dow after approximately 30 minutes, contact your
Authorized Service Agency.

NOTE: Cut sides of Heels and Crowns must face
each other.

(Figure 2) in approximately 10 seconds.
5. Test at least four buns before putting the toaster
into service.
6. Turn the power off when finished toasting for the
day and proceed with the
Daily Cleaning as out-
lined in the Maintenance section of this manual.
Temperature Adjustments
The VCT-2000 uses a Platen Heater and two Auxiliary
Air Heaters. The Platen Heater consists of a heating
element built into the Platen to toast the cut side of the
bun. The two Auxiliary Heaters assist in providing addi-
tional heat to the buns. The first Auxiliary Air Heater is
located between the conveyor in the front of the toast-
er. The second Auxiliary Heater is located between the
conveyor at the rear of the unit.
RECOMMENDED TEMPERATURES
Recommended temperature setting for the Platen
heater is 600°F (316°C).
Recommended temperature setting for the Auxiliary Air
Heaters is 400°F (204°C).
NOTE: The toaster is tested and shipped with the
heaters set at the above recommended temperatures.
