P
RODUCT DESCRIPTION
The ST-2 toaster will brown numerous
types of bread, such as standard loa-
ves, rolls, currant buns, sweet bread,
etc., on one or both sides.
It includes a horizontal conveyor belt
offering multiple possibilities in spite
of its very small size intended to redu-
ce the occupied space on the worktop
as much as possible.
This appliance is supplied for its con-
nection to a 230V 50/60 Hz power
supply. It has 2 on/off switches (upper
/ lower radiant heat) and a belt speed
selector.
Warning: This manual contains very
important instructions for the installa-
tion, operation and safety of the
equipment. Users are requested to
read these instructions before using
the toaster. Failure to comply with the
said instructions may cause personal
injury and severe physical damage and
will void the warranty.
B
EFORE INSTALLING THE APPLIANCE
Upon receipt of your appliance, remo-
ve it from its packaging and inspect it
to see if it has suffered any damage.
Should any defect be found, keep the
complete package and contact the
carrier within 24 hours.
Noncompliance of the instructions
detailed in this manual will cancel any
right to lodge claims with SAMMIC and
to receive any compensation for dama-
ges.
I
NSTALLATION
Place your ST-2 toaster at such loca-
tion as you think proper for easy clea-
ning, maintenance and use in general.
Avoid installation sites subject to
currents or next to electrical applian-
ces releasing steam or fat; do not ins-
tall near sources of heat. A ca. 30mm
clearance is required on both sides
and at the rear of the appliance to
ensure adequate ventilation. For its
correct operation, the toaster must be
levelled and for this purpose, it has
been fitted with 4 adjustable feet.
Before starting the appliance, make
sure all parts have been mounted per-
fectly:
The toast collecting tray is packed
separately and must be fitted before
switching on the appliance. Insert the
collecting tray - curved end first - into
the void that exists under the conve-
yor belt. Check the curved end rests
on the two catches at the back of the
toaster.
WARNING
It is essential that the mains voltage
should be as specified on the toaster
nameplate. Connection to a different
voltage or using inadequate plugs may
lead to personal injury, would damage
the appliance and void the warranty.
P
OWER SPECIFICATIONS
The electric circuit the applicance will
be connected to shall be properly
dimensioned and rated so as to meet
the requirements specified on the
toaster nameplate, in accordance with
National Electric Codes and local regu-
lations.

HARACTERISTICS OF THE CONTROL PANEL
Upper on/off switch: when made, this
switch starts the toaster, the upper
resistors warming up.
Lower on/off switch: when made, this
switch starts the toaster, the lower
resistors warming up.
For the machine to operate at full hea-
ting power (both upper and lower
resistors on), the two switches must
be turned on.
Switch on the appliance 10 minutes
before starting toasting bread, to
allow temperature to rise to an ade-
quate level for the process required.
Belt speed variator: select the belt
speed according to the type of bread
to be toasted and its moisture con-
tent.
T
OASTING BREAD
Although toasting bread may seem, in
principle, to be a very simple process,
there is a number of factors which
influence the result significantly. One
of these factors is the type of product
that is going to be toasted. Wholemeal
bread, rye bread, white bread, sweet
bread, rolls, etc. are so many types of
bread which need specific adjus-
tments if toasting is to be as desired.
Bread dryness or moisture content
(bread freshness: the higher the mois-
ture content, the fresher the bread
loaf), the sugar content, the thickness
of a slice or roll are determinants of
the toasting results. Your ST-2 toaster
has been designed to process all those
varieties of bread; adjusting the belt
speed enables more or less toasting,
so that products with a higher moistu-
re content, such as sweet bread or
some types of rolls, can be toasted
harder.
Bread containing fruits and nuts fall
within a special category, deserving a
special treatment. When heated, this
type of bread may crumble, with frag-
ments getting into the belt mechanism
and causing premature wear of the
appliance. Therefore, we recommend
that any loose fragments be removed
before placing the piece of bread on
the belt. Since it is impossible to esta-
blish in advance which speed range
permits to obtain the best results,
users should carry out previous expe-
riments on all types of bread they
intend to toast. On completion of such
tests and having determined the
appropriate settings in each case,
users should record them for future
reference. Remember, bread freshness
makes special adjustment necessary.
If you have to toast a great quantity of
products, at peak hours for instance,
you will need to set up the appliance
accordingly and then again when there
is a demand for one single toast. The
inside of a toaster is very hot, when
the resistors are on and no piece of
bread passes through it. Under these
circumstances, with the toaster empty
and hot, if you have to toast only one
slice of bread, this will brown more
rapidly and you will probably have to
increase the belt speed in order to
compensate for heat. By contrast,
when few toasts are being produced
and there is a sudden rise in demand,
the belt speed will have to be reduced,
since a larger volume of bread lowers
the temperature inside the toaster.
During such transitory periods, increa-
se or reduce the belt speed as appro-
priate. Also, we recommend that a low
speed is set for thicker products or
when the toaster is still cold, whilst a
higher speed should be used for thin-
ner slices or when the toaster has
been on and empty for a certain lapse
of time.
