Preface
WARNING – FIRE DANGER
All combustible materials must be at least
18 inches (46cm) from your Donut Robot.
The Donut Robot Mark II-Gas 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. Your
Mark II Gas is used with EITHER Propane Gas
OR Natural Gas (not both).
The Mark II-Gas is designed to be used on a flat,
stationary table or countertop. The operator will
stand on the opposite to the control panel of the
machine. The operator must work safely at all
times, read this manual, and follow its
instructions. Study the instructions and warnings
in this manual carefully. A thorough
understanding of how to install, maintain, and
safely operate the Donut Robot Mark II-Gas will
prevent production delays and injuries.
The Mark II Gas produces only 71.5 dB(A) of
equivalent A-weighted sound pressure at
workstations. This has been determined during a
dry run of the machine, using a Bruel & Kjaer
sound level meter, type 2236.
To use the Mark II-Gas safely, heed these
warnings, and all other warnings in this manual:
•The machine should be secured to the work
surface. This will prevent it from moving or
falling, which could cause serious injury.
•Never let water come in contact with hot
shortening. 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.
•To avoid electrocution or other injury, unplug
the machine before attempting any
adjustment, repair, disassembly, or cleaning.
•Hot shortening can cause serious burns.
Make sure that the fryer and the shortening
are cool 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 fire and personal injury, always
shut the machine down completely and wait
at least five minutes before igniting the pilot
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.
•To avoid serious injury or death, always keep
the fryer area free and clear from combustible
materials.

1 Operation
For general information on donut production,
refer to Section 5, “Donut-Making Helps.”
Taking Safety Precautions
Contact you local gas supplier and obtain
information about what to do if there is a gas
leak. Post this information in a prominent
location. Make sure that all employees know
what to do.
WARNING
To avoid the possibility of fire, explosion,
property damage, serious burns, and even
death, never store gasoline or any other
flammable liquid or vapor near the fryer.
WARNING
If you want to re-start the machine after
you have shut it down, do the following:
1. Move the POWER switch on the control
box to the OFF position. 2. Move the gas
control valve to the PILOT position.
3. Lightly press down the valve and turn it
to the OFF position. 4. WAIT 5
MINUTES. 5. Re-light the pilot, as
explained below.
FAILURE TO WAIT 5 MINUTES FOR
THE GAS TO DISSIPATE COULD
RESULT IN A FIRE OR AN EXPLOSION
WHEN YOU RE-LIGHT THE PILOT.
WARNING
To avoid serious injury or death, if you
smell gas or suspect a gas leak, proceed as
follows: 1. Turn off the gas. 2. Evacuate
the building. 3. Do not touch any electrical
switch or telephone until you are sure no
spilled gas remains.
The fryer is bolted to the work surface to prevent
it from tipping over and splashing hot liquid on
the operator.
WARNING
To avoid serious burns, other injury, and
even death, never move the fryer when
liquid is in it. If you want to move the
fryer, follow the instructions in “Moving
the Fryer,” in Section 1, “Installation” in
the Technical Supplement.

Making Cake Donuts
Read each step completely before doing what it
tells you to do.
WARNING
To avoid serious injury or death, before
you begin working, make sure that there is
no combustible material in the area of the
fryer.
1. If necessary, install the swing column,
connect the swing connecting rod, install the
cutter head, and install the hopper and the
plunger.
2. Connect the machine to an appropriate
power source.
3. Check the connection of the machine to the
gas source to make sure that it is tight.
4. 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 the
these methods.
•Pre-melt shortening in a pan on the
stove, heat only slightly to liquefy the
shortening and carefully pour it into the
kettle.
WARNING
Hot shortening causes severe burns.
•Put solid shortening into the kettle,
packing it tightly around the thermostat
bulbs.
WARNING
Air spaces can cause the shortening to
overheat and catch on fire.
5. Turn the combination gas control valve knob
to the PILOT position.
6. Press and hold down the valve knob. At the
same time, push the red ignition button until
you can see a flame through the opening on
the outfeed end of the fryer.
7. Continue holding down the valve knob for
about 20 seconds. When you release the
valve, make sure the flame is still on the
pilot.

