6.2 Cleaning the Exterior

Wipe the exterior of the toaster with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the surface. Ensure the toaster is completely dry before plugging it back in.

6.3 Cleaning the Interior

Do not attempt to clean the interior of the toaster with any sharp objects or metal utensils. If food becomes lodged inside, unplug the toaster, allow it to cool, and carefully turn it upside down to shake out any debris. Never reach inside the toaster with your fingers or any conductive material.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Philips toaster, please refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• Toaster not turning on: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check if the circuit breaker has tripped.
• Toast not browning evenly: Ensure bread slices are centered in the slots. Different types of bread may require different browning settings.
• Carriage lever not staying down: This usually indicates that the toaster is not plugged in or there is no power.
• Smoke coming from toaster: Unplug immediately. This may be due to crumbs accumulating in the bottom of the toaster. Clean the crumb tray thoroughly. If the issue persists, discontinue use and contact customer support.
• Food stuck in toaster: Unplug the toaster and allow it to cool completely. Carefully remove the food using non-metallic tongs. Never use metal utensils.

If the problem persists after trying these steps, please contact Philips customer support.
