As Needed
Filter the shortening in the fryer daily or weekly,
depending on the level of donut production. The
method used to filter the shortening depends on
whether you are using an optional EZ Melt, an
optional Filter Flo Siphon, or neither.
Filtering with an EZ Melt
If you have an EZ Melt, you should rinse the
conveyor and the kettle when you filter
shortening. To rinse and filter using an EZ Melt,
follow the steps below. Refer to your EZ Melt
manual for complete instructions.
1. Disconnect the machine from the power
source.
2. Unplug the cutter head power cord.
3. Let the shortening cool to 100
°F/38°C.
4. Drain the shortening from the fryer kettle
into the EZ Melt. To do this, reach under
the table and open the drain valve
underneath the Donut Robot. Let the
shortening drain into the EZ Melt. See
Figure 2-1.
WARNING
Thoroughly clean and dry the floor if
shortening is spilled. Shortening on the
floor can cause serious injury or loss of life.
5. Using the rinsing hose of the EZ Melt, rinse
the conveyor assembly and the kettle with
shortening. Allow the shortening to drain
into the EZ Melt.
6. Close the drain valve.
Figure 2-1. Opening the Drain Valve.
Filtering with a Filter Flo
Siphon
To filter shortening using an optional Filter Flo
Siphon, refer to “Filter Flo Siphon” in Appendix
A for instructions.
Filtering without Accessories
If you do not have an EZ Melt or a Filter Flo
Siphon, follow the steps below to filter your
shortening. You could also use this procedure if
you wanted to clean your turner and drop plate.
1. Disconnect the machine from the power
source.
2. Let the shortening cool to 100
°F/38°C.
3. Unplug the cutter head power cord.
4. Lift the cutter head off the swing column.
5. Remove the conveyor assembly as explained
below. Get another person to help you.
a. Obtain two pieces of wood, at least 1” x
1” x 15” (2.5 cm x 2.5 cm x 38 cm).
b. Lift off the swing connecting rod.
