Unfortunately, our Brown "MultiToast HT 550 long slot toaster" has adjusted to exactly 2 years and two weeks toasting, although we only used it about twice a week. Previously, we have observed that, even with careful use of this machine, the tanning results were often very random and not always depended on the setting of the variable browning control. Yesterday the unit has set its function. The bread lifter (Original Jargon von Braun) no longer engages and the bread in the toaster is not toasted.
If you attempt to open the device (you need an indoor multi-tooth Torx screwdriver) is also turned out that a screw was probably so badly damaged by the manufacturer, that it can not be unscrewed (she was inside round). Thus, the repair attempt was missing.
