sides of the heated platen at the same time. Buns are
placed into the top of the toaster and uniform, golden
brown, warm buns are then retrieved at the base of the
toaster.

Temperature Adjustments
The VCT-2000 uses a Platen Heater and two Auxiliary
Air Heaters. The Platen Heater consists of a heating
element built into the Platen to toast the cut side of
the bun. The two Auxiliary Heaters assist in providing additional heat to the buns. The first Auxiliary Air
Heater is located between the conveyor in the front
of the toaster. The second Auxiliary Heater is located
between the conveyor at the rear of the unit.
RECOMMENDED TEMPERATURES
Recommended temperature setting for the Platen heater is 600°F (315°C).
Recommended temperature setting for the Auxiliary Air
Heaters is 400°F (204°C).
NOTE: The term “set point temperature” refers to the
desired temperature setting.
To display the actual Platen temperature—providing it is
over 440°F (227° C)—press the TEMP UP button.
To display the actual Auxiliary Air Heater temperature—
providing it is over 360°F (182°C)—press the TEMP DOWN button.
To switch the temperature display between Fahrenheit
(°F) and Celsius (°C), press and hold the TEMP SCALE
button for 5 seconds.

Fault messages
• If the Platen Thermocouple is disconnected or
“open”, the display will flash “HI.” The Platen
Thermocouple must be reattached or replaced.
• If the Platen Heater temperature exceeds 620°F
(327°C) the display will flash “HI” and the heating
circuit will turn off (Figure 7). After the toaster has
cooled down, the unit must be turned off, then back
on to restart. If this condition repeats, contact your
Authorized Service Agency.
• If the Auxiliary Heating temperature exceeds 420°F
(215°C) the display will alternately flash “HI” and
“USE” (Figure 7). After the toaster has cooled
down, the unit must be turned off, then back on
to restart. If this condition repeats, contact your
Authorized Service Agency.
• The temperature controller has an ambient
temperature sensor that will disable the heating
circuits if the control compartment ambient
temperature becomes excessive: 140°F (60°C)
to 180°F (82°C).
When this occurs, the temperature display will flash
“CHEC” (Figure 8). To restart the unit, ambient must
drop to 140°F (60°C) and the unit must be turned
off, then back on. If this condition repeats, contact
your Authorized Service Agency.
“HI” will flash if platen
temperature exceeds 620°F
(327°C) or if platen thermocouple is disconnected or “open”.
Figure 7. “HI” Fault Message
“CHEC” will flash when
control compartment
ambient temperature is
excessive: 140°F (60°C) to
180°F (82°C). All heaters will
shut off.
“HI” and “USE” will flash if
auxiliary heaters temperature
exceeds 440°F (227°C) or if
the Auxiliary Thermocouple
is disconnected or “open.”
• If incoming power drops below 175 Volts, the heating circuits are disabled and the display will read
“PO” (Figure 9). To reset, the voltage must be over
190 Volts, then the unit must be turned off and back
on. If this condition repeats, contact your Authorized
Service Agency.
• The “PH” fault message (Figure 9) is displayed if
the Conveyor Interlock Safety Switch (Figure 1)
is not properly engaged . When a PH fault exists,
reposition the Heat Shield so that it fully engages
the Conveyor Safety Interlock Switch. The unit
should return to normal operation when the Heat
Shield is positioned correctly.
If the “PH” Fault does not clear, contact your
Authorized Service Agency for service.

