Power Save Mode
All TQ-400, -800, -1200, and -1800 series toasters have a built-in Power Save mode with an indicator light feature. This feature allows the toaster to go into a stand-by mode and reduces power to the heating elements by 50 percent. During Power Save mode, the Power Save button will flash.
To activate Power Save mode:

1. Press the Power Save button ( ). The Power Save button will flash.
   To deactivate Power Save mode:

   • Press the Power Save button ( ) or turn any knob. The Power Save button will illuminate and no longer flash.
     NOTE: Allow a minimum of 2–3 minutes before toasting. Unit is back up to full power within 10 minutes.

2. ColorGuard System
   All TQ-400, -800, -1200, and -1800 series toasters use a patented ColorGuard sensing system that monitors and automatically adjust conveyor speed during high usage periods to assure toast color uniformity.
   NOTE: The ColorGuard sensing system is inoperable for approximately ten minutes after any heat adjustments are made.

Adjusting the Toast Feed Ramp
The toast feed ramp is installed at the factory and can be used in two positions.
Automatic Feed Position
For automatic feed, the toast feed ramp should be in an upright position. Bread products enter the toaster by placing them on the feed ramp and releasing.
Manual Feed Position
For manual feed, the toast feed ramp should be in a horizontal position on top of the toaster. Bread products are manually loaded by placing directly on the conveyor belt.

MAINTENANCE

General
Hatco Toast-Qwik® Conveyor Toasters are designed for maximum durability and performance with minimum maintenance.

ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD:

• Turn OFF power switch, unplug power cord, and allow unit to cool before performing maintenance, cleaning, setup, or attempting to clear a jam.
• DO NOT submerge or saturate with water. Unit is not waterproof. Do not operate if unit has been submerged or saturated with water.

Failure to use Genuine Hatco Replacement Parts will void all warranties and may subject operators of the equipment to hazardous electrical voltage, resulting in electrical shock or burn. Genuine Hatco Replacement Parts are specified to operate safely in the environments in which they are used. Some aftermarket or generic replacement parts do not have the characteristics that will allow them to operate safely in Hatco equipment.

This unit has no “user-serviceable” parts. If service is required on this unit, contact an Authorized Hatco Service Agent or contact the Hatco Service Department at 800-558-0607 or 414-671-6350.

Daily Cleaning
To preserve the finish of the unit, it is recommended that the metal surfaces be wiped daily with a damp cloth.

Submerging or saturating unit with water will damage the unit and void unit warranty.

Use non-abrasive cleaners and cloths only. Abrasive cleaners and cloths could scratch finish of unit, marring its appearance and making it susceptible to soil accumulation.
Clean unit daily to avoid malfunctions and maintain sanitary operation.

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

2. Remove and empty the crumb tray and the toast collector pan.
   a. Wash the crumb tray and the toast collector pan with warm water and a mild detergent. Rinse with water.
   b. Allow the crumb tray and toast collector pan to air dry, or dry with a soft cloth.

3. Wipe the exterior surfaces of the toaster with a non-abrasive, damp cloth.

4. Stubborn stains may be removed with a good stainless steel cleaner or a non-abrasive cleaner. Hard to reach areas should be cleaned with a small brush and mild soap.

5. Check the cooling fan vents and clean any debris
   NOTE: TQ-400, -800, -1200, and -1800 series toasters are equipped with a cooling fan directly below the control panel area. Check/clean the cooling fan vents monthly or anytime the warning light illuminates. For excessive buildup, use a vacuum cleaner to clear the vents. Clogged vents will cause the toaster to overheat and shut down.

Cleaning the Bottom Element Reflector
The bottom heating element reflector inside the toasting chamber has slots that allow bread crumbs to drop through to the crumb tray. Over an extended period of use, bread crumbs may build up on the reflector and not drop through onto the tray.

1. Turn off the unit, unplug the power cord, and allow the unit to cool.
2. Wipe the crumbs onto the crumb tray using a bristle brush.
   • To wipe the reflector, place the bristle brush through the conveyor belt and wipe to each side.
