NOTE: The Bun Thickness Compression Knobs
(Figure 3) must be set to “6 & 6” prior to measur-
ing or removing or reinstalling 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 Butter Wheel, Pan, and Heat
Shield (Figure 1) and set the Bun Thickness
Compression Knobs to 6 & 6.
3. Open both Conveyor Covers.
4. Facing the toaster, locate the approximate center-
point of the Conveyor Chain.
5. Pull the Conveyor Chain away from the edge of
the toaster (Figure 5).
6. Stand a U.S. Dime on end between the frame
and the chain (Figure 5).
7. If the gap is significantly wider than the coin,
REMOVE links as described below.
8. Disconnect the Conveyor Belt Chain by squeez-
ing any two links together and unhooking both
ends one link (Figure 6). 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.
9. Remove one 1/2” link from the belt.
10. Reassemble the Conveyor Belt Chain onto the
sprockets as described in Replacing Conveyor
Belt Chains.
11. Measure the gap again to ensure it is not too
tight.
12. Check the opposite side of the toaster using the
same steps.
NOTE: If the Conveyor Belt Chain is too tight to be
reassembled, remove an additional small 1/2” link
and install a large 3/4” link in its place. This will
shorten the Conveyor Belt Chain by 1/4” overall.
