The Dash Clear View Toaster (Model No.: DVTS501) is a modern kitchen appliance designed for toasting bread and other items with enhanced visibility and control. Its primary function is to toast bread, bagels, and waffles, offering specific settings for defrosting and reheating.
Function Description:
The toaster features a unique clear view glass panel that allows users to monitor the toasting process, ensuring desired browning levels and preventing burning. It is equipped with two wide toasting slots, accommodating various bread types and thicknesses. The appliance offers seven browning levels, controlled by a Browning Dial, providing precise control over the toast's crispness. Dedicated buttons for "Defrost," "Reheat," and "Bagel" functions simplify operation. The "Defrost" setting thoroughly toasts frozen bread with an extended cycle, while "Reheat" warms already toasted bread or bread that isn't browned enough. The "Bagel" function toasts bagels using only one side of the heating element, ensuring a perfectly toasted cut side and a gently warmed crust. A "Cancel" button allows users to stop the toasting process at any time. The Carriage Lever initiates the toasting cycle and can be lifted to raise smaller items for easier removal.

Maintenance Features:
- Slide-Out Crumb Tray: Located at the bottom of the toaster, this tray slides out easily for convenient cleaning of accumulated crumbs. Regular cleaning of the crumb tray is crucial to prevent fire hazards and lingering food odors. It should be washed with warm, soapy water, rinsed, and dried thoroughly.
- Cleaning the Glass Panel: The Glass Panel can be removed for thorough cleaning. To do this, the Slide-Out Crumb Tray must be empty. The toaster should be turned upside down or on its side, the Glass Panel Clamp gently pressed, and the panel slid out. It should be washed with warm, soapy water, rinsed, and dried thoroughly before being slid back into its grooves until the clamp locks into place.
- General Cleaning: The exterior of the toaster should be wiped down with a damp cloth. It is important not to submerge the unit in water. Abrasive scrubbers, sponges, or chemical cleaners should be avoided as they can damage the appliance.
- Storage: When not in use, the toaster should be stored in a clean, dry place, with the power cord neatly wound.
- Troubleshooting: If the Carriage Lever gets stuck or the toaster jams, users are advised to unplug the appliance, allow it to cool, and then clear the obstruction. For more complex issues or repairs, customers are directed to contact StoreBound Customer Service.
