      If the Groovy Belt Wrap(s) stop turning, but the Conveyor Chain continues to turn on your A.J.Antunes Toaster, it is likely due to excessive caramelizing buildup on the underside of the Groovy Belt Wrap(s) and Conveyor Chain. Clean the Belt Wrap and Chain as per current MRC, TS 019.

      If the display on your A.J.Antunes Toaster reads “CHEC,” it indicates that the ambient temperature in the control compartment is too high.
