OPERATION

A. LOCATION AND FUNCTION OF

CONTROLS

This section provides a basic description of the toaster
controls, their location, and the functions they perform.
The operator MUST be familiar with the controls. See
Figure 3-1.

1. ON/OFF/STANDBY Knob
 When set to ON, switches the heating elements

and conveyor on.

 When set to OFF, switches the heating

elements and conveyor off.

 When set to STANDBY, switches the top

heating elements off to conserve energy during
slow periods. The bottom heating element
remains on, allowing quick recovery.

2. DARKER/LIGHTER Knob
Adjusts the speed of the conveyor. This controls
the amount of toasting that the food product receives.

B. OPERATION PROCEDURE

1. Restore electrical power to the toaster at the circuit
breaker/fused disconnect.

2. Switch the ON/OFF/STANDBY knob to the ON

knob to the STANDBY position. The top heating
elements will turn off, saving energy. The bottom
heating element remains on to allow quick recovery.

7. To return the toaster to normal operation from
STANDBY mode, switch the ON/OFF/STANDBY
knob to the ON position. Then, allow the toaster to
