[0029] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: In use, first press down the bread rack on the oven body 1 using the lifting handle, then place the bread slices to be toasted into the bread inlet 2. The electric heating plate 3 inside the oven body 1 heats both sides of the bread inlet 2 until the lifting mechanism inside the oven body 1 is triggered, causing the bread rack to spring up and lift the toasted bread slices, completing the toasting process. During toasting, the bread slices are held in place by the bread mesh clamps 8. Because the bread edges are dense and relatively hard during toasting, the chance of crumbs sticking to the bread rack is small. Crumbs stuck to the bread rack can be cleaned by inserting a brush into the bread inlet 2. The heating plate 3 causes the bread mesh clamps 8 to reach a high temperature, causing soft bread crumbs to stick to them. When cleaning is needed inside the toaster, simply turn on the heat... Unlock the mechanism and pull out the rear side panel 4. The two sets of bread rack clips 8 fixed on both sides of the front end of the rear side panel 4 can be easily pulled out, making it easy to clean the bread rack clips 8 on both sides. When the bread slices are heated, the crumbs cleaned off the bread rack clips 8 fall onto the crumb tray 11 for collection. The crumb tray 11 can be pulled out through the rear side panel 4 to empty the crumbs and clean them. This makes it convenient for users to regularly remove and clean the bread rack clips 8, effectively avoiding crumb residue and burnt problems, and further improving food hygiene and safety. The rear side panel 4 makes the entire baking area easy to disassemble and install, further facilitating the user's cleaning and maintenance of the toaster's interior, thus making it easier to clean the interior of the oven body 1. The detachable bread rack clips 8 also make it easy to clean crumbs on the side wall of the electric heating plate 3, solving the problem of inconvenient cleaning of traditional toasters.
