FAULT MESSAGES (continued)
• The temperature controller has an ambient
temperature sensor that will disable the heating
circuits if the control compartment ambient
temperature becomes excessive: 140°F (60°C)
to 180°F (82°C).
When this occurs, the temperature display will flash
“CHEC” (Figure 7). To restart the unit, ambient
must drop to 140°F (60°C) and the unit must be
turned off, then back on. If this condition repeats,
contact your Authorized Service Agency.
• If incoming power drops below 175 Volts, the heat-
ing circuits are disabled and the display will read
“PO” (Figure 8). To reset, the voltage must be
over 190 Volts, then the unit must be turned off
and back on. If this condition repeats, contact your
Authorized Service Agency.
• The “PH” fault message (Figure 9) is displayed if
the Conveyor Interlock Safety Switches (Figure 11)
are not properly engaged . When a PH fault exists,
reposition both the front and rear Conveyor Covers
so that they fully engage the Conveyor Safety
Interlock Switches. The unit should return to normal
operation when the Conveyor Covers are posi-
tioned correctly.

Figure 12. Measuring Conveyor Chain
MAINTENANCE (continued)
Measure the Conveyor Belt Chains for
Stretch
After a period of time, the Conveyor Belt Chain links
wear and the conveyor will stretch. This may cause
the conveyor to jam as it rotates on the sprockets or
possibly skip on the sprockets. This is easily remedied
by removing one or more links from each side of the
conveyor.
NOTE: This periodic adjustment not covered
under warranty. It is a user responsibility.
1. Remove the front and rear Conveyor Covers and
set the Bun Thickness Compression Controls to
“6 & F”.
2. Facing the heel/club side (front), locate the
approximate center point of the Conveyor Belt
Chain.
3. Pull the Conveyor Belt Chain away from the edge
of the toaster.
4. Stand a U.S. Quarter coin (15/16” (2.5 cm)
horizontally between the chain and the frame
(Figure 12).
NOTE: The coin should fit securely between the
chain and the frame.
5. If the gap is significantly wider than the coin (one
and a half times as large) a small link will have to
be removed from the Conveyor Belt Chain.
6. Disconnect the Conveyor Belt Chain by squeez-
ing any two links together and unhooking both
ends of one link (Figure 13).
NOTE: Needle nose pliers may be required.
7. To shorten a stretched Conveyor Belt Chain,
remove one 1/2” link from the Conveyor Belt
chain.
8. Reconnect by hooking both ends of the Conveyor
Belt Chain back together and measure again
accordingly.
NOTE: If the chain is too short/tight to be reas-
sembled, remove an additional 1/2” link and install
a 3/4” link. This will shorten the belt 1/4” overall.
9. Reassemble the Conveyor Belt Chain and repeat
the measurement.

Checking the Temperature of the Bun
Landing Area
IMPORTANT: If the toaster is equipped with a Bun
Buffer Landing Zone (BBLZ), you MUST remove
the BBLZ BEFORE performing the temperature
measurement in Step 1 below. This temperature
measurement is intended to be taken WITHOUT the
BBLZ attached to the toaster.
1. Take the temperature of the Bun Landing Area at
its center directly in front of the Bun Chute with
a Pyrometer/Surface Temperature (grill) Probe.
The minimum acceptable temperature is 130° F
(54° C). If the temperature is less, contact your
Authorized Service Agency or the Technical
Service Department of A.J. Antunes & Co. at 877-
392-7854 (for the U.S. & Canada only) or 630-
784-1000.
2. If a Bun Buffer Landing Zone was removed from
the toaster in Step 1, re-attach it after completing
Step 1.
