire cooking cycle for one donut takes a
little over one minute to complete. As soon as the rst donut has completed cooking,
the cycle will repeat. The cycle is continuous, so make sure to turn o your AUTOMATIC
MINI DONUT FACTORY™ when you have cooked your desired amount of donuts.
MAKING DONUTS
It is essential for you to follow the included recipes EXACTLY. This unit
works best with AUTOMATIC MINI DONUT FACTORY™ packaged mix or
other drop donut mix especially created for donut machines.
Follow these instructions to make delicious mini donuts:
• Before lling the Oil Fill Pan, make sure the oil drain is closed by turning switch in
Oil Drainage Control Box to a horizontal position (Drain Closed). Also conrm the
Donut Bin is in place before you turn on the AUTOMATIC MINI DONUT FACTORY™.
• You may want to place a cookie sheet or tin foil under the AUTOMATIC MINI
DONUT FACTORY™ to collect any oil that may drop while making donuts.
• Plug your AUTOMATIC MINI DONUT FACTORY™ into a nearby outlet. Note
there is an instruction on the plug head that reads “this side up.”
• Pour oil into the Oil Fill Pan located directly under the clear door to
the MAX ll line indicated. The oil ll pan will hold approximately 1½
cups of oil to maximum ll line. (DO NOT overll or underll)
• Continue to check the oil level periodically while cooking donuts. Maintaining proper oil
level is critical for proper frying, ipping and maintaining the shape of the donuts.
7
• Keep clear window at top of machine open while cooking to
maintain proper oil temperature. If oil is too hot, donuts will not
cook properly. (Temperature should remain around 375˚ F)
• Turn the Conveyor/Heat switch to the right (PRE-HEAT). The
light positioned above the dials will turn red.
• Open and pull down the Donut Slide.
• Put the Drainage Tray inside of the Donut Bin and position the
Donut Bin directly underneath the Donut Slide.
• When the light turns from red to green, the oil has reached the correct temperature
for cooking donuts. Turn the Conveyor/Heat switch to the left (ON).
• Fill the Dough Dispenser with your favorite donut batter
to max ll line or to within 1 inch of the top.
• Periodically stir the batter and keep the Dough Dispenser full of
dough while cooking donuts for best performance.
• Before making donuts, check consistency of batter (SEE BELOW). When
you are ready to make donuts, turn the Dough Dispenser switch ON.
• When Dough Dispenser switch is ON, the machine will be activated
and the conveyor will begin moving the Spatula Fingers.
• Note that the conveyor moves slowly and a fresh donut will be dispensed every 90 seconds.
DO NOT touch moving parts or hot oil, as SEVERE injury and burns can occur. Keep
hands and face away from machine while in operation. Donuts are VERY HOT.
CHECKING CONSISTENCY OF BATTER & DONUT SHAPE
Before making donuts with the AUTOMATIC MINI DONUT FACTORY™, you
will need to test the shape and consistency of the donuts.
• To test the shape of the donuts, after lling the Dough Dispenser, push
trigger down for 3. 5 seconds, gently releasing dough onto a plate.
• Observe the dough release as it drops down and then goes back up. (You are bringing
dough down to the bottom and checking the dough discharge with this step.)
• After the release is closed, wipe clean any dough from the bottom
of the Dough Dispenser, around the trigger area.
ENGLISH
HELPFUL TIPS
DONUT SHAPE
The AUTOMATIC MINI DONUT FACTORY™ uses a "drop" process for forming and cooking the
donuts. It does not cut donut shapes. Therefore, each mini donut will be unique. You should
also expect a small amount of excess batter or misshaped donuts when using the machine.
DISPENSING DOUGH
If the dough is not dispensing properly, check consistency of donut batter. Dough should be
slightly thicker than pancake batter. Also check the bottom of the Dough Dispenser. Clean
between cooking cycles to avoid dough build up and clogging.
8
DONUT FLIPPING
Occasionally a donut will not get turned over at the ipping segment of the cycle.
Check the oil level in the unit. You may have too much oil or too little oil. Additionally,
the donut may have gotten o-center. You may use a pair of tongs, fork or wooden
skewer to ip the donut over. Make sure that you rst stop the cooking cycle by turning
the Dough Dispenser switch to OFF and the Heat/Conveyor switch to PRE-HEAT. Also,
wear oven mitts for added safety. DO NOT touch the donut or oil with your ngers.
ENGLISH
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
1. Unplug the unit from the electrical outlet and wait one hour for oil to cool
completely before cleaning. Move all switches to the OFF position.
2. Turn the Oil Drainage Control Box switch to the vertical position to allow the oil to drain.
NOTE: It is recommended that you use a pair of tweezers
to remove donut particles from the drain hole. The oil drain
has an L shaped tube (attached to the hole) underneath
the Oil Fill Pan. This empties into the Oil Bin Drainage
Pan. If you attempt to poke or probe with a sharp object
such as a toothpick to clear the hold of donut particles,
you risk puncturing the tube. This tube cannot be replaced.
3. Clean Oil Fill Pan using a non-abrasive cloth
or sponge. You can remove the Oil Bin
Drainage Pan under the Dough Dispenser once the Motor Dispenser Head
has been moved and the Dough Dispenser has been removed.
4. When the oil has drained completely, remove the Oil Bin Drainage Pan by pulling out from
the unit. Pour the used oil and dough particles into a can and dispose of in a safe manner.
5. To remove the Safety Windows for cleaning, open the window nearest the
motor dispenser and gently unsnap and remove from the back hinges. The
second Safety Window may be slightly tighter to unsnap and remove, but with
gentle pressure, this window removes for cleaning in the same way.
6. To replace both Safety Windows after cleaning, t the back hinge of the curved
window into the slot and lower the front gently adding pressure until it snaps
into place. Return the remaining Safety Window in place the same way.
7. Unlatch and rotate the Motor Dispenser Head counter clockwise. Remove the
Dough Dispenser. Empty any remaining dough and wash the Dough Dispenser
with hot soapy water. (See Donut Dispenser Breakdown for cleaning below)
8. The Dough Dispenser, Oil Bin Drainage Pan, Donut Slide, Donut Bin and Drainage Tray
can all be submerged in hot, soapy water to clean. Dry with a clean cloth or towel.
9. Hold and tilt the AUTOMATIC MINI DONUT FACTORY over the trash receptacle to empty
and clean out the remaining dough particles that have fallen inside the bottom of
the unit using a gentle shake. CAUTION: Vigorous shaking could damage the unit.
10. Wipe the exterior clean using a non-abrasive dry cloth or sponge.
