4 MN-0019EN Operator’s Manual 618L, 624, and 634 Fryers
Preface
The 618L, 624, and 634 Electric Fryers are
designed to fry cake and yeast-raised donut
products. Each must be bolted to a flat, dry
floor. The operator should stand opposite the
heater head.
The operator must work safely at all times and
read this manual and follow its instructions and
warnings. A thorough understanding of how to
install, maintain, and safely operate the fryer will
prevent production delays and injuries.
Heed the following warnings and all other
warnings that appear in this manual:
•Make sure the machine is bolted securely
to the floor. Doing so will prevent the
machine from moving, tipping, or
falling, which could cause serious injury.
•To avoid damaging the machine, never
use force to assemble, disassemble,
operate, clean, or maintain it.
•Never let water and hot shortening come
in contact with each other. 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.
•Hot shortening can cause serious burns.
Make sure that the system and the
shortening are cool before attempting
any cleaning, adjustment, disassembly,
or repair.
•To avoid electrocution or other injury,
unplug the machine before attempting
any cleaning, adjustment, disassembly,
or repair.
•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 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.

1 Operation
Above: OMRON Digital Temperature Controller
READ EACH STEP COMPLETELY
BEFORE DOING WHAT IT TELLS
YOU TO DO.
1. Make sure the drain is closed. The drain
handle is at the side of the fryer (usually the
left side).
2. Put enough shortening in the kettle to
completely cover the heating elements,
thermocouple, and high-temperature limit
control probe. Use one of these 3 methods:
3. If you have a Belshaw EZMelt shortening
melter-filter, warm the shortening and then
transfer it to the kettle. (Refer to the EZMelt
operator’s manual).
WARNING
Hot shortening causes severe burns.
4. Melt shortening in a pan on the stove and
pour it into the kettle.
5. Put solid shortening manually into the kettle.
Pack it tightly around the heating elements,
thermocouple, and high-temperature limit
control probe.
WARNING
Cover the heating elements completely! If
you put solid shortening, do not leave any
air spaces. Any air can cause the
shortening to overheat and catch on fire.

6. When the elements have been completely
covered with shortening, move the on/off
switch to the ON position.
7. The “Power On” pilot light on the front of the
fryer will light up.
FOR THE NEXT STEPS, SEE THE
DIAGRAM OF THE DIGITAL
TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER ON THE
PREVIOUS PAGE
To adjust the target temperature (marked SV on
the controller), push the up and down arrows at
the bottom right.
1. Set the Digital Temperature Controller target
temperature to 250°F/121°C.
2. The “Heating” pilot light on the front of the
fryer will light up, indicating that the
shortening has not yet reached the selected
temperature.
3. Continue adding shortening to the kettle until
it reaches the proper depth for frying. Use
one of the 3 methods below. For safety
reasons, we recommend the first method, and
discourage you from using any other method.
4. Use a Belshaw EZMelt to melt shortening
and transfer it to the kettle. See the EZMelt
manual.
5. Melt shortening in a pan on the stove and
pour it into the kettle.
6. Very carefully, put solid shortening into the
kettle.
WARNING
To avoid serious burns, be very careful not
to splatter hot shortening when you add
shortening to the kettle.
Shortening expands as it increases in
temperature. Put shortening in the kettle
gradually. Let the shortening in the kettle heat
up before you add more.
7. After all of the shortening has melted, set the
digital temperature controller to the desired
frying temperature.
8. The “Heating” pilot light will go out if the
high temperature limit control breaks the
circuit.
9. Wait for the shortening to reach the desired
temperature.
WARNING
To avoid serious burns, when the fryer is
operating, do not any part of the fryer that
is in contact with hot shortening.
Note: The fryer will automatically shut
off the elements if temperature is too
high. To restart, wait for the shortening to
cool, then push the red reset button
inside the door.
10. If you are frying cake donuts, move the
depositor into place over the fryer. Refer to
the depositor manual for complete
installation and operation instructions.

2 Cleaning
For your safety, observe the following warnings
throughout the entire cleaning process.
WARNING
Thoroughly clean and dry the floor if
shortening, water, or other materials are
spilled. Materials spilled on the floor can
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 electrical box or
the heater head.
WARNING
To avoid being burned in an explosion,
never use any flammable materials for
cleaning.
Cleaning the Exterior
Surfaces
1. Clean the polished and painted surfaces of
the fryer with a soft, damp cloth. Use a non-
abrasive cleaner to remove any
discoloration.
2. Polish these surfaces with a soft, dry cloth.
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 using it again.
WARNING
Dry the frying screen thoroughly.
Moisture causes hot shortening to spatter,
which may cause serious injury.
4. Check the frying screen to make sure no
metal is flaking off of it. If the screen is
flaking, replace it immediately, so you do
not get metal particles in your product.
Cleaning the Kettle
There are four basic steps to cleaning the 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 fryer from the power source
before cleaning it.
1. Disconnect the machine from the power
source.
2. Let the shortening cool to 100°F/38°C.

