Remove the crumb tray by pulling it out from the bottom of the toaster. Empty the crumbs and wash the tray with warm, soapy water. Dry thoroughly before replacing it.

While the toaster is designed primarily for bread and bagels, the defrost function can be used for frozen waffles. However, it is not optimized for waffles.

Troubleshooting
