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. Test with another appliance to confirm the outlet is functional.
Uneven toasting
Verify that the bread is centered in the slots. Ensure no obstructions are present. If the issue persists, try a different browning setting or check the heating elements for visible damage (unplug and cool first).
Toast is too light or too dark
Adjust the browning control dial to a lower or higher setting as needed. Experiment with different settings to find your preferred level for various types of bread.
Smoke coming from the toaster
Unplug the toaster immediately and allow it to cool. Empty and clean the crumb tray thoroughly, as accumulated crumbs can cause smoke. Ensure no food particles are stuck inside the slots.
