6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your FOHERE toaster, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Toaster not turning on: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check your household circuit breaker.
• Bread not toasting evenly: Ensure bread slices are centered in the slots. Different types of bread may require slight adjustments to the shade setting. Consider a lower shade setting if toast is too dark, or a higher setting if too light.
• Smoke or burning smell: Unplug the toaster immediately. Check the crumb tray for excessive crumbs and clean it. Ensure no food items are lodged inside the toasting slots.
• Toast stuck in slots: Unplug the toaster and allow it to cool. Carefully remove the stuck item using non-metallic tongs. Never use metal utensils.
