Step-by-Step Guide

1

Unplug and Cool

Unplug the toaster and let it cool completely. Never clean while plugged in.

2

Empty Crumb Tray

Slide out the crumb tray and dispose of crumbs. Wash tray with soapy water.

3

Turn Upside Down

Hold over trash and gently shake to remove loose crumbs from inside.

4

Clean Inside

Use a soft pastry brush to dislodge crumbs stuck to heating elements. Be gentle.

5

Wipe Exterior

Clean outside with damp cloth. For stainless steel, use vinegar solution for shine.

6

Dry Completely

Ensure crumb tray is dry before reinserting. Let toaster air dry fully before use.
