Open one of the side panels (front or rear) exposing the orange silicone belt. By depressing the safety interlock switch at the top of the toaster, rotate the conveyor so that the “flap” is in the front of the conveyor.
WARNING! Do not allow articles of clothing, hands, fingers, or any foreign objects from being caught in the rotating conveyor belt. To stop the conveyor from turning, release the safety interlock switch.
Slide the pin that runs through the zipper under the flap of the belt by grasping it with a pair of needle nose pliers and pulling sideways. DO NOT DISCARD THE PIN. Once the belt is removed, lay it out flat on a clean surface. Using a standard cleaner, wipe down both sides of the belt until clean. Follow cleaning by wiping down both sides of the belt with a standard sanitizer.
