This section provides a basic description of the toaster
controls, their location, and the functions they perform.
The operator MUST be familiar with the controls. See
Figure 3-1.

heating elements off to conserve energy during
slow periods. The bottom heating element
remains on, allowing quick recovery.
2. DARKER/LIGHTER Knob

the amount of toasting that the food product receives.
B. OPERATION PROCEDURE
1. Restore electrical power to the toaster at the circuit
breaker/fused disconnect.
2. Switch the ON/OFF/STANDBY knob to the ON
