Cleaning is done in a simple manner by turning the device. It should avoid the pain of letting go in the break as the construction is of poor quality, although it would be good opportunity to buy a good quality toaster.
After 6 months of use and despair, I finally put it in the trash not wishing to benefit a friend who I would probably scratched his list for this poisoned chalice.
A highly recommended product, clearly designed by people who have never grilled bread all their lives
