POWER SAVE MODE WITH INDICATOR LIGHT
All TQ-400, -800, -1200 and -1800 series toasters have a built-
in Power Save Mode with Indicator light feature. This feature
allows the toaster to go into stand-by and reduces power to the
heating elements by 50%. During the Power Save Mode the
indicator light on the control panel will flash.
To activate press the POWER SAVE Mode button until the
indicator light flashes. See 13 .
NOTE: To place toaster back into full operation push the Power
Save button or turn any knob until the indicator light stops
flashing and stays on. Allow a minimum of 2-3 minutes before
toasting. Unit is back up to full power within 10 minutes.
COLORGUARD SYSTEM
All TQ-400, -800, -1200 and -1800 series toasters use a
patented ColorGuard Sensing System that monitors and
automatically adjust conveyor speed during high usage periods
to assure toast color uniformity.
NOTE: The ColorGuard Sensing System is inoperable for
approximately ten minutes after any heat adjustments are
made.
If the Warning light on the control panel is lit, appliance is
malfunctioning. Turn OFF the power to the unit and allow
to cool. Once cool, disconnect appliance from power
supply and have unit serviced by a qualified technician.
