CLEANING, CARE & MAINTENANCE
Attention to regular care and maintenance will ensure long and trouble free
operation of your toaster. Although scheduled servicing is not required we do
recommend you adopt a program of regular maintenance to ensure that the Toaster
is clean and functional and to avoid inadvertently damaging the unit.
Ensure the power is off and the toaster is cool before attempting to clean any part
of the machine.
Wipe the toaster down with warm soapy water using a
damp
sponge or cloth.
Do
not
immerse the toaster in water or allow the ingress of water into the
ventilation holes or controls.
Do not
clean this unit with the use of a water jet
or spray applicator.
Use only soapy water to clean the unit
– many industrial chemical cleaners will
damage plastics, polycarbonates or stainless steel, all of which are used in the
construction of these machines. Such damage could severely affect the operation
of the unit and may result in machine failures. Never apply soapy water with a
spray applicator as direct spraying of the machine can result in moisture in the
electrical controls.
Daily cleaning of the crumb tray is essential. The crumb tray may be removed by
sliding it out from the toaster. The crumb tray should be emptied and washed with
warm soapy water.
The top reflector should also be checked and cleaned periodically. The reflector is
located on the underside of the top. To remove the reflector, simply slide it out.
Note:
The reflective surfaces of the crumb tray and top reflector aid the cooking
process. Over time, these surfaces may become tarnished and this reduces the
efficiency and performance of the toaster. To overcome this, aluminium foil can be
wrapped over these two components to restore a good reflective surface. This foil
can then be replaced when necessary.
CAUTION:
Although every care is taken during manufacture to remove all
sharp edges, care should be taken when cleaning and handling the toaster to
avoid injury.
CAUTION:
Some cleaning agents can damage stainless steel, usually through
prolonged use. For this reason we recommend cleaning with soapy water. Any
damage to the unit through the use of harsh or improper cleaning agents is entirely
the fault of the user.
