Einleitung

This guide will show how to adjust the browning dial in a Black and Decker TR1278B toaster.

Werkzeuge

Schritt 1

Unplug the toaster before disassembly.
Remove the carriage lever by pulling it away from the toaster.

Pulling requires a bit of force as the plastic lever is elastically squeezed over the metal tab and the tab as a little “step” that is visible from below the tab that needs to come out.

Schritt 2

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.

Schritt 3

Detach the bottom from the front cover using the plastic opening tool.

Watch out for opposite side (front end) 2 folding metal clamps that hold the front end and must be lifted up at least partially before the next step of lifting the whole cover.

Note also that opening with plastic tool here requires a bit of “force”. I came at it from the side with a thinner plastic tool to help (not unlike trying to remove a tight bike tire from a wheel rim)

Watch for two folding metal clamps holding the front end. They must be at least partially lifted up before the next step of lifting the cover. Note also that inserting the plastic tool requires some “force”. I came at it a bit more from the side with a thinner plastic tool (cafeteria plastic knife) to help lifting and insert the main plastic tool, not unlike trying to remove a tight tire from a bicycle wheel.

Schritt 4

Turn the toaster right side up.
Support the bottom. The ribbon cable that connects the toaster to the front cover can be damaged.
Lift the front cover.
Lift carefully. Again the ribbon cable can be damaged.
