B. Electrical Utility Connection
IMPORTANT
THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION TO THE TOASTER
REQUIRES A
CIRCUIT BREAKER/FUSED DISCONNECT. ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS ARE LISTED ON THE SERIAL PLATE (SHOWN IN FIGURE 3), AND IN THE
ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS ON PAGE 1
OF THIS MANUAL.
CONSULT ALL APPLICABLE NATIONAL 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 toasters
requirements. Refer to the toasters serial plate (Figure 3)
and to the
Electrical Specifications on Page 1.
b. Check that the appropriate receptacle is available for the
power cord plug.
WARNING
ENSURE THAT
CONNECT
BOTH THE CIRCUIT BREAKER/FUSED DIS-
AND THE ON/OFF/STBY KNOB ARE IN THE OFF
POSITION BEFORE PROCEEDING. ENSURE THAT ANY
PACKING MATERIAL RESIDUE HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM
INSIDE THE TOASTING CHAMBER.
2. Insert the power cord plug into its receptacle.

temperature
adjustment knobs
1. ON/OFF/STBY knob
When set to ON, turns on the conveyor and elements.
When set to OFF, turns off the conveyor and elements.
When set to STBY, places the toaster in a standby mode
by reducing the power to the heating elements. This saves
power during idle periods and extends the life of the toasters
components. Switching the knob back to the ON position
will return the toaster to operating temperature within 5
minutes.
2. Conveyor Speed control knob
Adjusts the speed of the conveyor belt.
SLOW is the minimum speed setting.
FAST is the maximum speed setting.
3. Top and Bottom temperature adjustment knobs
Adjusts the temperature of the heating elements. Two knobs are
provided so that the top and bottom heating element temperatures
can be adjusted independently. Turning one of the knobs to the
OFF position allows one-sided toasting (for bagels, etc.)
LOW is the lowest temperature setting, which produces a
lighter toasting of the bakery product on its top or bottom.
HIGH is the highest temperature setting, which produces a
2
darker toasting of the bakery product on its top or bottom.
