2. CT16 Toaster Operational Description
The CT16 Toaster is designed to produce fresh, uniformly toasted buns on an "as needed” basis. The
countertop-mounted unit consists of a cabinet, a computer, a heating element and a pair of conveyor
assemblies.
When the unit is turned on, an electrical heating element (called a platen) is energized. The platen
heats up to a programmed temperature referred to as the setpoint. At the same time, both conveyor
assemblies are activated. When a bun is placed into one of the slots at the top of the cabinet, the
conveyor belts gently carry it through the unit, with the cut face of the bun passing over the heated
platen. As the bun passes over the platen, it is toasted. At the end of the process, the bun is deposited
onto a holding tray.
The computer allows the operator to adjust the setpoint to obtain desired toasting characteristics.
Compression adjustment knobs also allow the operator to adjust the compression of heels and crowns
as they pass through the toaster.
3. Installation/Setup
Upon arrival, inspect the toaster for concealed damage. Immediately report any damage to the
delivering freight company. Claims must be filed within 15 days after receipt of the unit.
Power Requirements:
ALL ELECTRICALLY OPERATED APPLIANCES MUST BE ELECTRICALLY GROUNDED IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL CODES, OR
IN THE ABSENCE OF LOCAL CODES, WITH THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE (ANSI/NFPA NO. 70-1990) OR THE
CORRESPONDING NATIONAL CODE OF THE COUNTRY IN WHICH INSTALLED.
THIS APPLIANCE IS EQUIPPED WITH A GROUNDING PLUG FOR YOUR PROTECTION AGAINST SHOCK HAZARD AND MUST BE
PLUGGED INTO A PROPERLY GROUNDED RECEPTACLE. DO NOT CUT OR REMOVE THE GROUNDING PRONG FROM THIS PLUG!

Voltage: 208VAC or 240VAC depending on model ordered
Frequency: 60 Hz (non-CE) or 50 Hz (CE and Australian models)

Phase: Single
Service: 30 Amp
Setup:
Setup of the toaster consists of unpacking the unit, placing it on a sturdy table or countertop adjacent to
a properly grounded AC outlet of appropriate voltage, removing the cardboard packing inserts, installing
the bun feeder in the slot on top of the cover, and plugging it in. NOTE: The cover must be closed to
install the bun feeder, and the bun feeder must be removed to open the cover.
The unit is shipped with a programmed setpoint of 550°F (288°C), upper crown compression knob set
to 4, lower crown compression knob set to 5, upper heel compression knob set to D, and lower
compression knob set to E. The operator may change these settings to attain desired toasting.
4. Operation
1. Press the ON/OFF
button. The word LOW will appear in the green LED display window. The
unit will take about 10 minutes to reach operating temperature, at which time the display will change
to REDY, indicating the toaster is ready for use.
2. Load buns into the appropriate slots (Heel or Crown) one at a time, with the cut faces toward the
rear of the unit. The unit will toast the buns and transfer them to the holding tray.
3. Adjust the setpoint and bun compression as necessary to achieve desired toasting.
5. Viewing and Adjusting The Setpoint
To view the platen temperature: Press the
button once. The temperature in degrees Fahrenheit
will appear in the green LED display window. To view the current setpoint, press the

buttons in that order. The current setpoint will appear in the LED display. To increase
the setpoint, press the
button; to decrease it, press the
button.
2. When the desired setpoint is displayed, press the
button once. Press the ON/OFF
button. If
the platen is within 20°F (11°C) of the setpoint, the display will show REDY. Otherwise, the display
will show LOW or HIGH until the platen is within 20°F (11°C) of the setpoint, at which time the
display will change to REDY.

6. Adjusting Bun Compression
1. There are two pairs of compression adjustment knobs (one pair numbered 1-5, the other lettered A-
E), as shown in the accompanying illustration. Factory settings are circled.

2. Settings A and 1 cause the greatest bun compression (that is, the thinnest bun after toasting).
7. Changing Belts
1. Turn the unit off (press the ON/OFF
button) then unplug it. If the unit has been in operation,
allow it to cool for about 1½ hours. TIP: Change belts in the morning, prior to turning the toaster
on.
2. Remove the bun feeder, and then open the cover.
3. Set the bun compression knobs to positions E and 5.
4. Press down on the top roller and move it to the retracted (down) position. (NOTE: Each side of the
roller must be locked down.)

6. Slip the old belt off the rollers and slip the new belt on. When the replacement belt has been
properly positioned between the raised edges of its rollers, rotate the tray stabilizer latch to the
latched position.
7. Press down on the top roller to unlock it and allow it to extend.
8. Close the cover. Return the bun compression knobs to their previous settings.

PROBLEM
PROBABLE CAUSES
CORRECTIVE ACTION
A. Adjust the compression knobs to achieve
desired compression. Moving them to a
lower setting will increase compression.
Moving them to a higher setting will
decrease compression. Make sure both
pairs of knobs are on the same setting.
Buns are too thick or too
thin.
A. Compression knobs on an improper
setting for desired compression.
A. Shut down and clean unit, paying
particular attention to grooves in rollers
and condition of belts.
A. Belt slippage.
Buns are toasting
inconsistently.
B. Incorrect belt speed, faulty platen heater,
or faulty controller.
B. Call FASC.
9. Preventive Maintenance
The toaster should be cleaned on a daily basis. Remove the cover. Remove the belts, wash them in
solution of detergent and warm water, and dry them thoroughly. Use a basting brush or similar soft-
bristled brush to whisk crumbs from the unit. Alternatively, a small vacuum may be used to remove
crumbs from the unit. Wipe down all metal surfaces with cloth dampened with a solution of detergent
and warm water, the wipe again with a cloth dampened with clean warm water. If necessary, use a
stiff-bristled brush to dislodge stubborn residue from the grooves in the rollers, then wipe them down.
Additionally, Frymaster recommends that a Frymaster Factory Authorized Service Technician inspect
this appliance at least annually as follows:
•
•
Inspect all wiring for signs of chafing, kinking, and/or loose connections.
Verify that all mechanical and electronic components are securely mounted (i.e., screws and nuts
and bolts are tight.)
•
Verify that idler roller springs are in serviceable condition (i.e., rollers are held securely in the top of
the J-slots and belts do not slip).
