Preface The 616B and 616BT donut fryers have been designed and built using the finest materials and components available. It is the result of years of research and development. Designed into this unit are many features which will insure more quality in your products and reduce your operating cost. Attention to the instructions regarding installation, operation, and maintenance should result in years of troublefree service.
1 Installation Unpacking the Fryer 1. Use a fork lift to transport the shipping crate to the work station. WARNING Never let water and hot shortening come in contact with each other. Moisture causes hot shortening to spatter, which may cause serious injury. Prior to use, make sure the kettle and any other parts you have washed are dry. 2. Break down the shipping crate. 3. Remove all the packing materials from the fryer. These include foam, tape, brown paper, plastic, and white protective coating.
. The heater head assembly is equipped with a high temperature limit control. Push the reset button on the back of the heater head if power to the heater elements is cut off. 6. Level the fryer and connect it to the power source, as explained in “Installing the Fryer” above. 9. When heating shortening that has solidified, a pocket of shortening may overheat and cause the high temperature limit control to cut power to the elements. Push the reset button to resume heating.
2 Operation Read each step completely before doing what it tells you to do. • Melt shortening in a pan on the stove and pour it into the kettle. 1. • Very carefully put solid shortening into the kettle. Put enough shortening in the kettle to completely cover the heating elements, thermocouple, and high-temperature limit control probe.
To fry yeast-raised donuts, place donuts on the fry screen and slowly lower the screen into the fryer. With the donut stick, turn the donuts over to fry the top side. Remove the fry screen and donuts when the donuts are completely fried by lifting up the fry screen with the donuts on top of it. Immediately place on or over a tray to catch dripping shortening. WARNING Hot shortening will drip off the fry screens, causing a slip hazard.
Cleaning For your safety, observe the following warnings throughout the entire cleaning process. 3 Cleaning the Frying Screen 1. In a sink or a dishwasher, wash the frying screen using warm water and mild detergent. Do not use an abrasive cleaner or scraper. 2. Rinse the frying screen in clear water. 3. Dry the frying screen thoroughly, using a soft cloth, before you use it again. WARNING Thoroughly clean and dry the floor if shortening, water, or other materials are spilled.
WARNING Do not use a plastic container. If the shortening is not cool enough, the container will melt, possibly causing you to be burned, and causing shortening spill. Washing 1. Wash the kettle carefully with detergent to remove all stains and burned shortening. 2. Scrub the inside of the kettle. Do not use any abrasive cleaners or scrapers. WARNING WARNING Do not allow the shortening to overflow the containers.
Calibrating The Fryer Calibration of 618-6 Temperature Indicator To check calibration, use the following steps. 4 To check calibration: 1. Important: Make sure that the fryer is filled with shortening. Read the warnings on the control panel about high temperatures. 1. Turn the dial of the thermostat to a medium temperature setting of approximately 350° F. 2. Use a good thermometer that reads temperatures up to 400°F/204°C. Place the thermometer in the shortening. 2.

CARE, MAINTENANCE, and CLEANING INSTRUCTION for PLUNGERS and HOPPERS The plungers and hoppers of your Type K are precision instruments built from alloy steels and aluminum. They should be handled with care to insure continued satisfactory performance. When cleaning aluminum, selection of the right type cleaner is your most important consideration. Any household dish washing detergent which is safe for aluminum does a good job of cleaning and does not attack aluminum.
TABLES AND FORMULAS USED IN DONUT MAKING Calculating Correct Water Temperature The following is an example of how to calculate the correct water temperature to use. You must use your own room temperature, dry mix temperature, desired batter temperature, and, if you are making yeast-raised donuts, estimated temperature increase during mixing.

The donuts may also become dense inside. 190.6 193.3 Tips on Making Quality Cake Donuts If the shortening is too cold, the donuts will spread too rapidly, will form large rings, will tend to crack open, will be too light in appearance, and will absorb too much shortening. Use the correct batter temperature. In general, the correct batter temperature is 75 -80 F/24 -27 C. Check the mix manufacturer’s instructions, as the recommended temperature range may vary.
Care and Cleaning of Belshaw Cutters and Dispensers The most important thing when cleaning aluminum is the selection of the right type of cleaner. Strong alkali cleaners such as lye, soda ash, and tri-sodium phosphate discolor and corrode aluminum, even in weak solutions. A detergent which contains an inhibitor to prevent the attack on metals, such as those listed below, does a good job of cleaning and does not attack the aluminum.
