Westinghouse WST3001BLK - Manual (Page 9)

CARE AND CLEANING:
The toasterSLICER has a crumb tray that will
collect crumbs from both the toasting chamber
and the slicing area. It should be emptied and
cleaned periodically. Before emptying the
crumb tray, always unplug the toasterSLICER
and wait for it to cool down completely. Tap the
sides of the unit lightly to dislodge any crumbs
in the bread slots. Then remove the crumb tray
by pulling the tab on the side of the unit.
Empty crumbs into the garbage and wash the
crumb tray gently in warm, soapy water. Dry
the tray thoroughly before reinstalling it in the
toasterSLICER. NEVER operate the toasterSLICER
without the crumb tray, or if the crumb tray
is wet.
To remove the cutting blade for cleaning, press
the BLADE RELEASE button located below the
plunger, and turn the blade release cap 90
degrees. Then pull up on the blade release cap
to with-draw the blade.
Wash the cutting blade in warm soapy water,
and dry it thoroughly before re-inserting it in
the toasterSLICER. Never operate the
toasterSLICER with a wet cutting blade.
After cleaning, simply grasp the blade release
cap and re-*insert the blade into the top of the
toasterSLICER
, making sure the cutting edge is
facing the plunger. You will feel the blade click
into place when it is aligned properly. It is not
necessary to use the blade release button
when re-inserting the cutting blade. Handle the
cutting blade carefully - it is sharp.
Always make sure the toasterSLICER is unplugged
and completely cooled before cleaning the outside
of the unit. Wipe the outside of the toasterSLICER
with a damp cloth and dry it with a dry cloth or
paper towel.
• NEVER immerse the toasterSLICER
in water.
• NEVER use sharp objects to scrape or
clean the inside of the toasterSLICER.
• NEVER insert your fingers or any
utensils into the bread slots.
• Blades are sharp. Handle carefully.
Always handle blades with hand
away from cutting edge. Always
store blades with cutting edge away
from you.
