TROUBLESHOOTING
The toaster may emit a pungent odor or light smoke the first time you use it.
This is a normal result of the manufacturing process. The odor or smoke is
harmless and will dissipate quickly.
• If the function light remains dark and the toaster fails to heat when
the On/Off Switch is turned to “On”:
Check to see if the toaster is plugged in; if it is, unplug the toaster, then plug
it back in again. A tone will sound when the toaster is plugged into a live
electrical outlet. If no tone sounds, check the electrical circuit the toaster is
connected to – is a fuse blown or a circuit-breaker tripped in your home?
If the problem cannot be corrected, see the KitchenAid Warranty and Service
section on page 25 for service information.*
• If you have difficulty removing the crumb tray:
Lifting the crumb tray handle locks the crumb tray inside the toaster,
preventing removal. Always pull the crumb tray straight from the toaster
without lifting the handle.
• If the function light next to the On/Off Switch flashes:
A flashing function light signals a fault in the toaster electronics. Unplug the toaster
and refer to the KitchenAid Warranty and Service section on page 25 for service
information.*
*Do not return the Toaster to the retailer – they do not provide service.
