Troubleshooting
Toaster does not turn on.
Check that the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Ensure the power switch (if applicable) is in the 'on' position. Try a different outlet.
Uneven toasting.
Ensure bread slices are centered within the slots using the self-centering mechanism. Check that the ProHeat® elements are not obstructed. Clean the crumb tray as excess crumbs can affect heating.
Toast is too light or too dark.
Adjust the variable crust browning control to your desired setting. Experiment with settings for different bread types. Use the manual ejector lever to check progress.
Bread gets stuck in the slot.
Ensure the bread is not too thick for the slots. If stuck, unplug the toaster immediately and carefully try to free the bread once it has cooled. Do not use metal objects.
Smoke coming from the toaster.
This is usually due to accumulated crumbs. Unplug the toaster, let it cool completely, and thoroughly clean the crumb tray and accessible areas of the slots.
