1 Operation
Read each step completely before doing what it
tells you to do.
Making Yeast-Raised
Donuts
1. Remove the hopper and plunger, the cutter
head, and the swing column, if they are
installed.
2. Pivot the splash guard down.
3. When the shortening reaches the correct
frying temperature, it should reach the top of
the flight bars.
Shortening expands as it increases in
temperature. This means that unless the
shortening is at frying temperature when you
put it in the kettle, you should put it in
gradually. Let the shortening in the kettle
heat up before you add more.
Put shortening in the kettle using one of
these methods:
• Use the optional EZ Melt to melt
shortening and transfer it to the kettle.
See your EZ Melt manual.
• Pre-melt shortening in a pan on the stove
and carefully pour it into the kettle.
WARNING
Hot shortening causes severe burns.
• Put solid shortening into the kettle,
packing it tightly around the elements
and bulbs.
WARNING
Air spaces can cause the shortening to
overheat and catch on fire.
4. Turn the heating element on by turning the
thermostat knob to the desired temperature.
Two pilot lights will come on. The one on
the top of the heater head indicates that the
heating element has been turned on (that the
thermostat is set above 200
°F/93°C). The
one on the front of the heater head indicates
that the shortening has not yet reached the
desired temperature. This light will go out if
the high temperature limit control breaks the
circuit.
Note: If the high temperature limit control
does break the circuit, push the red reset
button on the back of the heater head.
5. Wait for the shortening to reach the desired
temperature. When it does, the light on the
front of the heater head will go out. DO
NOT run the conveyor until all the
shortening has melted.
6. Install your Feed Table and load proof cloths
on it. Refer to Section 5, “Related
Products,” for complete installation and
operation instructions for the Feed Table.
7. Choose the appropriate fry time for your
product using the fry time control knob on
the heater head.
8. Using the switch on the heater head, select
one cut per pocket. Although the machine
will not be cutting donuts, it needs to be at
this setting when frying yeast-raised
products.
