Adjusting Toast Quality

There are variations in bun products that are used
on the A.J Antunes HCT-5H toaster such as moisture
content, bun formulations, age, tolerances etc. The
HCT-5H was designed to compensate for bun variations
by allowing user to adjust the compression, light/dark
(speed) & temperatures settings in order to achieve a
Gold Standard toasted product.

1. LIGHT DARK ADJUSTMENT: Adjust the light dark
setting with the < or > buttons. The default light/dark
setting on the HCT-5H from the factory is 0 but can be
adjusted from Lighter (0-10) to Darker (0-10). Light 10
is the lightest setting and dark 10 is the darkest. Each
increase in “lighter” value will increase the pass through
time and each increase in “darker” value with decrease
the pass through time.

A Platen: 282°C (540°F) B Platen: 282°C (540°F)
C Platen: 254°C (490°F). The temperatures can be
increased to +/- 50°F (10°C) if needed to achieve an
acceptable toast quality.
