Installation

These instructions should be followed at all times. Failure to follow these instructions could result in injury to yourself and others.

TO REDUCE RISK OF INJURY OR DAMAGE TO THE UNIT:

1.  Read this manual thoroughly before installation and operation.  DO NOT proceed with installation and operation if you have any questions or do not understand anything in this manual. Contact your representative or the manufacturer first.
   WARNING
   

Fire Hazard.

Correct installation precautions, procedures and regulations must be followed. Operation and safety training is necessary for all users of this equipment.
The equipment must be installed by qualified personnel only. Correct installation precautions, procedures and regulations must be followed in order to reduce the risk of fire. Hood and fire suppression systems must be maintained per manufacturer’s guidelines. Only qualified and trained personnel are to use this equipment.

2. Remove the SPECTRUM™ Commercial Conveyor Toaster from the packaging. Be certain that all protective plastics and residues are thoroughly cleaned from its surface.
3. Place the Conveyor Toaster on a firm level surface; the adjustable feet can assist in leveling. Local standards and regulations should be consulted in order to abide by standards set in relation to positioning, spacing, and ventilation. SPECTRUM recommends that you allow no less than 4” for a ventilation gap around the perimeter of this unit. Common sense should be used when choosing position and operation of this product.
   • CAUTION
   • Do not position or operate near combustible materials/flammable objects.
   • Once the Conveyor Toaster has been placed in position, be sure that the stainless steel waste tray is correctly positioned.
   • WARNING
   • Electrical Shock Hazard
   • Keep water and other liquids from entering the inside of the unit. Liquid inside the unit could cause an electrical shock.
   • Do not spray water or cleaning products. Liquid could contact the electrical components and cause a short circuit or an electrical shock. Do not use unit if power cord is damaged or has been modified.
4. The installation of the unit must conform to the NATIONAL ELECTRIC CODE, ALL LOCAL ELECTRIC CODES AND ORDINANCES, AND ALL THE LOCAL ELECTRICAL COMPANY RULES AND REGULATIONS. Additionally, we recommend a 4″ spacing surrounding the unit in order to provide adequate ventilation.
5. Proper connections and power supply are essential for efficient performance. Supply the appropriate power and connect to source; the Conveyor Toaster is now ready to turn on and operate. (For power supply please see technical specification on page 1).
   • Proper Grounding ·
   • This machine is provided with a three-pronged grounding plug. The outlet to which this plug is connected must be properly grounded. If the receptacle is not the proper grounding type, contact an electrician. DO NOT, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord or use any adapter plug.
6. The ECT-300 units are wired to be used with a 120V, NEMA 5-15R or 5-20R receptacle on a dedicated circuit.
7. The ECT-700 units are wired to be used with a 208/240V, NEMA 6-15R receptacle on a dedicated circuit.
8. The Conveyor Toaster can operate as a pass-through operation or return operation. Please follow the instructions for the appropriate/required method.

Operation

Using the Pass-Through & Return Chutes

• To use the pass-through chute: 1) Attach the pass-through chute to the screws below the rear discharge door, 2) Release the back door chute to create a bridge from the conveyor belt to the rear discharge.
• To use the return chute: 1) Attach the return crumb tray to the ledge just below the rear discharge door, 2) Close the rear discharge door – this will allow toast to slide toward the front of the unit and down the front return chute (see diagram below).

Rear & Front Toast Return Chutes, Crumb Tray

WARNING

• Burn Hazard.
  • When in operation, the Conveyor Toaster will be hot at the entrance to the conveyor cavity.
  • Please take extreme caution.
• USE CAUTION WHEN TOUCHING THE UNIT.

Heating Elements & Doneness Selector

The Conveyor Toaster has upper and lower heating elements which can be used together or alternatively; the top element can be used on its own. This can provide flexibility when toasting and grilling.
To operate, turn the HEATING ELEMENT Dial to the desierd selection (see diagram below):

• BOTH ELEMENTS: Provides full power to both the upper and lower elements.
• TOP ELEMENT : Provides full power to the upper element only.
• ENERGY SAVER-HOLD: Reduces power to unit when not in use, keeping it warm for fast heat up when required.

Additionally, the speed of the conveyor can be controlled using the DONENESS SELECTOR Dial, to determine the darkness/lightness of the toasted products.

• Adjusting the “DONENESS SELECTOR” to “LIGHT” will INCREASE the conveyor speed, resulting in Lighter toasted products.
• Adjusting the “DONENESS SELECTOR” to “DARK” will SLOW the conveyor speed, resulting in Darker toasted products.

NOTE
Please remember that this manual and the warning labels do not replace the need to be alert, to properly train and supervise operators, and to use common sense when using this equipment.

Cleaning, Care & Maintenance

To maintain the appearance and increase the service life, clean your unit daily. The SPECTRUM™ Commercial Conveyor Toaster should be cleaned after each day’s operation; however, the unit may require more frequent cleaning, depending on the volume of production.

• WARNING

• Burn Hazard.

  • When in operation, the Conveyor Toaster will be hot at the entrance to the conveyor cavity.

  • Please take extreme caution.

• USE CAUTION WHEN TOUCHING THE UNIT.

1. Switch power off and disconnect from the outlet before cleaning.
2. Allow the Conveyor Toaster to cool down after use before dismantling for cleaning; the unit will still be too hot to handle immediately after use. Remove the return chutes, feeder and catch trays and wipe clean with a damp cloth; be sure to dry before returning them to the unit.  For detailed cleaning these non-electrical parts can be submerged and washed thoroughly if needed.
3. The remainder of the Conveyor Toaster can be cleaned with a damp cloth using hot, soapy water.
4. Do not immerse completely in water or use hose to clean.
5. Warm soapy water is recommended for cleaning; prolonged use of cleaning agents may cause damage to stainless steel.
