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.
Uneven toasting
Ensure bread is centered within the slots. Try adjusting the browning control. Clean the crumb tray as excessive debris can affect performance.
Toast gets stuck
Use the high-lift lever to raise the toast. If still stuck, unplug the toaster and allow it to cool completely before carefully attempting to dislodge the bread. Never use metal utensils.
Smell of burning plastic on first use
This is normal for the first cycle as protective oils burn off. Run it empty on a medium setting once. If the smell persists on subsequent uses, unplug and contact customer support.
