Preface
The 718LCG, 724CG, and 734CG Gas 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
flue stack.
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.
•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.
•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 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.
•Make sure you are aware of the following:
This product contains chemicals known to
the State of California to cause birth defects

1 Operation
Taking Safety Precautions
In a prominent location, post information about
what to do if there is a gas leak. 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
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.
Filling with Shortening
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.
Read each step completely before doing what it
tells you to do.
1 Make sure the drain valve is closed.
2 Put enough shortening in the kettle to
completely cover the burner tubes,
thermocouple, and high-temperature limit
control probe. Use one of these 3 methods:
*If you have a Belshaw EZMelt
shortening melter-filter, warm the
shortening and then transfer it to the
kettle. (For EZMelt operating
instructions, refer to the EZMelt
operator’s manual)
WARNING
Hot shortening causes severe burns.
*Melt shortening in a pan on the stove and
pour it into the kettle.
*Put solid shortening into the kettle,
packing it tightly around the burner
tubes.
WARNING
Air spaces can cause the shortening to
overheat and catch on fire.
CAUTION
To avoid severe damage to the kettle, never
turn on the heat unless the heat tubes are
completely covered by liquid.
3. Move the on/off switch to the OFF position.
4. Rotate the gas control knob counterclock-
wise to the ON position.
5. Move the on/off switch to the ON position.
The yellow pilot light near the on/off switch
and the red pilot light on the fryer cabinet
will both light up.

Above: OMRON Digital Temperature Controller
6. (See diagram above) On the digital
temperature controller, push the up and down
arrow keys to adjust the target frying temperature
(SV). A common target frying temperature is
375°F (190°C).
If the Pilot Light Fails to
Ignite
If the pilot fails to ignite within a certain length
of time, the gas system will go into safety lock-
out. If this happens, move the on/off switch to
OFF, wait at least one minute, and then move the
on/off switch to ON again.
WARNING
Failure to wait at least one minute for the
gas to dissipate could result in a fire or an
explosion when the pilot is lighted again.
High Temperature Limit
Switch
If the shortening temperature exceeds
435°F/224°C, the high-temperature limit control
will break the circuit, and the electrical and gas
systems will shut off.
If this happens, follow these steps to reset the
system:
a. Move the on/off switch to the OFF
position.
b. Wait for the shortening to cool to
385°F/196°C or below. You will not be
able to ignite the pilot until the
shortening reaches this temperature.
c. Push the red High Limit Reset Button
located just above the temperature
controller.
d. Move the on/off switch to the ON
position.
Adding Shortening to the
Fryer
Continue adding shortening to the kettle until it
reaches the proper depth for frying. Use one of
the following methods. For safety reasons, we
recommend the first method, and discourage you
from using any other method.
WARNING
To avoid serious burns, be very careful not
to splatter hot shortening when you add
shortening to the kettle.

Belshaw Adamatic Bakery Group •www.belshaw.com •Phone [phone] •Fax [phone]
718L/724/734CG Gas Fryers OM MN-1142EN 3
*If you have a Belshaw EZMelt
shortening melter-filter, warm the
shortening and then transfer it to the
kettle. (For EZMelt operating
instructions, refer to the EZMelt
operator’s manual)
*Melt shortening in a pan on the stove and
pour it into the kettle.
*Very carefully put solid shortening into
the kettle.
Because 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.
WARNING
To avoid serious burns, when the fryer is
operating, do not touch the flue, exhaust
manifold, stacks, gas burners, or any part
of the fryer that is in contact with hot
shortening. Keep clear from the area
above the flue outlet.
Wait for the shortening to reach the desired
temperature.
Fill up to “OIL LEVEL”
Marks
Continue supplying shortening to the kettle as
required. Keep the kettle filled up to the “Oil
Level” marks on the side.
When you have finished frying, move the on/off
switch to the OFF position.

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.
WARNING
To avoid serious burns while cleaning, do
not touch the flue, exhaust manifold,
stacks, gas burners, or any part of the fryer
that is in contact with hot liquids.
There are four basic steps to cleaning the fryer:
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 250°F(120°C).
3. Place a Belshaw EZMelt Filter under the
drain valve of the fryer. (See your EZMelt
Operator’s Manual)
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 EZMelt.
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. Using a non-abrasive, non-metallic spatula,
scrape the sediment and any remaining
shortening into the drain valve.

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
cutter 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 cutter), 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.

on either end of the machine for any
equipment you plan to use with it.
Initial Cleaning
Clean your fryer before using it. Wipe the inside
of the kettle with a soft, damp cloth. Dry the
kettle thoroughly.
WARNING
To avoid electrocuting yourself or
damaging the machine, never allow water,
steam, cleaning solution, or other liquid to
enter the electrical box.
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.
Assembling the Fryer
1. Install the flue stack as follows:
a. Slide the flange on the bottom of the flue
stack underneath the retaining strip on
the flue base. The mounting holes must
line up. (See Figure 1-1.)
b. Fasten the flue stack to the flue base
using the two pan-head sheet metal
screws provided.
Figure 1-1. Installing the Flue Stack.
2. Attach the heat shield to the splash shield as
follows:
a. Slide the flanges on the sides of the heat
shield under the bent edges of the splash
shield. The mounting holes must line
up.
b. Fasten the heat shield to the splash shield
using the 10-24 x 3/8” hex-head screws,
lockwashers, and nuts provided. The
screws go through the front of the splash
shield; the lockwashers and nuts go on
the back of the heat shield.
3. Put the heat shield and splash shield on the
fryer. They slide over the flue stack, and the
back of the kettle slides between the heat
shield and the splash shield. The mounting

Splash Shield.
4. Fasten the heat shield to the fryer cabinet
using the four hex-head sheet metal screws
provided.
Installing the Fryer
1. Make sure the power requirements of the
machine, found on the data plate, match
your power source.
2. Using a fork lift or pallet jack, lift the fryer
cabinet and screw each leg in as far as it will
go.
3. Set the fryer cabinet on a flat, dry floor.
4. Level the fryer. Follow these steps:
a. Check to see if the fryer is level. To do
so, place a level across the top of the
fryer cabinet.
b. If the fryer is not level, lift the fryer
using a fork lift or pallet jack, and turn
the legs to adjust them.
c. Using the fork lift or pallet jack, lower
the fryer to the floor. Be sure that all the
legs rest on the floor when the fryer is
level.
5. Bolt the fryer to the floor. The foot of each
leg has two holes in it for this purpose.
WARNING
To avoid serious burns, other injury, or
death, make sure the fryer is securely
fastened to the floor so it will not tip or fall
over.
6. If you want to perform pressure testing on
the building’s gas supply system at pressures
greater than 13.0 IWC (3.45 kPa).do so now,
before you connect the fryer to the gas
supply.
CAUTION
To avoid damaging the fryer, do not
perform pressure testing on the building’s
gas supply system at pressures greater than
13.0 IWC /3.45 kPa when the fryer is
connected to the that system.
7. Connect the fryer to the gas supply, as
follows:
a. Make sure the gas line to the fryer is the
right size. If it is too small, the gas
pressure at the burner manifold will be
too low, resulting in slow heat recovery,
delayed ignition, and pilot outage. (The
gas supply line on the fryer itself is
1/2”/1.3 cm I.P.S.)
b. Connect the fryer to the building’s gas
supply.
c. Seal all threaded joints between gas
pipes with pipe joint compound. You
