Troubleshooting
Toaster not turning on
Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check your home's circuit breaker.
Uneven toasting
Ensure bread slices are centered within the slots. Clean the crumb tray, as excessive crumbs can affect heating elements. Try using the Single Slice Technology if toasting only one slice.
Bread gets stuck
Unplug the toaster and allow it to cool completely. Gently try to dislodge the bread. Avoid using metal utensils. If persistent, contact customer support.
Burning smell
This may indicate accumulated crumbs. Unplug the toaster, let it cool, and thoroughly clean the crumb tray and interior if accessible. If the smell persists, discontinue use and contact support.
