General
The Vertical Contact Toaster, is designed for contact
toasting of buns. The toaster design allows the operator to place buns on both 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 from the bottom of the toaster in
approximately 15 seconds (VCT-1000) or 45 seconds
(VCT-50).

each other.
NOTE: After initial run of 4-6 buns, adjust controls
according to the desired finished product.
5. Toasted product will drop into the Bun Landing
Area (Figure 2).
6. Test at least 4 buns before putting toaster into service. Turn Temperature Control to lower setting
for lighter toasting or to higher setting for darker
toasting.

MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
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.
CAUTION
Failure to use Release Sheets may result in damage
to the unit and loss of warranty coverage.
Daily
NOTE: Pre-buttering/pre-oiling buns before feeding
them into the toaster leads to butter/oil accumulation on the Release Sheet. This is normal, however
excessive buildup can lead to buns sticking and
burning. It is recommended that the Release Sheet
be replaced or cleaned once for every 6 hours of
operation. Dirty Release Sheets can be soaked in
hot, soapy water for later cleaning. Continue to
rotate Release Sheets, alternating between sides to
maximize usage.
Tools Required:
• Heat-Resistant Gloves
• Clean Towels
• Multipurpose Detergent Solution
• Sanitizer Solution
1. Turn the power off, unplug the power cord, and
clean the Release Sheet and Belt Wraps while
they are warm.
2. Put on heat-resistant gloves and remove the
Butter Wheel, Pan, and Heat Shield (Figure 1).
3. Wash the Butter Wheel, Pan, and Heat Shield in
a sink and wipe them with a damp sanitized towel
and allow them to air dry.
4. Remove the Release Sheet and place it on a
clean, flat dry surface.
5. Wipe the silver side of the Release Sheet 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.
6. Once the silver side is dry, repeat Step 5 on the
black side of the Release Sheet.
7. Wipe down the outside of the toaster with a
clean, damp, sanitized towel.
8. Install the Release Sheet by draping it over both
sides of the Platen with the crease centered on
the Platen.
NOTE: To prolong the life of the Release Sheet,
rotate it from the black side to the silver side on a
daily or weekly basis.
9. Install the Bun Chute so the hooks are installed
over the lower rear yellow Support Rod.
10. Install the Heat Shield with the Release Sheet
retainer clips securely over the Release Sheet
and Platen.
11. Reinstall the Butter Wheel and Pan, 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 purchased through your Authorized
Service Agency under P/N 7000249 (3-Pack) or
7000250 (10-Pack).
Replacing the Black and Silver Release
Sheet (Every 4–6 weeks)
NOTE: Depending on toaster usage and on how
well it is cleaned daily, the black and silver Release
Sheet should last between 30–45 days.
1. Remove and discard the Release Sheet.
2. Lay a new Release Sheet on a clean, dry surface
and fold it in half lengthwise and gently crease it
at the fold using only your fingers (Figure 4).
3. Install the Release Sheet just as you would after
daily cleaning.
Fold over so
ends meet.

MAINTENANCE (continued)
Checking the Conveyor Belt Chains
(Every 3–6 Months)
NOTE: The Bun Thickness Compression Knobs
(Figure 3) must be set to “6 & 6” prior to measuring or removing or reinstalling the Conveyor Belt
Chains.
MEASURING CONVEYOR BELT CHAINS
1. Turn the unit off, unplug the power cord, and
allow the unit to cool.
2. Remove the Butter Wheel, Pan, and Heat
Shield (Figure 1) and set the Bun Thickness
Compression Knobs to 6 & 6.
3. Open both Conveyor Covers.
4. Facing the toaster, locate the approximate centerpoint of the Conveyor Chain.
5. Pull the Conveyor Chain away from the edge of
the toaster (Figure 5).
6. Stand a U.S. Dime on end between the frame
and the chain (Figure 5).
7. If the gap is significantly wider than the coin,
REMOVE links as described below.
8. Disconnect the Conveyor Belt Chain by squeezing any two links together and unhooking both
ends one link (Figure 6). Needle-nose pliers may
be used.
NOTE: There are two small 1/2” links on each side
of the Conveyor Belt Chain. The rest are large 3/4”
links.
9. Remove one 1/2” link from the belt.
10. Reassemble the Conveyor Belt Chain onto the
sprockets as described in Replacing Conveyor
Belt Chains.
11. Measure the gap again to ensure it is not too
tight.
12. Check the opposite side of the toaster using the
same steps.
NOTE: If the Conveyor Belt Chain is too tight to be
reassembled, remove an additional small 1/2” link
and install a large 3/4” link in its place. This will
shorten the Conveyor Belt Chain by 1/4” overall.
