What should I do if my toaster doesn't turn on?

Ensure the toaster is plugged in properly. Check the outlet by plugging in another appliance. If it still doesn’t work, inspect the power cord for damage and contact customer service if necessary.

Adjust the browning control dial to a lower setting and monitor the toast during the first few uses to find the ideal setting for your preference.

What is the proper way to store the toaster when not in use?

Ensure the toaster is unplugged, clean, and completely dry before storing. Store it in a dry place, preferably covered, to protect it from dust.

Why does my toaster smell like burnt plastic during initial use?
