Antunes EXPECT SUCCESS VCTM-2 Vertical Contact Toaster

Vertical Contact Toaster

With its small footprint, the VCTM-2 is a perfect fit for any operation where high-quality bun toasting is the objective.
The VCTM-2 also features a variable speed motor that provides operations with flexibility for future menu items and allows for light/dark adjustments. It toasts two buns simultaneously and features an individual heel and crown compression knobs that allow operations to easily adjust toast quality.
With a smaller footprint than the standard Vertical Contact Toaster, the VCTM-2 is a perfect fit for any operation where space is limited.

NOTE: The factory has pre-installed a Release Sheet over the Platen (Figure 2). Verify that it is properly in place before proceeding.

Installing the Bun Chute

  1. If the unit is on, be sure to put on heat resistant gloves.
  2. Insert the Bun Chute through the front of the unit according to Figure 1.
  3. Hang the back of the Bun Chute on the rear Conveyor Cover hinge. When properly installed, the Bun Chute supports will be flush against the front of the unit (Figure 2).

NOTE: You may need to stand to the side of the unit to guide the Bun Chute into place from the front and rear using both hands.

Operation

  1. Set the Bun Thickness Adjustment Controls (Figure 3).
    NOTE: The default Bun Thickness settings are 3 for Crown/Front and 2 for Heel/Rear. Settings are adjustable from 1-6. It is acceptable to adjust the Bun Thickness setting as needed to achieve the desired quality toast and bun compression.

  2. Turn the power on and wait until the display reads USE before proceeding.
    NOTE: The display (Figure 3) flashes “LO” during warm-up. “USE” appears when the toaster is ready for use.

  3. Drop buns into the Bun Feeder. Insert buns so they face the center platen. The cut sides of heel and crown must face each other and slide against the Release Sheet with Crowns inserted in the front and Heels inserted in the rear.

  4. Toasted buns drop onto the Bun Chute (Figure 3).

  5. Test at least 4 buns before putting the toaster into service.

Checking the Conveyor Belt Chains

Measuring conveyor belt Chains

  1. Turn the unit off, unplug the power cord, and allow the unit to cool.

  2. Remove the Bun Feeder and Bun Chute (Figure 2). Set the Bun Thickness Compression Knobs to 6 & 6.

  3. Open both Conveyor Covers.

  4. Remove the Belt Wraps and set aside.

  5. Facing the toaster, locate the approximate center-point of the Conveyor Belt Chain.

  6. Pull the chain away from the edge of the toaster (Figure 9).

  7. Measure the distance from the frame of the unit and the chain. A U.S. Dime (1.8 cm) can be used for the measurement (Figure 9).

  8. If the gap is 2 times wider than the coin or larger than 3.6 cm, remove one 1/2” link as described below.

  9. Disconnect the chain by squeezing any two links together and unhook the links from each other (Figure 10). Needle-nose pliers may be used.
    NOTE: There are two small 1/2” links on each side of the Conveyor Belt Chain. The rest are large 3/4” links.

  10. Remove one 1/2” link from the chain.

  11. Reassemble the chain onto the sprockets as described in the Replacing Conveyor Belt Chains section of this manual.

  12. Measure the gap again with the coin. The coin should fit snuggly between the chain and frame.

  13. Check the opposite side of the toaster using the same steps.

  14. When finished, reassemble the unit and return to operation.
    NOTE: If the ends of the Conveyor Belt Chain cannot be connected, remove an additional small 1/2” link and install a large 3/4” link in its place.

Replacing Conveyor Belt Chains

  1. Turn the power off, unplug the power cord, and allow the unit to cool before proceeding.

  2. Remove the Bun Chute and set the Compression Control Knobs to 6 & 6.

  3. Open both Conveyor Covers.

  4. Remove both Belt Wraps and set aside.

  5. Disconnect the Conveyor Belt Chain by squeezing any two links together and unhook both ends of one link (Figure 10). Repeat on other side.

  6. Place the new chain on the top sprockets with hook ends down. (Figure 10)

  7. Wrap the chain around the top and lower sprockets. Hook both ends together. Repeat on other side.
    NOTE: Install the Conveyor Belt Chains under the upper and lower Support Rods.

  8. If the Belt Wraps are in good condition, reinstall. Otherwise install new Belt Wraps.

  9. Close the Conveyor Covers, set the Bun Thickness Compression Knobs back to their
    normal settings and reinstall the Bun Feeder and Bun Chute.
