Installation

Toaster Grills

Models 247-ACC & 248-BCC

Remove the unit from the carton and inspect for signs of
damage. If there is damage to the unit:

• Notify the carrier within 24 hours of delivery.

• Save carton and packaging materials for inspection purposes.

• Contact your local dealer, or if purchased directly, the Prince
Castle Sales Department at 1-800-722-7853 or 630-462-8800
to arrange for a replacement unit.

Before first use, clean and condition the platens (see
Conditioning Platens).

Setting the Controls

The model 247-ACC & 248-BCC Toaster Grills provide two
modes of operation: DEDICATED MODE and PRODUCT
MODE.

• DEDICATED MODE is a simple mode of operation for
toasting buns that is similar to the 213, 411 & 416 Series
Toaster Grills, with a set toast time and temperature for one
product “BUN1”.

• PRODUCT MODE allows you to set both the toasting time
and temperature individually for four additional products. Note
that it may take several minutes for the platen to heat up or
cool down to a new temperature setting. You can also change
the display to any four character name of your choice for each
of the products to indicate which product is being toasted.

NOTE: When using this unit, the ambient temperature at the
mounting site should not exceed 43°C (110°F).

CAUTION

All electrical connections must be in accordance with local
electrical codes and any other applicable codes.

Plug the unit into an applicable electrical receptacle.
