Cleaning
NOTE: If the toaster is used daily, the crumb tray should be
cleaned weekly.
1. Unplug toaster and let cool.
2. Slide out crumb tray, discard crumbs, and wipe tray with
clean cloth. Replace crumb tray.
3. Wipe outside of toaster with a damp cloth. Do not use abra-
sive cleansers that may scratch the surface of the toaster.

Tips and Troubleshooting

• To remove food that becomes lodged in food slots, discon-
nect from outlet and allow toaster to cool. Turn toaster
upside down and shake. Do not use fork or other utensil
that could damage heating element or result in risk of fire
or electrical shock.
• When toasting a single slice, you may notice variations in
bread color from side to side.
• Setting 9 is the darkest shade of toast color. If a darker
shade is desired, reset at 5. Watch closely and toast for a
second cycle.
