Carefully pull the toaster lever straight off. It may require a fair amount of force and wiggling back and forth.

Remove the 4 screws on the bottom of the toaster. One screw has already been removed in this picture. It was lost in a terrible screwing accident and will make no appearance in this guide.

At this point the front and back plastic panels should fall away from the toaster. Do not worry if they do not; that will be addressed later in the guide.

Pull the bread crumb tray out by pulling it towards the front and slightly away from the toaster. It is also possible to rip it out with brute force and repair any damage to the sheet metal with a pair of pliers
