  • Spray a mild cleaner or cleanser on to a soft cloth and wipe the appliance using it. Ensure to avoid using any steel wool, abrasive or coarse cleaners as they may leave scratches on the surface. Also, avoid applying or spraying cleaners directly onto the appliance.
  • Use a damp, soft cloth to wipe the outside of the toaster. After wiping, polish it with a dry, soft cloth.
