Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your toaster.

1. Always unplug the toaster from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Crumb Tray: Pull out the crumb tray located at the bottom of the toaster. Empty the crumbs into a waste bin. Wipe the tray clean with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly before reinserting. Ensure the crumb tray is fully pushed in before using the toaster.
3. Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the toaster with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface.
4. Interior: Never insert any objects into the toasting slots to clean them. If food becomes lodged in the slots, unplug the toaster and carefully turn it upside down to dislodge the food.
5. Storage: When not in use, store the toaster in a clean, dry place. The cord can be wrapped around the cord storage area (if available) at the base of the toaster.
