PROGRAMMING THE UNIT

GENERAL

Thermo-Finisher conveyor units have both an
upper and lower heating zone. The upper
elements heat the product on the pan/plate and
the lower elements heat the bottom of the
pan/plate.
There are 10 programmable selection keys
allowing the operator to fine-tune the radiant heat
input and heating time for a variety of menu items.
Keys 1–8: When pressed, the unit will cycle once,
conveying the product into the heating area,
pausing to heat
time/temperature, and then conveying the product
out the opposite side of the unit and stopping.

PROGRAMMING CONTROLS

The following terms are used when programming
the unit:
UP = UPPER POWER VALUE: Power setting
for the upper heating elements.
UT = UPPER TIME
for the upper heating elements.
LP = LOWER POWER VALUE: Power setting
for the lower heating elements.
LT = LOWER TIME
for the lower heating elements.
When the display shows a Power Value (UP for
upper, LP for lower), the number is shown as a
percentage. Example: P20 = 20%. These values
are adjustable from 5-100%, in 5% increments
every time an arrow key is pressed.
When the display shows a Time Value (UT for
upper, LT for lower) the number shows the time
the heating element will be on. Example: T35 = 35
seconds. These values are adjustable from zero
minutes to 9 minutes 59 seconds. Values change
by 1 second every time an arrow key is pressed.
Holding down an arrow key will cause the
numbers to change rapidly.
NOTE: All settings are retained in memory, even
when the unit is turned off or unplugged
from power source.

Keys 9 and 10: When pressed, the unit will cycle
continuously. The conveyor will advance in 1/2
second increments, pausing to heat the food at a

then removed but the conveyor continues to
operate.
Thermo-Finisher conveyors also feature a
