DONUT FLIPPING
Occasionally a donut will not get turned over at the flipping segment of
the cycle. Check the oil level in the unit. You may have too much oil or too
little oil. Additionally, the donut may have gotten off-center. You may use a
pair of tongs, fork or wooden skewer to flip the donut over. Make sure that
you first stop the cooking cycle by turning the Dough Dispenser switch to
OFF and the Heat/Conveyor switch to PRE-HEAT. Also, wear oven mitts
for added safety. DO NOT touch the donut or oil with your fingers.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
1. Unplug the unit from the electrical outlet and wait one hour for oil to cool
completely before cleaning. Move all switches to the OFF position.
2. Turn the Oil Drainage Control Box switch to the
vertical position to allow the oil to drain.
NOTE: It is recommended that you use a pair
of tweezers to remove donut particles from the
drain hole. The oil drain has an L shaped tube
(attached to the hole) underneath the Oil Fill Pan.
This empties into the Oil Bin Drainage Pan. If
you attempt to poke or probe with a sharp object
such as a toothpick to clear the hold of donut
particles, you risk puncturing the tube. This tube cannot be replaced.
3. Clean Oil Fill Pan using a non-abrasive cloth or sponge. You can remove the
Oil Bin Drainage Pan under the Dough Dispenser once the Motor Dispenser
Head has been moved and the Dough Dispenser has been removed.
4. When the oil has drained completely, remove the Oil Bin Drainage
Pan by pulling out from the unit. Pour the used oil and dough
particles into a can and dispose of in a safe manner.
5. To remove the Safety Windows for cleaning, open the window nearest the
motor dispenser and gently unsnap and remove from the back hinges. The
second Safety Window may be slightly tighter to unsnap and remove, but
with gentle pressure, this window removes for cleaning in the same way.
6. To replace both Safety Windows after cleaning, fit the back hinge of the curved
window into the slot and lower the front gently adding pressure until it snaps
into place. Return the remaining Safety Window in place the same way.
7. Unlatch and rotate the Motor Dispenser Head counter clockwise. Remove the
Dough Dispenser. Empty any remaining dough and wash the Dough Dispenser
with hot soapy water. (See Donut Dispenser Breakdown for cleaning below)
8. The Dough Dispenser, Oil Bin Drainage Pan, Donut Slide,
Donut Bin and Drainage Tray can all be submerged in hot,
soapy water to clean. Dry with a clean cloth or towel.
9. Hold and tilt the AUTOMATIC MINI DONUT FACTORY™ over
the trash receptacle to empty and clean out the remaining dough
particles that have fallen inside the bottom of the unit using a gentle
shake. CAUTION: Vigorous shaking could damage the unit.
10. Wipe the exterior clean using a non-abrasive dry cloth or sponge.
