Setting the Controls
The model 247-ACC & 248-BCC Toaster Grills provide two
modes of operation: DEDICATED MODE and PRODUCT
MODE.
•DEDICATED MODE is a simple mode of operation for
toasting buns that is similar to the 213, 411 & 416 Series
Toaster Grills, with a set toast time and temperature for one
product “BUN1”.
•PRODUCT MODE allows you to set both the toasting time
and temperature individually for four additional products. Note
that it may take several minutes for the platen to heat up or
cool down to a new temperature setting. You can also change
the display to any four character name of your choice for each
of the products to indicate which product is being toasted. • Furthermore, 247-ACC and 248-BCC Toaster Grills allow you
to manually initiate the power-saving mode. (See Figure 1.)
