Step-by-step guide

Step 1
Unplug the toaster and remove the crumb tray.

Step 2
Tip out loose crumbs and shake or sweep the tray into the bin.

Step 3
Spray Universal Cleaner onto the tray, wait two minutes, then wipe with a General Cloth.

Step 4
Spray Universal Cleaner onto the toaster exterior and wipe clean with the cloth.

Step 5
Use the Scrubby Corner of the cloth for any stubborn stains or grease, then buff dry with the clean side.

 

Pro tip

Clean the crumb tray weekly to reduce smoke and smells, and to keep your toaster working at its best.

 

Safety first: Ensure the toaster is unplugged before cleaning and completely dry before reconnecting. Avoid spraying solution near or directly on the electrical elements.

 

Other notes

Empty crumbs regularly to prevent fire risk.

For stainless steel finishes, buff with a dry cloth for extra shine.
