Use
Correct Toast Setting
Your Conveyor Toaster is designed to toast bread products in buffet and kitchen environments. To achieve optimum performance, make sure that any user understands how to operate and control the toaster for its intended use.
Warm-Up Procedures
Dualit always recommends this procedure when time is available. Switch on and allow your Conveyor Toaster to run empty. The Conveyor Toaster will be fully warm after 30 minutes. This procedure produces the most consistent toasting results, and no adjustment of the toast settings is required by the operator once toasting has started. See the diagram below and the table on page 11, which help explain the differences between Quick Start and Full Warm Start procedures.
Chart
Toasting
Plug in and switch on your Conveyor Toaster at the wall. Choose your function by turning the Function Control Dial to the desired setting.
Toast
- The top and bottom elements are on. Both sides of the bread will be toasted.
Bagel
- Only the bottom element is on. Place bagels, cut side down, on the conveyor.
Standby
- Do not use for toasting. See page 12 for details.

Usage Types
- Continuous Toasting (toast every 1-5 secs)
Back-to-back or larger batches. - Intermittent Toasting (toast every 5-30 secs)
- Buffet Toasting (toast every 30+ secs)
#Irregular intervals over 30 seconds, used on demand.
STANDBY MODE
During periods of inactivity, you can use Standby Mode to reduce the power consumption of your appliance by up to 70%. When you are ready to go again, switch the control dial to either ‘TOAST’ or ‘BAGEL’ and, in normal conditions, your machine will be ready to toast in just 2 minutes; that’s a 50% time saving over Quick Start. After 15 minutes on standby, your Conveyor Toaster will have used the same amount of energy as it would to get from room temperature to Quick Start temperature. As such, Dualit recommends switching the device off if you don’t intend to use it for longer than 15 minutes.
Your toaster is fitted with a temperature-limited thermostat. During periods of inactivity, longer than 5 minutes, the elements will turn off (indicated by the red power indicator going off). Only introduce bread to the conveyor when the red light is on and the elements are glowing cherry red.
TECHNICAL PARAMETERS
ANTI-TAMPER
Your Conveyor Toaster features a removable Anti-Tamper Guard. Note: Before setting up your Conveyor Toaster, ensure that you remove the legs and Anti-Tamper Guard from the polyfoam insert in the bottom of the box. For buffet environments, Dualit recommends fitting the AntiTamper Guard to avoid customers adjusting the Toast Settings Dial. The Guard should be fitted using M4 x 10.0mm screws and a Phillips head screwdriver. After selecting the correct toast settings, the Anti-Tamper Guard can be fitted as follows.
- Remove the two screws seen on the left and right-hand sides of the controls. Align the Anti-Tamper Guard with the screw holes.
- Insert and tighten the left-hand screw.
- Insert and tighten the right-hand screw. To remove, repeat in reverse order.
Cleaning
- Remove the Crumb Tray. From a cold start, set the Conveyor Toaster Dualit DCT2T Conveyor Toaster to standby. Select toast setting 9.
- Unplug from mains, leave to cool for a minimum of 1 hour, then wipe all external Dualit DCT2T Conveyor Toaster surfaces with a damp, non-abrasive cloth.
- Remove the Crumb Tray, tip out all of the crumbs, then clean with a Dualit DCT2T Conveyor Toaster a damp cloth and replace.
Thermal Protection
Your Dualit Conveyor Toaster is fitted with a Thermal Protection Device. This is intended to protect the product and user in the event of a thermal overheat. The Thermal Protection Device will activate if:
- There is insufficient ventilation surrounding the product.
- There is a fault with the product.
If you find that your toaster’s red “POWER” light is not illuminating, the belt is not turning, and the elements are not heating, the Thermal Protection Device may have activated. First, check the Plug Fuse and replace e if necessary. If the toaster’s red “POWER” light is still not illuminating, you need to reset the Thermal Protection Device.
