Preface
The Donut Robot Mark VI is designed to
automatically cut and fry cake donut products,
and to fry yeast-raised donut products. It is not
designed to cut or fry any other products.
The Mark VI uses electrical elements to heat
shortening in its kettle. In the European
Community, the machine is available with the
following electrical configurations:
• 380 volts, 3 phase, 50 hertz
• 415 volts, 3 phase, 50 hertz
The Donut Robot Mark VI produces only 71.5
dB(A) of equivalent continuous A-weighted
sound pressure at work stations. This has been
determined during a dry run of the machine,
using a Bruel & Kjaer sound level meter, type
2236.
The Mark VI is meant to be used on a flat,
stationary table or countertop. The operator must
work safely at all times and read this manual and
follow its instructions and warnings.
Study the instructions and warnings in this
manual carefully. A thorough understanding of
how to install, maintain, and safely operate the
Donut Robot Mark VI will prevent production
delays and injuries.
To use the Mark VI 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,
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.
• Always turn the thermostat knob below
200
°F/93°C before filtering shortening,
