CLEANING THE SLIDE-OUT CRUMB TRAY

  • Remove the Slide-Out Crumb Tray located at the bottom of the Toaster by sliding it out from the side.

  • If the bread is too small to be removed from the Toasting Slot, simply lift the Carriage Lever to raise the Carriage to its uppermost position and then pick up the toasted bread. If you still cannot carefully take out the bread, unplug your Toaster, and use thin heat-resistant tongs to remove the bread from the
    Toasting Slot.
  • Do NOT touch the metal parts as they will be hot!
  • For pop tarts or frozen waffles, toast as directed.
  • ONLY toast food that is meant to be toasted in a slot toaster.
  • If the Toaster jams, the bread might be too thick. Remove the bread from the Toaster and slice it thinly.

What temperature does the Dash toaster operate at?

The Dash Clear View Toaster has a fixed temperature setting optimized for toasting. For recipes requiring adjustments, simply modify the toasting time instead.

How do I clean my Dash toaster?

Unplug the toaster and let it cool.
Remove crumbs from the crumb tray (if available).
Wipe exterior with a damp cloth (never submerge in water).
Use a soft brush (like a pastry brush) to clean inside slots gently.

What do the buttons on a toaster do?

Common functions include:
Bagel Mode: Toasts the cut side while gently warming the outer crust.
Defrost: Extends toasting time for frozen bread.
Reheat: Warms previously toasted food without over-browning.
Cancel: Stops toasting immediately.

What’s the main purpose of a toaster?

A toaster quickly browns bread, bagels, and pastries using radiant heat, making it ideal for breakfast or snacks.

What does the defrost button do?

It extends toasting time to thaw and toast frozen bread simultaneously. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.

Do toaster numbers control time or heat?

Most toasters use timing, not temperature. Lower numbers = shorter toasting (lighter), higher numbers = longer (darker).

How do I remove stubborn stains from my toaster?

For stainless steel models:
Make a paste of baking soda + water.
Gently scrub stains, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.

How do I choose a good toaster?

Look for:
Wide slots (fits bagels, thick bread).
Adjustable browning control.
Removable crumb tray for easy cleaning.
Extra functions (defrost, reheat).
