Type B Donut Cutter OM MN-1527EN 1
1 Operation
For best results, and to keep your machine in
perfect running condition, observe the following:
• Be sure that wing nuts and thumb nuts are
kept tight when the cutter is running.
• Rotate the crank before filling the hopper
with dough to be sure that it turns freely.
• The numbered scale on the side of the
cutter head regulates the weight of the
donuts. To change, loosen the wing nut
and set pointer at desired number (larger
numbers product larger donuts).
Retighten the wing nut.
• The outer lip of the cutting cylinder
should clear the shortening in the fryer by
the following distances:
Cake plungers, sizes 7/8” to 1” require 1”
clearance.
Cake plungers, 1 1/8” through 2 ¼” require 1
¼” to 1 3/8” clearance.
French Cruller plunger, all sizes, require 1
½” clearance.
This height is adjusted with the set collar on
the column or wall mount bushing.
• After putting dough into an empty
hopper, any air trapped in the cylinder
should be expelled. To do this, hold the
dough bowl under the cutter, and turn the
donut cutter crank until it has dropped
two or three donuts into the bowl (this
dough can then be replaced in the
hopper). After this initial priming, dough
can be added without repriming as long
as the hopper hasn’t been emptied.
• When ready to start frying, swing the
cutter over the frying kettle and turn the
crank to start depositing donuts. Move
the cutter approximately 4” after each
donut is dropped. Swing the cutter back
from over the fryer when done cutting
donuts.
• To use the last of the dough in the
hopper, push the remaining dough to the
bottom of the hopper. Use a rubber
scraper (spatula) to avoid scratching
hopper.
• Once a week, remove the main frame
from the pivot arm and hold in horizontal
position (with trip arms facing down),
and allow any accumulated oil to run
from the cam case. Wipe any excess oil
from trip arms and cam case.
WARNING
Never put your hand in the hopper or
between trip arms while cutter is being
cranked.
