Troubleshooting
Toaster does not turn on.
Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check if the circuit breaker has tripped.
Toast is unevenly browned.
Ensure bread slices are centered in the slots using the self-centering racks. Check for any obstructions in the slots. Try different browning levels.
Toast is too light or too dark.
Adjust the browning level using the rotary control. Select a lower setting for lighter toast and a higher setting for darker toast. Remember that different bread types may require different settings.
The 'pop-up' mechanism is not working.
Ensure the toaster is unplugged and has cooled. Check the crumb tray for blockages. Gently shake the toaster to dislodge any debris. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
Smell of burning during first use.
This is normal for the first few uses as manufacturing residues burn off. Run the toaster empty on a medium setting a couple of times. If the smell persists after several uses, unplug and contact customer support.
