•

Keep clear window at top of machine open while cooking to

maintain proper oil temperature. If oil is too hot, donuts will not

cook properly. (Temperature should remain around 375˚ F)

•

Turn the Conveyor/Heat switch to the right (PRE-HEAT). The

light positioned above the dials will turn red.

•

Open and pull down the Donut Slide.

•

Put the Drainage Tray inside of the Donut Bin and position the

Donut Bin directly underneath the Donut Slide.

•

When the light turns from red to green, the oil has reached the correct temperature

for cooking donuts. Turn the Conveyor/Heat switch to the left (ON).

•

Fill the Dough Dispenser with your favorite donut batter

to max fill line or to within 1 inch of the top.

•

Periodically stir the batter and keep the Dough Dispenser full of

dough while cooking donuts for best performance.

•

Before making donuts, check consistency of batter (SEE BELOW). When

you are ready to make donuts, turn the Dough Dispenser switch ON.

•

When Dough Dispenser switch is ON, the machine will be activated

and the conveyor will begin moving the Spatula Fingers.

•

Note that the conveyor moves slowly and a fresh donut will be dispensed every 90 seconds.

DO NOT touch moving parts or hot oil, as SEVERE injury and burns can occur. Keep

hands and face away from machine while in operation. Donuts are VERY HOT.

CHECKING CONSISTENCY OF BATTER & DONUT SHAPE

Before making donuts with the AUTOMATIC MINI DONUT FACTORY™, you

will need to test the shape and consistency of the donuts.

•

To test the shape of the donuts, after filling the Dough Dispenser, push

trigger down for 3. 5 seconds, gently releasing dough onto a plate.

•

Observe the dough release as it drops down and then goes back up. (You are bringing

dough down to the bottom and checking the dough discharge with this step.)

•

After the release is closed, wipe clean any dough from the bottom

of the Dough Dispenser, around the trigger area.

HELPFUL TIPS

DONUT SHAPE

The AUTOMATIC MINI DONUT FACTORY™ uses a "drop" process for forming and cooking the

donuts. It does not cut donut shapes. Therefore, each mini donut will be unique. You should

also expect a small amount of excess batter or misshaped donuts when using the machine.

DISPENSING DOUGH

If the dough is not dispensing properly, check consistency of donut batter. Dough should be

slightly thicker than pancake batter. Also check the bottom of the Dough Dispenser. Clean

between cooking cycles to avoid dough build up and clogging.
