Introduction - Belshaw Brothers Donut Robot Mark VI Operator's Manual

1
The Donut Robot® Mark VI is designed to
produce donut products. It is not designed to
deposit or fry any other products.
The Donut Robot is designed to be used on a flat,
stationary table or countertop, with the operator
standing opposite the heater head of the machine.
The operator must work safely at all times and
read this manual and follow its instructions and
warnings.
The Donut Robot® Mark VI 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.
Study the instructions and warnings in this
manual carefully. A thorough understanding of
how to install, maintain, and safely operate the
Donut Robot® will prevent production delays and
injuries.
To use the Donut Robot® safely, heed the
following warnings and all other warnings that
appear in this manual:
• Make sure the machine is secured to the
work surface. Doing so will prevent the
machine from moving 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 adjustment, repair, disassembly, or
cleaning.
• To avoid electrocution or other injury,
unplug the machine 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,
clean the area 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.
• Always turn the thermostat knob below
200°F/93°C before filtering shortening,
draining the fryer, or cleaning the fryer.
Draining shortening with the heating
element on may cause fire, serious
injury, or even death.
• Before attempting to remove the
conveyor assembly from the fryer,
always allow the shortening to cool and
drain the shortening out of the fryer. If
you do not, shortening may splash on
you and on the floor, creating a safety
hazard. If the shortening is hot, you may
suffer serious burns.
