Troubleshooting

Toaster is not turning on.

Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a functional electrical outlet. Try plugging another appliance into the same outlet to confirm it has power. Check if any circuit breakers have tripped.

Toast is too light or too dark.

Adjust the browning control dial (if available) to a lower setting for lighter toast or a higher setting for darker toast. Different types of bread may require different settings.

Bread is stuck in the toaster slots.
