the top of the toaster and uniform,
golden brown, warm buns are then
retrieved at the base of the unit.

Operating Instructions
1. Set the Bun Thickness Adjust-
ment Controls (Figure 3).
NOTICE:Recommended settings
are #6 for Crowns and #4 for
Heels.
2. Turn the power on and allow the
toaster to warm up for 30 min-
utes before proceeding.
NOTICE:The temperature display
(Figure 2) will ash “LO”
until the toaster reaches its
preset operating temperature.
When the toaster approaches
the preset temperature of
585°F (307°C), “USE” ap-
pears in the temperature
display and the unit is ready
to toast buns. If “USE” does
not appear in the window
after approximately 30 min-
utes, contact your Authorized
Service Agency.
3. Drop Crowns and Heels into the
slot (Figure 2).
NOTICE:Cut sides of Heels and
Crowns must face each
other.
4. Toasted buns will drop into the
Bun Landing Area (Figure 2) in
approximately 10 seconds.
5. Test at least four buns before
putting the toaster into service.
6. Turn the power o󰀨 when nished
toasting for the day and proceed
with the Daily Cleaning as out-
lined in the Maintenance section
of this manual.
Temperature Adjustments
The VCT-2000 uses a Platen Heater
and two Auxiliary Air Heaters. The
Platen Heater consists of a heat-
ing element built into the Platen to
toast the cut side of the bun. The two
Auxiliary Heaters assist in provid-
ing additional heat to the buns. The
first Auxiliary Air Heater is located
between the conveyor in the front
of the toaster. The second Auxiliary
Heater is located between the con-
veyor at the rear of the unit.

Fault Messages
The Control Display will flash fault
messages when there is a problem
with the unit.
“HI” will flash if the platen tempera-
ture exceeds 620°F (327°C) or if the
platen thermocouple is disconnected
or open.
“HI” and “USE” will flash (Figure 5)
if the auxiliary heater’s temperature
exceeds 440°F (227°C) or if the aux-
iliary thermocouple is disconnected
or open.
“CHEC” will flash (Figure 6) when
the control compartment ambient
temperature is excessive: 140°F
(60°C) to 180°F (82°C). All heaters

Vertical Contact Toaster | VCT-2000
VCT-2000
For more than 25 years, the Vertical Contact Toaster has
been a staple in foodservice operations, building a repu-
tation for quality, performance, and reliability through-
out the world.
e Vertical Contact Toaster gives buns a consistent,
golden brown nish so they don't soak up the juices of
the ingredients, helping the sandwich stay rm and de-
licious. With a dual-sided platen, the Vertical Contact
Toaster has more capacity than conventional single-sided
toasters, allowing operations to quickly serve fresh prod-
ucts to customers without making them wait.
e VCT-2000 features a digital controller for making
precise adjustments to the quality of the toast. A built-in
auxiliary heater warms the top sides of the buns to help
keep the assembled sandwich warmer for longer. is
unit also utilizes belt wraps to minimize bun marking.
To ensure your toaster operates properly in your restau-
rant, please use the recommended settings listed below.
