   NOTE

THE UNIT MUST NOT BE USED WITHOUT THE FEET BEING IN POSITION.

2. Remove the butter roller (2) by pushing the shaft to the right to disengage from the drive socket.
3. Remove the buttered pan (3) by lifting off the locating pins.
4. Remove the top panel (1) using the two black knobs provided to lift up and slightly backward. See diagram A.
5. The bottom panel (4) can now be removed. Hold the top edge with one hand and pull straight back. Hold the bottom with the other hand and lift it up and towards the front. Slide the panel down and out below the butter roller bushes.
6. Install the cleaned conveyor cassette (8). (refer to speciñc cleaning instruction page 7) as follows. Grasp the conveyor cassette by the handles provided and place the locating pins into the hanger adjustable hanger brackets. Push the conveyor cassette forwards gently to engage the drive gear. See diagram B. The cassette assembly height bolt is preset from the factory. If the cassette gear does not make adequate contact or is binding with the drive gear, tighten or loosen the height bolt to ensure proper contact.
   NOTE:

CARE MUST BE TAKEN IN FITTING THE CONVEYOR CASSETTE. THE CASSETTE IS HEAVY AND IT IS IMPORTANT THAT IT IS NOT DROPPED INTO PLACE TO AVOID POTENTIAL DAMAGE TO THE DRIVE GEARS.

7. Replace the bottom panel (4), the top panel (1), the buttered pan (3), and the butter roller (2) in that order
8. Install the bun feeder chute by fitting the slots on each side onto the back panel studs.

INSTALLATION OF OPTIONAL TEFLON SHEET.

1. Lay the Teflon sheet on a flat surface and measure approximately 2’’ from the end of the sheet. Notch the corners at 45 degrees as needed and fold a flap 2’’ long.
   Carefully crease the flap at the 2’’ fold.

2. Remove the bun feeder chute (7). From the rear of the Teflon sheet, the retainer bracket slip the 2’’ fold under the bracket. Bring the balance of the sheet forwards and smooth the sheet down against the grill plate.

3. Reinstall the feeder chute.

NOTE

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS.

1. Thoroughly clean the unit as described in the cleaning section of this manual on page 7.
2. Turn on the main switch the conveyor will now run.
3. Set the temperature to approx. 400F which equates to 5.7 on the scale. If using the optional Teflon sheet it is advisable to increase the temperature setting to approx. 450F which equates to 6.5 on the scale (1-85F, 2-140F, 3-200F, 4-285F, 5-350, 6-410F, 7-480F).

THE TOASTED COLOUR OF THE BUN CAN BE ADJUSTED TO LIGHTER OR DARKER BY USING THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL OR THE SPEED CONTROL OR A COMBINATION OF BOTH. WHEN OPTIMUM BUN COLOUR AND SPEED HAVE BEEN ACHIEVED IT IS RECOMMENDED A NOTE IS TAKEN OF THE SETTINGS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

CONVEYOR ADJUSTMENT.

If optimum bun grilling is not achieved using the speed and temperature settings it is possible to adjust the position of the conveyor system relative to the grill plate. Moving the conveyor closer to the grill plate will apply more pressure to the bun and result in more effective toasting.
