OPERATION

Operating Instructions

1. Set the Bun Thickness Adjustment Controls
(Figures 2 & 3) to desired setting.

NOTE: Recommended settings are 2 for Heel and
F for Crown.

2. Turn the power on and allow the toaster to
warm-up for 30 minutes before proceeding.

NOTE: The temperature display (Figure 2) will flash
“LO” until the toaster reaches its preset operating
temperature. When the toaster approaches the pre­set temperature of 600°F (315°C), “USE” appears
in the temperature display and the unit is ready to
toast buns. If “USE” does not appear in the window
after warm-up period of approximately 30 minutes,
contact your Authorized Service Agency.

3. Drop Crowns and Heels into the slot (Figure

2). Cut sides of heel and crown must face each
other.

4. Toasted buns will drop into the Bun Landing Area
(Figure 2) in approximately 10 seconds.

5. Test at least four buns before putting the toaster
into service.

6. Turn the power off when finished toasting for the
day and proceed with the Daily Cleaning as out­lined in the Maintenance section of this manual.

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).
