BEFORE INSTALLATION

NOTE: Upon receipt of this unit, immediately unpack and inspect for possible concealed shipping d amage. If unit
is found to be damaged, save all packing materials and contact your delivery carrier within 5 days. Refer to
“Shipping Damage Instructions” enclosed for detailed instructions. Failure to follow these in structions will negate
Savory’s or your ability to file claims and receive compensation for shipping damage.

This manual contains important safety and installation-operation instructions. Require all operators to read this
manual before using the unit. Failure to follow the instructions contained in this manual may cause injury, damage
to the unit, and will void the warranty.

INSTALLATION

Install this unit in the most convenient location for ease of cleaning, maintenance and general operation. Avoid
installing in locations with drafts, close proximity to grease or vapor-producing appliances or other high ambient
heat equipment. Allow approximately 1” clearance on sides and back of unit for proper air circulation. Allow
sufficient overhead clearance for proper heat dissipation. This toaster must be level for proper operation and
comes equipped with 1” adjustable legs for this purpose. (See enclosed instructi on sheet for details.)

Before operating this unit, be sure that the following two components are properly installed:

1. The reflector tray is installed below the lower heating elements before shipping. It merely slides under the
conveyor belt. NOTE: Proper toasting cannot be performed if reflector tray is not installed.

2. The toast receiving tray is packaged separately and must be installed before operating this unit. Slide the
receiving tray into the toaster cavity below the control panel, making sure the slotted end is towards the back.
Place the slotted end over the two protruding pins located at the rear of the toaster cavity
(see figure 1).

This toaster must be used with proper
voltage as specified on the unit data
plate located on the rear panel of
toaster. Use of any other voltage or
altering plug will damage unit, void
warranty, and may cause injury.

CONTROL PANEL FEATURES

SPEED CONTROL – Located at the upper portion of the control panel, this control regulates the speed of the
conveyor belt. If product is too dark, rotate this control counter-clockwise to a higher number. If product is too light,
rotate control clockwise to a lower number.

BUN-TOAST SWITCH – Press “Toast” for two-sided toasting or “Bun” for one-sided toasting.
MAIN POWER ON/OFF SWITCH – Located below the Bun-Toast Switch, this switch supplies power to the toaster.
The switch must be in the “On” position to operate the toaster.

TOASTING BREAD PRODUCTS

Toasting bread products may seem to be a simple process but the results can be easily affected by a number of
factors. The first consideration is the type of product being toasted. Varieties of bread such as whole wheat, rye,
white, english muffins, bagels and buns have different requirements to become perfectly toasted. Dryness or
moisture content of the bread (mostly described as “freshness,” with more moisture bei ng the fresher), sugar
content and the thickness of the slice or bun all play a predominate role during toasting.

Your RT-2VSE or RT-2VSHO toaster is designed to accommodate these varieties of bread products by adjusting
the conveyor speed to create lighter or darker toasting and to allow for toasting thicker products that contain more
moisture such as english muffins or fresh bagels. It is normal to operate the toaster in the lower ranges of the
speed control to perform toasting of these more difficult products.

Certain breads that contain fruit and nuts may require more attention. Loose pieces can fall on the heating
elements or into the conveyor mechanism and cause premature wear on the toaster. It is reco mmended that loose
pieces be removed before placing the bread on the conveyor.

Since it is nearly impossible to predetermine what conveyor speed produces perfect results, some experimentation
is necessary with all types of bread you will be toasting. Once all varieties of product have been tried and the
proper settings found, document the results and refer to them when toasting. Remember that allowances for
freshness might require additional adjustments.

When toasting a high volume of product, as in peak periods, additional adjustments may be required when demand
is reduced to an occasional toast order. If the toaster is operating, without bread passing through the conveyor,
heat builds up within the “empty” toaster. The occasional toast order now will brown more rapidly and may require
turning conveyor speed to a higher number to compensate. Conversely, when toasting occasional ord ers and
changing to high volume may require slowing the conveyor because the higher volume of bread actually cools
down the toaster.

When going through these transitional periods, adjust conveyor speed faster or slower accordingly. It is suggested
that you set the conveyor speed at a lower number for thicker products or when the toaster is co ol to a higher
number when toasting thinner products or when the toaster has been idle for a period of time.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT NOTICE: This unit is equipped with a 3-way On/Off Power Mode Switch. When switching from one
power to another, it is necessary to release pressure on the switch lever when moving through the OFF posit ion.

1. Set Power Switch to “FULL POWER” position.

2. Set Bun/Toast Switch to “Toast” for two-sided toasting or to “Bun” for one-sided toasting.

3. Set Speed Control to #5.

4. Allow a 20 minute warm-up period.

5. After warm-up period has elapsed, set Speed Control for desired setting. Some experimentation will be
necessary to obtain the desired results for individual products. Recommended initial setting can range from #3
to #6. Whole grain, rye and other products with low sugar content will require a lower conveyor speed setting
than would white flour products to produce medium toast color.

6. Place product on conveyor belt side by side. When toasting bun halves – place cut side up. If finished product
is too dark, increase Speed Control to a higher number. If product is too light, decrease Speed Control to a
lower number.

7. When toaster is not in constant use, set Bun/Toast Switch to “Toast” position and Power Switch to “Stand-
By.” When returning to Full Power position for normal operation mode, allow 5 minute warm-up period before
resuming toasting operation.
