Cleaning
NOTE: If the toaster is used daily, the crumb tray should be
cleaned weekly.
1. Unplug toaster and let cool.
2. Place the toaster on its side,
as shown. Open the Crumb
Tray and wipe off with clean
cloth, then close.
3. Wipe outside of toaster with a
damp cloth. Do not use
abrasive cleansers that may
scratch the surface of the toaster.
Tips and Troubleshooting
• Toasting is affected by the temperature of the bread, room
temperature or frozen; the moisture content, fresh or several
days old; and the size, thick or thin.
• To remove food that becomes lodged in food slots,
disconnect from outlet and allow toaster to cool. Turn
toaster upside down and shake. Do not use fork or other
utensil that could damage heating element or result in risk of
fire or electrical shock.
• The Dark Toast setting is the darkest shade of toast color. If
a darker shade is desired, watch closely and toast for two
cycles.
• When toasting a single slice you may notice variations in
bread color from side to side.
