Safety Information

Always follow basic safety precautions when using electrical appliances:

• Keep cords, plugs, and components away from water or liquids.
• Unplug the unit when not in use and before cleaning.
• Do not operate with a damaged cord or plug.

• Do not insert metal utensils or oversized foods.
• Do not store items on top of the unit during operation.
• Do not cover the interior with metal foil, as it may cause overheating.

Installation

To reduce the risk of fire, the appliance must be installed on a non-combustible surface in non-combustible surroundings. Ensure there is no combustible material within 18 inches of the sides, front, or rear, or within 40 inches above the appliance. Note: Model 177CVROV14RB requires an individual branch circuit.

Before Use

Before cooking for the first time:

• Ensure support feet are assembled to the unit.
• Thoroughly clean the unit as described in the cleaning section.
• Preheat the oven for 20-25 minutes to reach the correct operating temperature.

Operation Instructions

The oven features three main controls:

• Conveyor Speed: Determines the length of time the product is in the heating chamber. Slower speed results in longer exposure and a darker product.
• Top Heating Element Control: Adjustable from 1 (lowest) to 7 (hottest).
• Bottom Heating Element Control: Adjustable from 1 (lowest) to 7 (hottest).

The top and bottom heating elements are independently controlled. To test settings, place a slice of bread on the conveyor belt and observe the results, adjusting temperature and speed as needed.

Cleaning & Maintenance

Caution: Do not immerse the appliance in water. Use only a damp cloth or sponge with soapy water. Do not use steel wool.

• Exterior: Unplug, allow to cool completely, and wipe with a dry cloth. Wait at least 30 minutes before reconnecting.
• Crumb Tray: Unplug, cool, pull the tray forward to remove, clean with a damp cloth/sponge, dry, and reinsert.
• Conveyor Belt: Turn off and cool. Turn the unit on, set to slow speed with no heat. Use an abrasive pad to wipe the belt side-to-side as it rotates to remove baked-on product. Use a damp cloth for general cleaning.
