    • Use a phillips screwdriver to unscrew the screws.

    • Flip the toaster on the other side and pull the highlighted wire to detach it from the bottom part.

    • You can now seperate the parts to give 2 seperate parts. (The white casing and the electrical body).

    • Although the plastic casing of the transformer has been detached there is still a small piece of plastic holding down the connected wires of the transformer.

    • This can be removed by unscrewing both screws displayed in the images.

    • Once this piece of plastic is no longer bond by screws you are able to completely detach the transformer by pulling the wires out from inside the toaster.

    • The plastic parts should easily come off, however they are still attached to wires and are soldered on. They lead into the main chassis.

    • The next step is to remove any wiring leading into the chassis.

    • Be careful not to pull too hard on the pieces as there may be wires on the inside attached.