3. Place a Belshaw Shortening Filter or a large
metal container under the drain valve of the
fryer.
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 to get on
the floor.
4. Open the drain valve by turning the drain
valve extension knob on the side of the fryer
cabinet. Allow all the shortening to drain
into the Shortening Filter or metal container.
5. If you are using a metal container, watch it
to make sure the shortening does not
overflow. If the container becomes full,
close the drain valve, put another metal
container under the drain valve, and open the
drain valve again.
WARNING
Do not allow the shortening to overflow the
containers. 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 is spilled. Shortening on the
floor can cause serious injury or loss of life.
6. If you have drained the shortening into a
metal container and you wish to re-use the
shortening, set the container of shortening
aside. Place another suitable container
under the drain valve.
7. Brush accumulated crumbs from the heating
elements. Accumulated crumbs causes
corrosion and poor heat recovery.
8. Tilt the heater head assembly out of the fryer
and lock it in place.
9. Using a non-abrasive, non-metallic spatula,
scrape the sediment and any remaining
shortening through the drain valve.
10. Close the drain valve.
Washing
1. Carefully pour hot water into the kettle, up
to the normal level of the shortening. Add
trisodium phosphate (TSP) or another
appropriate cleaner.
2. Scrub the inside of the kettle. Do not use
any abrasive cleaners or scrapers.
WARNING
To avoid being burned, be very careful as
you work with hot cleaning solution. Never
put your hands in the solution. Wear
gloves and long sleeves in case any solution
splashes.
3. Allow the cleaning solution to cool to
100°F/38°C.
4. Place a large metal container under the drain
valve.
WARNING
Do not use a plastic container. If the
cleaning solution is not cool enough, the
container will melt; possibly causing you to
be burned, and causing cleaning solution to
get on the floor.
5. Open the drain valve and allow the cleaning
solution to drain into the container.

drain valve.
8. Carefully carry the container(s) to the sink
and slowly pour the solution into the sink.
WARNING
Thoroughly clean and dry the floor if
cleaning solution is spilled. Liquid on the
floor can cause serious injury or loss of life.
Rinsing
1. Carefully pour clean, hot water into the
kettle, up to the normal level of the
shortening. If the cleaner you have used
requires that you add a neutralizer, do so
now.
2. Allow the water to sit for 5-10 minutes.
Then allow it to cool to 100°F/38°C.
3. Place a large metal container under the drain
valve.
WARNING
Do not use a plastic container. If the water
is not cool enough, the container will melt,
possibly causing you to be burned, and
causing cleaning solution to get on the
floor.
4. Open the drain valve and allow the water to
drain into the container.
5. Watch the container to make sure the water
does not overflow the container. If the
container becomes full, close the drain
valve, put another large metal container
under the drain valve, and open the drain
valve again.
WARNING
Do not allow the water to overflow the
container. Water will get on the floor, and
if the water is not cool enough, you may be
burned.
6. When the draining is complete, close the
drain valve.
7. Carefully carry the container(s) to the sink
and slowly pour the water into the sink.
WARNING
Thoroughly clean and dry the floor if water
is spilled. Water on the floor can cause
serious injury or loss of life.

3 Donut-Making Helps
Tips on Making Quality
Cake Donuts
•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.
If the batter is too warm, the donuts will lack
volume and may “ring out” or be misshapen.
If the batter is too cold, the donuts will stay
under the shortening too long, fry too
slowly, and crack open or ball up. They
may also absorb excess shortening and lose
volume.
•Use the correct floor time.
A floor time of 10 minutes between mixing
and cutting allows the baking powder to
react with the water. This helps the donuts
attain the proper volume the proper level of
shortening penetration.
If the floor time exceeds 30 minutes, the mix
will gas off, the donuts will lose volume and
shape and will absorb too much shortening.
•Use the correct frying temperature.
The correct shortening temperature for
frying is 370°-380°F/188°-193°C.
If the shortening is too hot, the donuts will
fry too quickly on the outside and will lose
volume. The donuts may also become dense
inside.
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.
•Maintain the proper shortening level. We
recommend a distance of 1 1/4” between the
depositor and the shortening.
If the shortening is too deep, the donuts may
not turn over when they reach the turner,
causing them to cook unevenly.
If the shortening is too shallow (too far
below the depositor), the donuts may not
drop flat, may turn over while submerging
and surfacing, and may become irregular,
cracked, or rough-crusted.
•Ensure that the donuts absorb the right
amount of shortening.
Donuts should absorb 1-1/2 to 3 oz/42 to 85
g of shortening per dozen, depending on
their weight. You can achieve proper
absorption by following tips 1-3.
•If the donuts do not absorb enough
shortening, they will not keep well.
If they absorb too much shortening, they will
lose volume and may become misshapen. If
this happens, follow tips 1-3, mix the batter
a little longer than usual, turn the donuts as
soon as they become golden brown, and turn
the donuts only once.

Temperature Conversion
To convert temperatures from Fahrenheit to
Celsius, subtract 32 from °F and divide the result
by 1.8. For example, 212°F-32/1.8 = 100°C.
To convert temperatures from Celsius to
Fahrenheit, multiply °C by 1.8 and add 32 to the
result. For example, (100°C x 1.8) + 32 = 212°F.

Assembling the Frying
Screen Handles
(Be aware that you may be using detachable
handles rather than fixed handles, particularly
when making raised donuts using screens which
are placed inside a proofer. In this case, your
handles should NOT be attached to screens.)
Frying Screens come with handles and hardware
unassembled. When assembled the location of
the handles should be as follows:
•For Model 618L and 718L Fryers, center the
handles along the long sides of the screen.
•For Models 624 and 724, center the handles
along any opposing sides of the screen.
•For Models 634 and 734, center the handles
along the short sides of the screen.
To assemble Frying Screens, refer to Figure 1
opposite.
1. Install #10-32 Nuts (B) on threaded handle
rods (A).
2. Locate clips (D) on the screen (C). Center the
handles as listed above for each type of fryer.
3. Insert threaded end of handle (A) with handle
to outside as shown, making sure that the
spacer (E) is in place.
4. Install #10-32 nuts (F) flush onto threaded
end of handle (A)
5. Tighten #10-32 Nuts (B) locking handle
assembly to screen.
