B. Electrical Utility Connection
IMPORTANT
THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION TO THE TOASTER REQUIRES A
CIRCUIT BREAKER/FUSED DISCONNECT. ELECTRICAL SPECIFI-
CATIONS ARE LISTED ON THE SERIAL PLATE (SHOWN IN FIGURE
3), AND IN THE ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS ON PAGE 1 OF THIS
MANUAL.
CONSULT ALL APPLICABLE NATIONAL AND LOCAL CODES FOR
FURTHER ELECTRICAL CONNECTION REQUIREMENTS.
1. Before proceeding with the electrical connection, check the following:
a. Check that the electrical supply matches the toasters
requirements. Refer to the toasters serial plate (Figure 3)
and to the Electrical Specifications on Page 1.
b. Check that the appropriate receptacle is available for the power
cord plug.
WARNING
ENSURE THAT BOTH THE CIRCUIT BREAKER/FUSED DIS-
CONNECT AND THE PRODUCT SELECTION KNOB ARE IN
THE OFF (0) POSITION BEFORE PROCEEDING.
WARNING
ENSURE THAT ANY PACKING MATERIAL RESIDUE HAS
BEEN REMOVED FROM INSIDE THE TOASTING CHAMBER.
3. Insert the power cord plug into its receptacle.

III. OPERATION
A. Location and Function of Controls
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. Refer to Figure 4.

1. Product Selection knob
 When set to TOAST ( ), switches on the conveyor, the
upper heating element, and one lower heating element.
 When set to OFF (O), switches off the conveyor and all heating
elements.
 When set to BUNS/BAGELS ( ), switches on the conveyor
and both of the lower heating elements.
2. Conveyor Speed Control knob
Adjusts the speed of the conveyor. This controls the amount of
toasting that the bakery product receives.
 1 is the minimum speed setting, which produces a darker
toasting of the bakery product.
 9 is the maximum speed setting, which produces a lighter
toasting of the bakery product.

C. Shutdown Procedure
1. Switch the Product Selection knob to the OFF (O) position.
2. Disconnect electrical power to the toaster at the circuit breaker/
fused disconnect.
3. Allow the toaster to cool.
D. Clearing Jams
WARNING

BER TO CLEAR A JAM. SERIOUS INJURY MAY RESULT.
CAUTION
NEVER use a plastic object to clear a jam. If the toaster is not com-
pletely cool, damage to the toaster may result.
CAUTION
When clearing a jam, use care to avoid damaging the heating elements.
1. Switch the Product Selection knob to the OFF (O) position.
2. Disconnect electrical power to the toaster at the circuit breaker/
fused disconnect.
3. Allow the toaster to cool.
CAUTION - HOT SURFACES
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAR THE JAM UNTIL THE TOASTER
HAS COOLED THOROUGHLY.
4. Carefully clear the jam using a long object as a probe. This object
should preferably be made of wood, which is less likely to damage
the heating elements.
E. Daily Cleaning
WARNING
WHEN CLEANING THE TOASTER, NEVER APPLY ENOUGH
LIQUID TO STAND IN PLACE ON THE UNIT. DO NOT SPRAY,
RINSE, OR SUBMERGE THE TOASTER. EXCESSIVE MOIS-
TURE IN THE UNIT WILL CAUSE A SEVERE ELECTRICAL
HAZARD AND MAY OTHERWISE DAMAGE THE TOASTER.
CAUTION
DO NOT clean your toaster using abrasive cleaners or pads. Both will
scratch and dull the finish.
1. With the conveyor running, use a brush to clean any crumbs off the
conveyor into the crumb tray.
2. Switch the Product Selection knob to the OFF (O) position.
3. Disconnect electrical power to the toaster at the circuit breaker/
fused disconnect.
4. Allow the toaster to cool.
CAUTION - HOT SURFACES
DO NOT TOUCH HOT SURFACES ON THE TOASTER, OR
REACH INTO THE TOASTING CHAMBER, UNTIL THE UNIT
HAS COOLED THOROUGHLY.
5. Wipe the exterior of the toaster with a sponge or cloth soaked in hot
or warm detergent water. Wipe with a clean, damp cloth to remove
the excess detergent, and then wipe again to dry the toaster.
6. Remove the crumb tray and the return tray from the toaster, and
empty them. Wash the trays in warm detergent water, and rinse
them.
CAUTION
Never remove the crumb tray while the conveyor is moving.
7. Remove the entry rack from the toaster. Wash the rack in warm
detergent water, and rinse it.
8. Towel the trays and entry rack dry. Reassemble all parts onto the
toaster.

disconnect.
2. Switch the Product Selection knob to either TOAST ( ) or BUNS/
BAGELS ( ), depending on the product to be toasted.
3. Allow the toaster to pre-heat for at least 20 minutes.
4. Adjust the toasting time (if necessary) by turning the conveyor speed
control knob.
5. Load the entry rack with the bakery product to be toasted. The
product will slide off the entry rack and onto the conveyor.
IMPORTANT
If the Product Selection knob is set to BUNS/BAGELS ( ), load
the bakery product CUT SIDE DOWN for proper toasting. Refer to
Figure 5.
6. After toasting, remove the product from the return tray.
7. During inactive periods, switch the Product Selection knob to the
BUNS/BAGELS ( ) position. This leaves only the lower heating
elements on, allowing a quicker recovery to normal toasting
temperatures.
