I have sticky crumbs on bottom but not the tray. They are closer to sides and under the metal dividers. The toaster is smoking from this and the kitchen smells awful. This toaster was too expensive not to have a soft tool of some sort to clean in those places.

Instructions For Use Before First Use Remove all packaging from the product and unwind the power cord. Check that the crumb tray is in place. Check that the toaster slots are empty. Plug the power cord into the mains socket and switch on. Before first use, we recommend that you set the browning level to 6 using the control dial and operate the toaster without any bread to burn off any dust from the new elements.
D efrost Setting The Defrost setting is designed to first defrost and then toast the bread in one automatic cycle. Ensure the toaster is plugged into the mains socket and the toasting lever is in the up position. Select the browning level using the control dial. Press the lever down until it locks into position.
Toasting - Hints & Tips For slightly dry bread, use a lower setting than you normally would. For very fresh or whole wheat bread, use a higher setting than normal. Breads with very uneven surfaces will require a higher toast setting. Thick cut pieces of bread (including bagels) will take longer to toast, sometimes significantly longer, since more moisture must be evaporated from the bread before toasting can begin.
Cleaning & Maintenance Always disconnect the toaster from the mains immediately after use and allow to cool completely before cleaning. Do not immerse the appliance in water or any other liquid or place in a dishwasher. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Simply wipe the exterior with a clean damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
