OPERATION

CAUTION

Burn Hazard
Do not touch the equipment while it is heating or operating. Hot surfaces can burn skin.

NOTICE:
The crumb tray must be installed in the oven during operation. Failure to install the crumb tray will cause the oven to overheat.

Adjust the Heat Shield
Excess space above the product will create heat loss and may reduce performance.

1. When the equipment is cool to the touch, use a screwdriver to loosen the screw on the heat shield.
2. Grasp the shield and pull it up or down to adjust the opening so the tallest products can pass through. Re-tighten the screw.

Preheat

1. Plug the oven into a grounded electrical outlet that matches the rating on the nameplate found on the side of the oven.
   NOTICE: Using a voltage other than the nameplate-rated voltage will cause damage to the unit. Incorrect voltage, and modification to the power cord or electrical components can damage the unit and will void the warranty.

2. Rotate the power knob to the full power position (I).

3. Set the conveyor speed control knob to 7.

4. Rotate the top and bottom heat control knobs to high.

5. Wait 5 minutes for the oven to preheat.

Test

1. Test the settings by placing a sandwich in the oven. Sandwiches can be placed directly onto the conveyor or on a pizza screen.
   NOTICE: Pans, especially shiny pans, and aluminium foil will reflect heat away from the sandwich and reduce browning.

2. Monitor the toasting process and adjust the temperatures and conveyor speed to prevent the sandwich from burning.

3. Evaluate the results.

Toast Sandwiches

1. Adjust the top and bottom heat control and conveyor settings as needed to achieve desired results.
2. Allow time for the oven to adjust to new heat settings before placing sandwiches onto the conveyor.
3. Allow space between the sandwiches on the conveyor and time in between toasting for the oven to recover.

If an Item Becomes Stuck

1. Rotate the power knob to the OFF position (O) and unplug the equipment.
2. Let the equipment cool completely. Use tongs to remove the item. Take care to not bump the heating elements above and below the conveyor.

CLEANING

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard
Do not spray water or cleaning products. Liquid could contact the electrical components and cause a short circuit or an electrical shock.

CAUTION

Burn Hazard
Allow equipment to cool before moving or cleaning.

• NOTICE: Do not use abrasive materials, scratching cleansers or scouring pads to clean the exterior of the equipment. These can damage the finish.
• NOTICE: Heating elements do not need to be cleaned. Crumbs and food debris will burn off. Over time the heating elements may develop a chalky appearance, but this will not impact performance.

Daily Cleaning
Contact an authorized service agent for a professional cleaning of the components.

1. Before turning off the equipment and with the conveyor rotating, watch the conveyor belt for food debris.
2. When the food debris reaches the front of the conveyor, rotate the power knob to the OFF position.
3. Wait for the fan to stop running. Unplug the equipment.
4. Let the equipment cool completely.
5. When the equipment is cool, use a brush or scrub pad to remove the food debris.
6. To clean the exterior, use a soft cloth dipped in hot soapy water to wipe the exterior and fan air intake under the equipment. If needed, wipe the fan intake area with degreaser to prevent long-term build up.
7. Empty and clean the crumb tray(s).

Special Instructions for Ventless Operation
Clean the adjacent surfaces and kitchen equipment at least every other month or more frequently as needed.
