OPERATING TIPS
We recommend a
“COOK - IDLE”
approach for toasting. This is more energy
efficient then having the elements at a high setting for long periods between
toasting, but still enables a fast toast time.
IDLE
: When not toasting leave the Energy Regulator at a low
– medium heat,
setting 1.5 to 2
Keeps the warm up time to a minimum when toasting is next required.
Keeps the product warm while it awaits serving
Saves energy when compared to leaving the elements on High all the time
COOK:
When toasting is required set the timer for the required time. The timer
turns the toasting elements on High (Cook).
The bread is toasted quickly
The toaster returns to the idle setting at the end of the toast period
During extended periods of non-use we recommend you turn the machine off. Do
not leave the machine on unattended or overnight.
When making toast we recommend that you use day old bread (as opposed to
fresh). Through the use of “day old” bread you will get more evenly coloured toast
and faster toasting times.
When handling the Toast Rack be careful as it could be hot. We recommend using
a cloth or gloves when handling the toast rack. Burns may result if not careful,
and all staff should be forewarned of this hazard.
Pre-made products such as Focaccias are difficult to toast if they are taken directly
from a refrigerated environment. As you toast these items, the “cold” tends to sink
to the bottom of the food and therefore the top tends to toast faster. In these
cases it is advisable to use the lowest toasting position, and the product may need
to be turned during the toasting process. A GMX815 is the most suited unit if
operations of this type will be undertaken regularly.
GMX810 Users
Please note that the GMX810 is a 10 Amp machine. If you have owned a previous
unit that may have been a 15 Amp machine or greater, there will be a reduced
performance and you should examine whether a GMX815 would better suit your
needs.
GMX810G Users
The GMX810G has glass elements and will warm up more quickly than steel
elements. The GMX810G is recommended for applications where the machine is
used sporadically throughout the day. The toasting performance when warm is similar
to metal elements (GMX810).
