WARM-UP
During warm-up, both displays flash while showing the last-used MENU
temperature setpoint.
A MENU cycle cannot be started while in warm-up mode.
When setpoint temperature is reached, the display stops flashing and
the audible alert beeps 3 times.
SEASONING THE PLATENS
The platens must be seasoned before attempting to toast product, in
order to provide a hard, non-porous, non-stick surface.
With the POWER SWITCH ON, press MENU with highest time
(typically Menu 3). When the display stops flashing, brush a liberal coat
of vegetable oil onto exposed surfaces of upper and lower platens.
Lower the upper platens.
At the end of the timed cycle, or when the oil begins to smoke, turn the
POWER SWITCH OFF. Wipe the platen surfaces with a clean dry
cloth.
Repeat three times. Your toaster now seasoned and ready to use.
LOAD PRODUCT
Load product onto lower platen.
Lower upper platen slowly. Platen will level based on thickness of
product.
TIMER OPERATION
Press any MENU key to start the timer countdown. Readout will
display time remaining. The LED for the selected MENU key will glow,
and the display colon will flash while the timer is active.
When the display reaches “_0:00”, the audible alert beeps and the
display flashes. The unit will “beep” three times, then display the
current menu setpoint.
Left and right MENU keys operate independently of each other, and
can be in operation at the same time. The flashing display will indicate
which side has timed out. Each side will “beep” three times at the end
of the timed cycle, then display the current menu setpoint.
Raise upper platen slowly until it is in the full up position. Unload
product from the lower platen.
CAUTION:
BURN HAZARD
Exposed portions of toaster
are hot. Use care when
working around the platens.
Use insulated handles to
raise and lower platens.