1. Turn the combination gas control valve
knob to the PILOT position. 2. Lightly
press down the valve knob and turn it to
OFF. 3. WAIT 5 MINUTES. 4. Re-light the
pilot. FAILURE TO WAIT 5 MINUTES
FOR THE GAS TO DISSIPATE COULD
RESULT IN A FIRE OR AN EXPLOSION
WHEN YOU RE-LIGHT THE PILOT.
8. Move the valve knob switch to the ON
position.
10. Set the thermostat to the desired setting.
The pilot light on the control box will come
on, indicating that the shortening
temperature is lower then the desired
temperature.
Note: If the high temperature limit control
does break the circuit, push the red reset
button on the back of the control box.
11. Wait for the shortening to reach the desired
temperature. When it does, the pilot light
will go out. DO NOT run the conveyor until
all the shortening has melted.
12. If using the optional Shortening Reserve
Tank, fill it with shortening. Then position
it on the conveyor side panels either ahead
of or behind the turner, but not above it.
The heat of the fryer will melt the shortening
in the tank.
13. Disengage the swing connecting rod from
the swing column throw arm and swing the
hopper away from over the fryer.
14. Adjust the size selector dial on the cutter
head’s crankshaft assembly. This dial
regulates the donut weight. The higher the
setting, the larger the donuts will be. Adjust
the dial setting as follows:
a. Unscrew the dial lock nut 1/2 turn.
b. Turn the dial to the desired position, as
indicated by the marks on the crank
plate.
c. Tighten the dial in place with the lock
nut. Tighten it using your fingers only.
15. Put dough into the hopper. Prime the hopper
to expel any air that may be trapped in the
bottom of it. To prime the hopper:
a. Hold a mixing bowl under the cutter.
b. Hold down the prime switch on the
cutter head and run the cutter until it has
dropped two or three donuts into the
bowl.
Note: Holding down the prime switch
causes the cutter to run continuously
without the normal delay between cuts.
c. Put the dough in the bowl back in the
hopper.
16. Return the hopper into position over the fryer
and reconnect the swing connecting rod to
the swing column throw arm.
17. Choose the appropriate fry time for your
product using the fry time control knob on
the control box.
18. Using the switch on the control box, select
the number of donuts−one or two−you want
to cut during each swing cycle of the hopper.
19. Turn on the cutter using the power switch on
the cutter head.
20. Turn on the conveyor drive using the power
switch on the control box.

•If you are using the optional EZ Melt,
transfer more shortening from it. See
your EZ Melt manual.
•If you are using the optional Shortening
Reserve Tank, push open the supply
valve.
22. Continue adding dough to the hopper as
needed. You can add dough to the hopper
without priming it again as long as it does not
become empty. If the hopper does become
empty, you must prime it again.
23. When you fill the hopper for the last time,
you will want to use all of the dough in the
hopper. To do so, push the dough to the
bottom of the hopper using a rubber scraper
or spatula. Be careful not to jam the scraper
in the donut cutter.
WARNING

cause serious injury or loss of life.
WARNING
To avoid electrocuting yourself or
damaging the machine, never allow water,
steam, shortening, cleaning solution, or any
other liquid to enter the control box or the
cutter head assembly.
Cleaning the Hopper and
the Plunger
General guidelines:
•Use household dishwashing detergent.
Do not use strong alkali cleaners such as
lye, soda ash, or trisodium phosphate, as
these discolor and corrode aluminum.
•Wash, dry, and lubricate parts
thoroughly to prevent rusting.
•When washing parts by hand, wash each
part separately; do not put any other
utensil or dish in the sink with the part
being washed.
To clean the hopper and the plunger:
1. Unplug the cutter head power cord.
2. Remove the plunger and the hopper. To do
so, reverse the procedures found in Steps 2
and 3 of “Assembling the Cutter” in
Section 1 of the Technical Supplement.
3. Pre-soak the parts, if necessary, to loosen
stubborn or dried-on deposits.
4. Wash the hopper and the plunger separately
in hot water and a detergent recommended
for aluminum. Use a non-scratching plastic
scouring cloth to remove soil and restore
luster.
5. Rinse the hopper and the plunger separately
in clear, hot water (170°-190°F/77°-88°C).
6. Dry each part completely.
7. Dip the plunger and the hopper cylinder in
mineral oil or liquid shortening to prevent
rust and sticking.
8. Wipe the cutter head assembly with a soft
cloth dampened with hot water and an
appropriate cleaner. Wipe it with another
damp cloth to remove the cleaner. Wipe it

Cleaning the Conveyor and
the Kettle
There are three basic steps to cleaning the
conveyor and the fryer kettle: removing the
shortening, washing, rinsing, and drying. You
must perform all four steps and perform them in
the order listed.
Removing the Shortening
WARNING
To avoid being burned or electrocuted,
disconnect the machine from the power
source before cleaning the fryer.
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 follows:
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.
c. Lift the conveyor assembly from the
conveyor locating pin and pull it away
from the control box to disengage the
main drive shaft coupling from the
conveyor drive coupling.
d. Lift the outfeed end of the conveyor.
Slide one piece of wood under the
conveyor and lay it across the top of the
kettle. Lift the other end of the conveyor
and do the same thing with the other
piece of wood. The conveyor will now
be resting on the two pieces of wood.
Let the shortening drain off of the
conveyor and into the kettle. See Figure
2-1.

8. After the shortening has drained off of the
conveyor assembly, set the conveyor
assembly aside.
9. Check again to see that the shortening in the
kettle has cooled to 100°F/38°C.
10. Remove the shortening from the kettle using
one of these methods:
•Use an optional Filter Flo Siphon to
siphon the shortening into one or more
large metal buckets. (See the
instructions in Section 4.) Be careful not
to disturb the sediment that has
accumulated in the bottom of the kettle.
•Tilt the control box assembly back,
raising the thermostat and high limit out
of the kettle. Lift the kettle out of the
fryer case and carefully pour the
shortening into one or more large metal
buckets. Be careful not to disturb the
sediment that has accumulated in the
bottom of the kettle.

