Lincoln Fusion Conveyor Toaster Operating Instructions FAQs
What are the Lincoln Fusion’s Temperature Settings?
The Lincoln Fusion conveyor toaster doesn’t display the temperature setting in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit. Instead, it uses a numeric heat‑intensity scale from 0.5 to 10.0, where 0.5 is the lowest heat setting and 10.0 is the highest.
How Does the Unit Measure the Top vs. Bottom Temperature Balance?
The Lincoln Fusion represents the temperature balance between the top and bottom of the cooking chamber with a number from 5 to 200. Refer to the following guidelines when adjusting the settings:
- 5-95: More Top Heat and Less Bottom Heat
- 100: Equal Heat Top vs. Bottom
- 110-200: More Bottom Heat and Less Top Heat
What Are the Unit’s Belt Speed Settings?
The Lincoln Fusion belt speed can be set anywhere from 0:15 seconds to 5:00 minutes. Remember that a faster speed means that food items will spend less time cooking in the unit while a slower speed indicates that food products will spend more time in the machine.
What Are Some Safety Concerns When Operating the Unit?
Maintain safety while operating the toaster by being mindful of long hair, loose clothing or dangling jewelry as these can get caught in the belt. Also, don’t place food items on parchment paper since it may catch fire inside the machine.
