INSTALLATION OF OPTIONAL TEFLON SHEET .
1. Lay the Teflon sheet on a flat surface and measure approximately 2’’ from the end of the
sheet. Notch the corners at 45 degrees as needed and fold a flap 2’’ long.
Carefully crease the flap at the 2’’ fold.
2. Remove the bun feeder chute (7). From the rear of the Teflon sheet retainer bracket slip

2. Turn on the main switch the conveyor will now run.
3. Set the temperature to approx. 400F which equates to 5.7 on the scale. If using the oponal
Teflon sheet it is advisable to increase the temperature seng to approx. 450F which
equates to 6.5 on the scale (1-85F, 2-140F, 3-200F, 4-285F, 5-350, 6-410F, 7-480F).
4. Any high-quality edible oil can be used with this bun toaster. It is preferable to use oil

If opmum bun grilling is not achieved using the speed and temperature sengs it is possible to
adjust the posion of the conveyor system relave to the grill plate. Moving the conveyor closer to
the grill plate will apply more pressure to the bun and result in more effecve toasng.
