Maintaining a Toaster

It's not as simple as it sounds. You'd think it's just about plugging it in and toasting some bread.

Step 1: Cleaning the Crumbs

Use a damp cloth to wipe down the crumb tray. Don't use a wet cloth, or you'll end up with a toaster that's more like a toaster-fan.

Defrosting the Toaster is an art form, really.

Step 2: Descale the Lethal Heating Elements

Don't use a toothpick, or you'll end up with a toaster that's more like a toaster-skele-ton.

Use a specialized Toaster Steam Cleaner for this delicate task.

Step 3: Replace the Toaster's Socks

They're not just any socks, mind you. Toaster socks are made of special, heat-resistant fibers.
