AUTOMATXG, TOASTER MODEL T~_

The Model~ T9 Sunbeam Silent Automatic Toaster differs from pwevioUs Sunbeam
toasters in design and in the addition of a selective "po.~-up" feature by

which the toast may be made either to rise automatically or to remain inside

the~toaster at the end of the toas$ing period by the setting of a control
knob. The thermostat timing mec~mnism is so arranged that it will toast

bre .ad..~.t,.o .the same reasonably uniform degree of brownness whether the toaster
is hot or cold. No toaster, however, will automatlc’~lly and effectively
compensate for voltage fluctuations or for considerable differences in

bread (as between whole wheat and white bread, or fresh and dry bread),
but such variations can be taken care of by a change in thin set.ring of .the

Bakelite adjustment knob on the side of the Sunbeam Toaster. For large
voltage variations a second adjustment can be made readily as described in-

the Toaster instruction booklet, (one of these booklets is attached to next

page) and as explained in Section 3N-3 of this bulletin.

HOW TO SERVICE MODEL ~T9 SUNBEAM AUTOMATIC TOASTER

Plug toaster co~d into electric power circuit of same’ voltage as that marked

on name plate at bottom of toaster. The electric power circuih must have
sufficient capacity fdr ~upplying the Toaster with.the wattage it require~

The main thermostat blade (key number 47) is heated by the ’thermostat heater
element (5), the heat is reflected to the thermostat by the reflector (3)
and the amount of ~heat reaching the thermostat blade is 96gulated by moving

this reflector through the cam (13) ’turned by t~e thermostat adjustment"

knob (24). The temperature at which the thermostat snaps off is regulate~
by the tension of the coiled spring (48) which can be adjusted byturning.
the nut (49A). The thermostat blade will snap with a ’~61ick" against the

flat s.urface of its supporting casting. But before it reaches this surface

the thermostat blade hits the end of lever (33) which opens the switch and

if the ’control (2~D) is set to "pop-up" the toast ra~k will move up, coming

to a slow stop. The cushioning cylinder (56A) dampens the action of the

"pop-up" spring. If the control k~ob (24D) is inthe position marked "Keeps

Toast Warm", the movable handle (15) must be raised by hand to remove the
toast. The thermostat blade (~7) cools rapidly and snaps back into its orig-

inal position with a second "click" a few seconds after the flrst~ thus re­setting the thermostat, The ~ext toast must not be started until after this

second click. The auxili~-~ t-~e ~rmos-~at ~ compensates for the temperature
rise in the metal parts of the toaster~ Without the auxiliary thermostat,

the toast would tend to become lighter as successive slices, were made.

To remove bottom cover and thermostat bracket a~sembly (12). Use Tool No. 1

(see list of tools at the end of this bulletin) to remove the four Gulmite

screws(6OA) near the edges of the thermostat bracket and the..crumb tray and ¯
bracket (12) may be removed from the plastic base (16). ’Th~ thermostat b~acket

should be carefully lifted out, sliding the thermostat blade ~(47) over .the end
of the switch locking lever (33). Remoi~lng the thermostat bracket (12~ pe~ts

inspection of the heat adjustment cam (13), the reflector assembly (3) and the
thermostat heater element (5)° : ~ ’ ¯ ~ ¯

2-A1.The thermostat blade (47) may be removed from the assembly by first loosening

the spanner nut (49A) for tension on adjusting spring (~). Then

shield (64) from the auxilia~ thermostat (46), and remove shoulder screw (44)

and its nut (~AA), This will relieve pressure of set screw (55) on the main

thermostat blade (47) which may now be lifted out from under the .thermostat

stop (43). ’ ~"