WARNING
Turn the power off, unplug the power cord, and
allow the unit to cool down 30 minutes before
performing any service or maintenance.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the unit, do NOT use abrasive cleaners on the Release Sheet or Belt Wrap.
CAUTION
Failure to use Release Sheets may result in damage to the unit and loss of warranty coverage.
Daily
CLEANING THE BLACK AND SILVER RELEASE SHEET,
CONVEYOR BELT WRAPS, AND TOASTER
Tools Required:
• Heat-resistant gloves
• Clean towels
• Multipurpose Detergent Solution
• Sanitizer Solution
1. Turn the Rocker Switch off, unplug the power
cord, and allow the unit to cool for 30 minutes.
2. Put on heat-resistant gloves. Remove the Bun
Feeder, Heat Shield, and Bun Chute (some models). Wipe them with a damp sanitized towel and
allow them to air dry.
3. Remove the Release Sheet and place it on a
clean, flat dry surface. Wipe the silver side with
a clean towel dampened with Multipurpose Detergent Solution immediately followed by a
second clean towel dampened with sanitizer and
allow it to air dry before continuing. Repeat this
step on the black side of the Release Sheet once
the silver side is dry.
4. Open the front Conveyor Cover and firmly wipe
the black Belt Wrap from left to right and top
to bottom with a clean towel dampened with
Multipurpose Detergent Solution immediately
followed by a second clean towel dampened with
sanitizer.
6. Close the rear Conveyor Cover, reinstall the Heat
Shield, plug in the power cord, turn the unit on,
until the uncleaned portion of the Belt Wrap is
accessible. Then turn the unit off and unplug the
unit.
7. Remove the Heat Shield, then open the rear
Conveyor Cover and clean the newly exposed
section of the Belt Wrap in the same manner as
before. Close the Conveyor Cover.
8. Open the front Conveyor Cover again and clean
the newly exposed section of the Belt Wrap in the
same manner as before.
9. Close the front Conveyor Cover and wipe down
the outside of the toaster with a clean, damp,
sanitized towel.
10. Install the Release Sheet by draping it over both
sides of the Platen with the crease centered on
the Platen.
NOTE: Rotate from the black side to the silver side
daily or weekly to prolong the life of the Release
Sheet.
11. Install the Bun Chute so the hooks are installed
over the lower rear yellow Support Rod. Install
the Heat Shield with the Release Sheet Retainer
clips securely over the Release Sheet and
Platen.
12. Reinstall the Bun Feeder and plug in the unit.
NOTE: Make sure the Heat Shield is activating the
Conveyor Safety Interlock Switch. The Conveyors
will not rotate unless the Heat Shield is in place
and the Conveyor Safety Interlock Switch is activated.
NOTE: Check the Release Sheet to make sure it is
not caught in the Conveyor. Additional Release
Sheets can be obtained through your Authorized
Service Agency under P/N 7000249 (3-Pack) or
7000250 (10-Pack).
5. Close the front Conveyor Cover, open the rear
Conveyor Cover, and clean the Belt Wrap as
described in Step 4.

MAINTENANCE (continued)
WARNING
Turn the power off, unplug the power cord and
allow the unit to cool down before performing any
service or maintenance.
Conveyor Belt Chains (Every 3–6 months)
MEASURING CONVEYOR BELTS CHAINS
Facing the toaster, locate the approximate center point
of the Conveyor Chain. Pull the Conveyor Chain away
from the edge of the toaster. Stand a U.S. Dime,
11/16” (1.8 cm) coin on end between the frame and the
chain. If the gap is significantly wider than the coin,
REMOVE links as described below. Then, measure
the gap again to make sure it is not too tight. Check
the opposite side of the toaster using the same measurements.
4. Reassemble the Conveyor Belt Chain onto the
sprockets as described below.
NOTE: If the belt is too short to be reassembled,
remove an additional 1/2” small link and install a
3/4” large link. This will shorten the belt 1/4”.
REPLACING CONVEYOR BELT CHAINS
1. Remove the old Conveyor Belt Chain as
described in the previous steps.
2. Place the replacement Conveyor Belt Chain on
the top sprockets with hook ends down. Check for
correct positioning (Figure 14).
NOTE: The ends of the hooks must point down.
(Figure 14).
3. Wrap the Conveyor Belt Chain around lower
sprockets and connect by hooking both ends
together.
NOTE: Make sure the Conveyor Belt Chain is
installed under the Upper Support Rod and over the
Lower Support Rod.
ADJUSTING CONVEYOR BELT CHAINS
After a time, the Conveyor Chain links will wear and
the Conveyor Belt chain will stretch, eventually skipping
on the sprockets. This is easily remedied by removing
one or more conveyor links from each side of the belt.
There are two 1/2” small links on each side of the conveyor belt. The others are large, 3/4” long (Figure 14).
REMOVING CONVEYOR BELT CHAINS
1. Perform steps 1 - 4 under Replacing Belt Wraps
on the previous page.
2. Disconnect the Conveyor Belt Chain by squeezing any two links together and unhooking both
ends of one link (Figure 14).
3. To shorten a stretched Conveyor Belt Chain,
remove one 1/2” link from the belt.

MEASURING ROLLER TENSIONERS
1. Measure the Roller Tensioner on both inner
Conveyor Covers (See illustration). Adjust or
replace any damaged ones as recommended.
The space between the inner Conveyor Cover
and bottom of the tensioner wheel should be
13/16” (2.1 cm) or the height of a U.S. Nickel.

REPLACING ROLLER TENSIONERS
1. Remove the acorn nuts and old Roller Tensioner
