B. Electrical Utility Connection

IMPORTANT

 Electrical wiring diagrams are provided at the back of this Manual.

 The electrical connection to the toaster requires a circuit breaker/

fused disconnect. Consult applicable IEC/CEE and local code
requirements to determine the rating of the breaker/disconnect.
Electrical specifications for the toaster are listed on the serial plate
(shown in Figure 3) and in Section I of this Manual.

 The toaster must be electrically grounded in accordance with current

IEC/CEE and local code requirements. The location of the
equipotential ground lug is shown in Figure 3.

 Consult all applicable IEC/CEE and local codes for further electrical

connection requirements.

1. Before proceeding with the electrical connection, check the following:

a. Check that the electrical supply matches the toasters require-

ments. Refer to the serial plate (Figure 3) and to the electrical
specifications shown in Section 1 of this Manual.

b. Check that the appropriate receptacle is available for the power

cord plug.

WARNING

ENSURE THAT BOTH THE CIRCUIT BREAKER/FUSED DIS­CONNECT AND THE PRODUCT SELECTION KNOB ARE IN
THE OFF (O) POSITION BEFORE PROCEEDING.

WARNING

ENSURE THAT ANY PACKING MATERIAL RESIDUE HAS
BEEN REMOVED FROM INSIDE THE TOASTING CHAMBER.

3. Insert the power cord plug into its receptacle.

4. Connect an equipotential ground wire to the lug on the rear of the
toaster (shown in Figure 3). The equipotential ground connection
must meet current IEC/CEE and local code requirements.

III. 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

1. Product Selection knob

 When set to TOAST ( ), switches on the conveyor and the

upper and lower heating elements.

 When set to OFF (O), switches off the conveyor and all heating

elements.

 When set to BUNS/BAGELS ( ), switches on the conveyor

and the lower heating elements only.

2. Conveyor Speed Control knob

Adjusts the speed of the conveyor. This controls the amount of
toasting that the bakery product receives.

 1 is the minimum speed setting, which produces a darker

toasting of the bakery product.

 9 is the maximum speed setting, which produces a lighter

toasting of the bakery product.

B. Operation Procedure

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

2. Switch the Product Selection knob to either TOAST ( ) or BUNS/

BAGELS ( ), depending on the product to be toasted.

3. Allow the toaster to pre-heat for at least 10 minutes.

4. Adjust the toasting time (if necessary) by turning the conveyor speed
control knob.

5. Load the entry rack with the bakery product to be toasted. The
product will slide off the entry rack and onto the conveyor.

IMPORTANT

If the Product Selection knob is set to BUNS/BAGELS ( ), load

the bakery product CUT SIDE DOWN for proper toasting. See Figure

5.

D. Clearing Jams

WARNING

NEVER INSERT YOUR HANDS INTO THE TOASTING
CHAMBER TO CLEAR A JAM. SERIOUS INJURY MAY
RESULT.

CAUTION

NEVER use a plastic object to clear a jam. If the toaster is not completely
cool, damage to the toaster may result.

CAUTION

When clearing a jam, use care to avoid damaging the heating elements.

1. Switch the Product Selection knob to the OFF (O) position.

2. Disconnect electrical power to the toaster at the circuit breaker/
fused disconnect.

3. Allow the toaster to cool.

CAUTION - HOT SURFACES

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAR THE JAM UNTIL THE TOASTER
HAS COOLED THOROUGHLY.

4. Carefully clear the jam using a long object as a probe. This object
should preferably be made of wood, which is less likely to damage
the heating elements.

E. Daily Cleaning

WARNING

WHEN CLEANING THE TOASTER, NEVER APPLY ENOUGH
LIQUID TO STAND IN PLACE ON THE UNIT. DO NOT SPRAY,
RINSE, OR SUBMERGE THE TOASTER. EXCESSIVE
MOISTURE IN THE UNIT WILL CAUSE A SEVERE
ELECTRICAL HAZARD AND MAY OTHERWISE DAMAGE THE
TOASTER.

CAUTION

DO NOT clean your toaster using abrasive cleaners or pads. Both will
scratch and dull the finish.

1. With the conveyor running, use a brush to clean any crumbs off the
conveyor into the crumb tray.

2. Switch the Product Selection knob to the OFF (O) position.

3. Disconnect electrical power to the toaster at the circuit breaker/
fused disconnect.

4. Allow the toaster to cool.

CAUTION - HOT SURFACES

DO NOT TOUCH HOT SURFACES ON THE TOASTER, OR
REACH INTO THE TOASTING CHAMBER, UNTIL THE UNIT
HAS COOLED THOROUGHLY.

5. Wipe the exterior of the toaster with a sponge or cloth soaked in hot

or warm detergent water. Wipe with a clean, damp cloth to remove
the excess detergent, and then wipe again to dry the toaster.

6. Remove the crumb tray and the return tray from the toaster, and
empty them. Wash the trays in warm detergent water, and rinse
them.

CAUTION

Never remove the crumb tray while the conveyor is moving.