Belshaw Adamatic Bakery Group •[e-mail] •Phone [phone] •800-578-2547
14 MN-1017EN Donut Robot Mark II Gas OM
•Using a small saucepan or a metal
pitcher, scoop as much of the shortening
as you can into one or more large metal
buckets. Then lift the kettle out of the
fryer case and carefully pour the rest of
the shortening into a metal bucket. Be
careful not to disturb the sediment that
has accumulated in the bottom of the
kettle.
WARNING
Do not use plastic buckets. If the
shortening is not cool enough, the buckets
will melt; possibly causing you to be
burned, and causing shortening to get on
the floor.
WARNING
Do not allow the shortening to overflow the
buckets. Shortening will get on the floor,
and if the shortening is not cool enough,
you may be burned.
WARNING
Thoroughly clean and dry the floor if
shortening does spill. Shortening on the
floor can cause serious injury or loss of life.
11. Return the kettle to the fryer case, if you
have removed it.
12. Tilt the control box assembly back, raising
the thermostat and high limit out of the
kettle.
13. Lift the kettle out of the fryer case. Remove
and dispose of the remaining shortening and
the accumulated sediment. Dry the outside
of the kettle.
14. Put the kettle back in the fryer case.
15. Tilt the control box assembly down.
16. Put the drop plate and the turner assembly
back on the conveyor assembly.
17. Install the conveyor assembly.
Washing
1. Pour hot water into the kettle, up to the
normal level of the shortening. Add about
2 oz/59 ml of trisodium phosphate or other
appropriate cleaner.
2. Connect the machine to the power source.
Heat the solution to 200°F/93°C. Turn on
the conveyor. Keep the solution at this
temperature for 15-20 minutes.
3. Turn off the conveyor and scrub the soiled
parts while the solution is under heat. Do
not use any abrasive cleaners or scrapers.
4. Turn off the heater and disconnect the
machine from the power source. Allow the
cleaning solution to cool to 100°F/38°C.
5. Remove the conveyor and tilt the control
box back as you did before.
6. Remove the cleaning solution from the kettle
using one of these methods:
•If you have an optional Filter Flo
Siphon, remove its filter assembly. Then
use the Filter Flo to siphon the cleaning
solution into one or more large metal
buckets. (See the instructions in Section
4.) When the cleaning solution has
stopped draining, carefully carry the
buckets to the sink and slowly pour the
solution into the sink.
•Lift the kettle out of the fryer case,
carefully carry it to the sink, and slowly
pour the cleaning solution into the sink.
•Using a small saucepan or a metal
pitcher, scoop as much of the cleaning
solution as you can into one or more

solution is not cool enough, the buckets will
melt; possibly causing you to be burned,
and causing cleaning solution to get on the
floor.
WARNING
Do not allow the cleaning solution to
overflow the buckets. Cleaning solution
will get on the floor, and if the solution is
not cool enough, you may be burned.
WARNING
Thoroughly clean and dry the floor if
cleaning solution is to spill. Liquid on the
floor can cause serious injury or loss of life.
7. Lift the kettle out of the fryer case, if you
have not done so already.

water to cool to 100°F/38°C.
5. Lift the conveyor assembly out of the fryer
case. Tilt the control box assembly back.
6. Remove the water from the kettle using one
of these methods:
•If you have an optional Filter Flo
Siphon, remove its filter assembly. Then
use the Filter Flo to siphon the cleaning
solution into one or more large metal
buckets. (See the instructions in Section
4.) When the cleaning solution has
stopped draining, carefully carry the
buckets to the sink and slowly pour the
solution into the sink.
•Lift the kettle out of the fryer case,
carefully carry it to the sink, and slowly
pour the cleaning solution into the sink.
•Using a small saucepan or a metal
pitcher, scoop as much of the cleaning
solution as you can into one or more
large metal buckets. Then lift the kettle
out of the fryer case and carefully pour
the rest of the cleaning solution into a
metal bucket. Carefully carry the
buckets to the sink and slowly pour the
solution into the sink.

3 Maintenance
WARNING
To avoid being burned, electrocuted, or
otherwise injured, always unplug the
machine and allow it to cool down before
making adjustments, clearing obstructions,
lubricating, cleaning, or disassembling.
Taking Care of the Plunger,
Hopper, and Cylinder
The plunger, hopper, and cylinder of your Donut
Robot are precision instruments. If you take
good care of them, they will perform well for
years. Follow these guidelines:
•Clean these parts only in the manner
explained in this manual.
•Handle these parts with care. Avoid
dropping them on hard surfaces.
•Do not force the machine if it becomes
jammed. To avoid damaging the
plunger, disassemble the machine and
remove any obstructions.
Lubricating
Daily
Before using the machine each day, apply edible-
grade mineral oil to the plunger connecting rod.
The oil should penetrate the ball lock and the
spring socket. See Figure 3-1.
Figure 3-1. Lubricating the Connecting Rod.
Weekly
Apply a few drops of SAE 30 machine oil to the
swing column where it contacts the swing
column bracket.
