First, always unplug the toaster and allow it to cool completely. Then, slide out the removable crumb tray, discard crumbs, and wipe it clean with a damp cloth.

A burnt smell is almost always due to accumulated crumbs at the bottom of the toaster burning as the elements heat up. To prevent this, regularly clean out the removable crumb tray. If the smell persists, there might be a piece of food stuck inside the slots that needs to be gently removed (after unplugging and cooling).

Ensure the toaster is plugged into a functional power outlet. The lever usually won't latch if there is no power. If power is present, check for any obstructions in the toasting slots or crumb tray that might be preventing the mechanism from fully engaging.

Ensure bread slices are centered in the slots; the self-centering racks should assist with this. If using very thin or irregular slices, some unevenness can occur. Also, check if the crumb tray is excessively full, as accumulated crumbs can affect heat distribution. Clean the crumb tray regularly.

Unplug the toaster immediately. This is usually caused by accumulated crumbs burning at the bottom. Empty and clean the crumb tray thoroughly. If the smell persists after cleaning, there might be food residue stuck to the heating elements. Ensure the toaster is completely cool before attempting to gently dislodge any visible residue (without using metal objects).

Check if the toaster is securely plugged into a working power outlet. Test the outlet with another appliance. If it's connected to a power strip, ensure the power strip is turned on and functional. Check your home's circuit breaker.

Browning settings can vary slightly with different types of bread and moisture content. Adjust the browning dial accordingly for your specific bread. For instance, denser or moister breads might require a slightly higher setting, while thin, dry bread might need a lower setting.
