VERTICAL CONTACT TOASTER
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
Turn the power off, unplug the power cord, and allow
the unit to cool down 30 minutes before performing
any service or maintenance.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the unit, do NOT use abrasive
cleaners on the Release Sheet.
CAUTION
Failure to use Release Sheets may result in damage
to the unit and loss of warranty coverage.
Replacing the Black and Silver Release
Sheet (Every 4–6 weeks)
NOTE: Depending on toaster usage and on how
well it is cleaned daily, the black and silver Release
Sheet should last between 30–45 days.
1. Remove and discard the Release Sheet.
2. Lay a new Release Sheet on a clean, dry surface
and fold it in half lengthwise and gently crease it
at the fold using only your fingers (Figure 4).
3. Install the Release Sheet just as you would after
daily cleaning.
Fold over so
ends meet. Press lightly with
finger to form crease.
Figure 4. Folding the Release Sheet
Daily
NOTE: Pre-buttering/pre-oiling buns before feeding
them into the toaster leads to butter/oil accumula-
tion on the Release Sheet. This is normal, however
excessive buildup can lead to buns sticking and
burning. It is recommended that the Release Sheet
be replaced or cleaned once for every 6 hours of
operation. Dirty Release Sheets can be soaked in
hot, soapy water for later cleaning. Continue to
rotate Release Sheets, alternating between sides to
maximize usage.
Tools Required:
• Heat-Resistant Gloves
• Clean Towels
• Multipurpose Detergent Solution
• Sanitizer Solution
1. Turn the power off, unplug the power cord, and
clean the Release Sheet and Belt Wraps while
they are warm.
2. Put on heat-resistant gloves and remove the
Butter Wheel, Pan, and Heat Shield (Figure 1).
3. Wash the Butter Wheel, Pan, and Heat Shield in
a sink and wipe them with a damp sanitized towel
and allow them to air dry.
4. Remove the Release Sheet and place it on a
clean, flat dry surface.
5. Wipe the silver side of the Release Sheet with
a clean towel dampened with Multipurpose
Detergent Solution immediately followed by a
second clean towel dampened with sanitizer and
allow it to air dry before continuing.
6. Once the silver side is dry, repeat Step 5 on the
black side of the Release Sheet.
7. Wipe down the outside of the toaster with a
clean, damp, sanitized towel.
8. Install the Release Sheet by draping it over both
sides of the Platen with the crease centered on
the Platen.
NOTE: To prolong the life of the Release Sheet,
rotate it from the black side to the silver side on a
daily or weekly basis.
9. Install the Bun Chute so the hooks are installed
over the lower rear yellow Support Rod.
10. Install the Heat Shield with the Release Sheet
retainer clips securely over the Release Sheet
and Platen.
11. Reinstall the Butter Wheel and Pan, and plug in
the unit.
NOTE: Make sure the Heat Shield is activating the
Conveyor Safety Interlock Switch. The conveyors
will not rotate unless the Heat Shield is in place
and the Conveyor Safety Interlock Switch is
activated.
NOTE: Check the Release Sheet to make sure it is
not caught in the Conveyor. Additional Release
Sheets can be purchased through your Authorized
Service Agency under P/N 7000249 (3-Pack) or
