Operating Instructions

- Step 3: Push the toast lever down until it locks into place. The toasting cycle will begin.
- Step 4: Once the countdown ends, the toasted bread will automatically pop up.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your toaster.
- Always unplug the toaster and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
- Crumb Tray: Pull out the crumb tray located at the bottom of the toaster. Dispose of crumbs and wipe the tray clean with a damp cloth. Ensure the tray is completely dry before reinserting. Clean the crumb tray regularly to prevent crumb buildup, which can be a fire hazard.
- Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the toaster with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or metal scouring pads, as they may scratch the surface.
- Interior: Never insert any objects into the toaster slots to clean. If food becomes lodged, unplug the toaster and carefully invert it to shake out the food.
- Do not immerse the toaster in water or any other liquid.
