Always unplug and let it cool completely. Wipe the body with a damp cloth and remove the crumb tray for cleaning. Never immerse in water.

Can I toast frozen bread?

What should I do if a slice of bread gets stuck?

Unplug the toaster immediately and let it cool completely. Then gently remove the bread. Do not use sharp metal objects.

Why does the toaster produce smoke or smell when first used?
