Every time you use your toaster, make sure you follow these instructions!

We don't recommend inserting a knife or any other object into your toaster, whether to clean it, remove a blockage or otherwise. Not only is there a good chance you will damage your toaster, but if switched on you also risk receiving a nasty electric shock!

Toasters should always be situated in a ventilated area. Toasters are often situated under kitchen cupboard, however the build up of heat the toaster causes can get trapped and pose a potential fire risk. Dualit recommends that toasters shouldn't be kept under cupboards or shelves, or when in use, the should be placed away from the cupboard.

Can you remember the last time you cleaned your toaster? Toasters are one of the most regularly used appliances in our kitchens, often in daily use, so a regular clean will help to keep your toaster working well and looking good.
