WARNING
Dry all parts thoroughly. Failure to dry all
parts of the Mark VI completely will cause
spattering or an eruption. Shortening will
overflow the sides of the fryer and may
result in fire, injury, or death.
7. To clean the drop plate, remove it by lifting
its forward end and sliding it toward the rear
of the conveyor. (See Figure 2-5. The
Donut Robot Mark V is shown.) Wipe the
drop plate with a damp cloth.
CAUTION
If the drop plate is scratched, donuts will
stick to it. To prevent this from happening,
always wipe the drop plate in the direction
of the grain in the metal, which runs
parallel to the length of the conveyor, and
never use abrasive cleaners.
Figure 2-5. Removing the Drop Plate.
8. After the shortening has drained off of the
conveyor assembly, set the conveyor
assembly aside.
. Check again to see that the shortening in the
kettle has cooled to 100
°F/38°C.
10. Remove the shortening from the fryer kettle.
Follow these steps:
a. Place a large metal bucket underneath
the drain valve.
b. Attach a filter to the bucket.
c. Slowly open the drain valve and allow
the shortening to drain out. (See Figure
2-1.)
d. If the bucket becomes full, close the
drain valve. Continue draining
shortening into another bucket.
WARNING
Do not use plastic buckets. If the
shortening is not cool enough, the buckets
will melt; possibly causing you to be
burned, and causing shortening to get on
the floor.
WARNING
Do not allow the shortening to overflow the
buckets. 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.
11. Brush off any carbon that has accumulated
on the heating element. Accumulated
carbon can cause corrosion and ineffective
heating.
12. Tilt the heater head assembly back, raising
the heating element out of the kettle.
