OPERATION
GENERAL
The Lang Electric Cheese-melter can be used to poach, sauté and brown. In addition
to melting cheese on sandwiches, French onion soup, hot apple pie and casseroles, it
may be used for finishing Italian, Mexican and au gratin dishes utilizing less energy
than conventional broilers.
The product is heated with infrared energy provided by quartz heaters. The rack is
counterbalanced so that maximum heat is supplied only when the product is placed in
the rack.
Although the heating elements are not directly controlled to regulate heat, the
exposure of the product to heat is adjustable. Heat adjustment may be obtained by
raising and lowering the rack position. The shelf positions provide a choice of
cooking positions for a variety of applications. The top position is very hot, and can
be used for quick browning and toasting, with the heat decreasing at each lower
position.
In order to change positions, simply slide the rack in and out of the slots provided.
Make sure that the end of the rack engages the sliding mechanism located on the right
front corner.
CONTROLS
Controls are located on the front panel and consist of the following items:
Power Switch:
A toggle switch used to turn the unit on and off.
Heat Switch:
This toggle switch allows the unit to be operated in either automatic or
constant modes.
Automatic
:
When selected with no product on the rack, the unit is in an
idle condition. Placing a product on the rack will energize the
elements providing heat to the product.
Constant
:
When this mode is selected the elements are energized at all
times whether or not a product has been placed on the rack.
This mode should be used during peak times only, as it will
shorten the life span of the elements.

Left
side only, or
Both
sides. This switch is
found on Lang Model
