Preheat

1. Plug the toaster into a grounded electrical outlet that matches the
rating on the name plate found on the side of the toaster.

will cause damage to the unit. Incorrect voltage,
modification to the power cord or electrical components
can damage unit and will void the warranty.

Excess space above the product will create heat loss and may

reduce performance.

Toast

1. Adjust the heat control settings, toggle switch and conveyor speed
as needed for desired results. Allow time for the toaster to adjust to
new heat settings before placing bread on the conveyor.
