OPERATION

The RT-2T “Twin Toaster” has two identical control panels. Each side of the toaster works independently of the other. The following instructions refer to the operation of either the left or right side of the toaster. Procedures are identical for each side as follows:

CONTROLS

The RT-2T is equipped with two heater zones per side. These zones are located above the conveyor belt and below the conveyor belt and are controlled by the two Infinite control knobs on each control panel. These control knobs serve as on/off switches to the heating elements and regulate light and dark toasting. The upper knob controls the upper heating elements and the lower knob controls the lower heating elements. These controls can be used together for toasting both sides of a product or indepen- dently for toasting only one side of a product. The red indicator lights located directly beside the Infinite controls show that the heating elements are on.

The conveyor motors are controlled by the On/Off switches. The conveyor speed is regulated by the conveyor speed controls located above the Infinite controls.
