Operating Instructions
1. Set the bun adjustment controls (Figure 6) to
desired setting.
NOTE: After initial run of 4-6 buns, adjust controls
according to the desired finished product.
2. Turn the rocker switch on (Figure 5). Allow 30
minutes warm-up time before proceeding.
NOTE: The temperature display (Figure 5) will flash
“LO” until preset operating temperature is reached.
When the toaster approaches the preset tempera-
ture of 560°F (243°C), “560°F” will appear in the
temperature display and the unit is ready to toast
buns.
The toaster is tested and shipped with the heaters set
at a preset recommended temperature. If “560°F” does
not appear in the window after warm-up period, see
Temperature Adjustments below for recommended tem-
perature settings and to adjust temperature settings.
3. Drop buns into toaster (Figure 5).
Cut sides of
heel and crown must face each other (crown
in front, heel in back).
4. Toasted product will drop into the bun landing
area (Figure 5).
5. Test at least 4 buns before putting toaster into
service.
6. Turn the rocker switch off when finished toasting.
Temperature Adjustments
The VCT-20 uses a platen heater and two auxiliary
heaters. The platen heater consists of a heating coil
built into the platen to toast the cut side of the bun.
The two auxiliary heaters assist in providing additional
heat to the buns. The first auxiliary heater is located
between the conveyor in the front of the toaster. The
second auxiliary heater is located between the convey-
or and the rear of the unit.
RECOMMENDED TEMPERATURES
Recommended temperature setting for the platen heat-
er is 560°F (293°C).
Recommended temperature setting for the auxiliary
heaters is 340°F (171°C).
NOTE: The toaster is tested and shipped with the
heaters set at the above recommended tempera-
tures.
