Maintenance
Regular cleaning ensures the longevity and safe operation of your toaster.
1. Cleaning the Crumb Tray
The toaster is equipped with a removable crumb tray for easy cleaning. After each use, or when crumbs accumulate, slide out the tray from the bottom of the toaster. Discard crumbs and wipe the tray clean with a damp cloth. Ensure the tray is completely dry before reinserting it.

Wipe the exterior of the toaster with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish. Ensure the toaster is unplugged and completely cool before cleaning.
3. Cleaning Interior
Never insert metal objects into the toaster slots. If food becomes lodged, unplug the toaster and allow it to cool completely before carefully removing the food. Do not shake the toaster to remove crumbs, as this can damage internal components.
