below.

1. Disconnect the machine from the power

source.

conveyor drive assembly to the bottom of
the heater head.

CAUTION

Be gentle with all parts of the conveyor

drive assembly, especially when pulling it

out of the heater head and putting it back

in the heater head.. Damaging the parts

could stop production.

Checking the Thermostat

If the quality of your product decreases, check
the accuracy of the thermostat. Heat some
shortening in the fryer, measure the temperature
of the shortening using a thermometer you know
to be accurate, and compare this reading to the
thermostat setting. It is important that you put the
thermometer in the top 1” (2.5 cm) or so of
shortening, because this is where the donuts are
fried, and this is where the temperature should be
consistent. If you need to calibrate the
thermostat, consult Section 5, “Electrical
Components.”

If you ever want to test the continuity of the
thermostat or any of the switches on your Donut
Robot, refer to Section 5, “Electrical
Components.”
