Troubleshooting
Toaster does not turn on.
Ensure the toaster is plugged into a working outlet (using a UK adapter if necessary). Check that the power cord is securely connected to the toaster and the adapter.
Uneven toasting.
Ensure bread slices are centered in the slots. Try a different browning level. Clean the crumb tray and ensure no debris is obstructing the heating elements.
Toast is too light or too dark.
Adjust the variable browning control to a lower or higher setting. Experiment with settings 1-6 to find your preference.
Warming rack not heating.
