    • Toaster will be turned upside down. Clear crumb tray or work over a paper towel.

    • Turn the toaster upside down.

    • Unscrew all four 4mm screws on the bottom using a Phillip's head #2 (PH2) screwdriver.

    • Or a slightly different model has six screws that require an allen wrench (hex key). Ones that have a ball end will not work. I had to use one that had more of a Star of David, pointy pattern to it.

Hi there, thanks for this guide. I have a little issue : one of the screws is quite unusual, probably because it’s not meant to be repaired by a poor peasant. It has a little pin in it and I can’t unscrew it with the tools I have. Any tips ?
