Set the conveyor speed control initially to maximum, position 20.
Also set both the element controls to maximum output, position 20.
Allow a warm up time of 10 to 15 minutes.
The toasting temperature will continue to rise for around an hour as the
machine warms.
TEST SETTINGS –Place two products side by side on the entry chute and check
the results when they have finished cooking.
ADJUST SETTINGS –If you require the cooking to be darker, decrease the speed
of the conveyor. Make these adjustments to the conveyor speed in small amounts.
You will find that a small change will have a significant effect on the degree of
cooking.
Once satisfied with the settings and the cooking results, the toaster can be left
running and fed continuously with product. You will find however, that from time to
time some minor adjustments may need to be made.
To facilitate access to the toasted product it is possible to partially pull out the lower
crumb tray if you are operating in return mode.
ELEMENT CONTROL
When you have found your desired conveyor speed you can fine tune the balance
of the cooking from top to bottom. Each bank of elements can be controlled
individually as described above.
We recommend starting with both elements set to maximum output, position 20.
After some testing you may want to adjust the controls to set different top and
bottom power to balance the cooking to your requirements.
By keeping as close to full power as possible you will get the highest throughput of
product through the toaster.
OPERATING TIPS
It may be necessary to help push the product into the cooking cavity. They can
sometimes stick on the inlet chute. Take care when doing this to avoid injury. Use a
utensil.
Best results are obtained by using “day old” bread product, which has lost some of the
moisture inherent with fresh bread.
Different breads will have different toasting properties. Using the same brand of bread
will result in more consistent toasting through user familiarisation.
Regular cleaning of the crumb trays and reflector is essential.
The best results for buns is achieved when cooking with the flat cut side
up and the top element control set to 20 with bottom element and speed
tuned to achieve desired degree of cooking.
