PARTS & SERVICE MANUAL for C-20VS Vertical Conveyor Toaster
The C-20VS is a high volume, vertical conveyor bread
and bun toaster constructed of durable and lustrous
stainless steel. This toaster is available in both 208V and
240V models. 120 V Models are available for shipboard
use only. Refer to the chart on page 7 for parts that
apply exclusively to 120V shipboard toasters.
The C-20VS has a variable conveyor speed control which
allows the toasting of not only bread, but English
muffins, bagels and buns, with only one pass through
the conveyor. Standard features include variable heat,
and bun-toast switch for selecting one or two-sided
toasting.
The C-20VS is engineered for efficient, dependable
service through out the years. Like any piece of fine
equipment with moving parts and broad temperature
ranges, physical wear takes its toll. When this happens,
the information found in this manual will prove very
helpful. Although the instructions are easy to follow, all
repair procedures should be carried out by a qualified
Savory Service Representative.
