Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently derived from combining 'donut' (a small fried sweet cake) with 'fryer' (a device that fries food): a fryer for making donuts. This noun–noun composition is a straightforward, productive pattern in English (and common across languages), so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the compound's meaning.
Etymology
Donut fryer comes from the simple image of a busy shop where cooks drop rings of dough into hot oil and then use a machine to cook many at once. The words donut and fryer show this scene, so donut fryer means 'a machine used for frying large quantities of doughnuts'.
