When it comes to storing a toaster, there are a few things you need to take into consideration. First and foremost, you need to make sure that the toaster is unplugged and cooled down completely before attempting to store it. Once the toaster is cool, you can either wrap it in a clean towel or place it in a plastic bag. If you're going to be storing the toaster for an extended period of time, you may want to consider placing it in a box with some crumpled newspaper around it for extra protection.
When storing a Toaster Oven follow these tips:
-Make sure your Toaster Oven is turned off and has had time too cool down completely;
-Remove any food or grease build-up on the interior and exterior surfaces of your appliance with a damp cloth;
-Wipe down your Toaster Oven door gasket (the silicone seal that runs along the perimeter of the door) with soapy water then rinse; this will help keep the seal pliable and prevent cracking;
-If possible, store your Toaster Oven in its original packaging; if not available, find another suitable storage option that will protect your appliance from scratches or dents (a padded appliance cover can also work well);
-To avoid musty odors, leave the door slightly open when stored; consider placing a sachet of baking soda inside as well
