Operating Instructions
1. Set the Bun Thickness Compression Knobs
(Figure 3) to desired setting.
NOTE: Recommended settings are #2 for heel and
#6 for crown (See Figure 3).
2. Turn the Rocker Switch (power On/Off) to ON.
(Figure 2). Allow 30 minutes warm-up time
before proceeding.
NOTE: The temperature display (Figure 2) will flash
“LO” until preset operating temperature is reached.
When the toaster approaches the preset tempera-
ture of 570°F (299°C), “USE” will appear in the
temperature display and the unit is ready to toast
buns. If “USE” does not appear in the window after
warm-up period of approximately 30 minutes, con-
tact your Roundup Authorized Service Agency.
3. Drop buns into toaster (Figure 2). Cut sides of
heel and crown must face each other.
4. Toasted product will drop into the bun landing
area (Figure 2).
5. Test at least 4 buns before putting toaster into
service.
6. Turn the Rocker Switch (power On/Off) OFF
when finished toasting and proceed with the daily
cleaning as outlined in the Maintenance section
of this manual.
Temperature Adjustments
The VCT-2000 uses a Platen heater. This is an
aluminum casting with a built in heating element.
This assembly retains heat and provides consistent
temperatures when toasting the cut side of the bun.
RECOMMENDED TEMPERATURE
Recommended temperature setting for the Platen heat-
er is 570°F (299°C).
NOTE: The toaster is tested and shipped with the
heater set at the above recommended temperature.

FAULT MESSAGES
• If the platen thermocouple is disconnected or
“open”, the display will flash “HI” (Figure 7). The
platen thermocouple must be reattached or
replaced.
• If the platen heater temperature exceeds 620°F
(327°C) the display will flash “HI” (Figure 7). After
the toaster has cooled down, the unit must be
turned off, then back on to restart. If this condition
repeats, contact your Roundup Authorized Service
Agency.
• When this occurs, the temperature display will flash
“CHEC” (Figure 8). To restart the unit, ambient
temperature must drop to 140°F (60°C) and the
cooling fan must be operating. The unit must be
turned off, then back on.
• If incoming power drops below 175 Volts, the
toaster will shut down and the display will flash
“PO” (Figure 9).
NOTE: This applies only to the 230V Model.
• To reset, power supply must be over 175 Volts,
then the unit must be turned off and back on.
