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

1. Unplug and Cool: Always unplug the toaster from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Clean Crumb Tray: Pull out the removable crumb tray located at the bottom of the toaster. Discard crumbs and wipe the tray with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly before reinserting.
