RAPID TOASTER VCT-250

Toaster Operation

The Rapid Toaster 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 within the Conveyor Belt Chain in the front
of the toaster. The second Auxiliary Heater is located
within the Conveyor Belt Chain at the rear of the unit.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
NOTE: Setpoint Temperature refers to the desired
temperature setting.
Pressing the TEMP UP key will display the current
platen temperature provided it is over 420° F (216° C).
Pressing the TEMP DOWN key will display the
current auxiliary heaters temperature when it is
over 250° F (121° C).
Pressing and holding TEMP SCALE key for 3-5 sec-
onds will switch the temperature display between
Fahrenheit (°F) and Celsius (°C).
RECOMMENDED TEMPERATURES
Recommended temperature setting for the Platen
Heater is 560° F (293° C).
Recommended temperature setting for the Auxiliary
Heaters is 400° F (204° C).
NOTE: The toaster is tested and shipped with the
heaters set at the above recommended tempera-
