VERTICAL CONTACT TOASTER
Checking the Conveyor Belt Chains
(Every 3–6 Months)
NOTE: The Bun Thickness Compression Knobs
(Figure 4) must be set to 6 and 6 prior to measuring,
removing or reinstalling the Conveyor Belt Chains.
MEASURING CONVEYOR BELT CHAINS
1. Remove the Bun Chute and Heat Shield (Figure
1). Set the Bun Thickness Compression Knobs to
6 and 6.
2. Remove both Conveyor Covers and pull the
Silicone Belt Pin out of the zipper (Figure 9).
3. See Figure 11. With the belt wraps removed,
locate the top Idler Shafts for the front and rear
conveyors. There is an oval cut-out on the chas-
sis of the unit. The top Idler Shafts should be in
the middle of the oval cut out or lower. If the shaft
is higher, remove a link from the conveyor chain.
In the example shown, a link does NOT need to
be removed.
REMOVING CONVEYOR BELT CHAIN LINKS
1. Turn the power off, unplug the power cord, and
allow the unit to cool.
2. Remove the Bun Chute and Heat Shield. Set the
Bun Thickness Compression Knobs to 6 and 6.
3. Remove the Conveyor Cover(s) and pull the
Silicone Belt Pin out of the zipper. Remove the
Silicone Belt(s).
4. Locate the two Master Links (Figure 12).
5. Remove the Master Link on both the left and right
side of the chain.
6. Remove one complete link from the chain.
7. Replace the Master Links on both the left and
right side of the chain. This connects the two
ends of the chain together.
NOTE: The ends of the Master Links must point
down (Figure 13).
8. Replace the Silicone Belt(s). Secure with the
Silicone Belt Pin.
NOTE: Make sure the Conveyor Belt Chain and
Silicone Belt are installed between the yellow
Upper and Lower Support Rods.

Heat Shield.
