Step 3

With the dial facing you, push the toaster base up and away until the base is just over the lip of the shell. This will disconnect the browning dial from the rest of the toaster.
When reassembling the toaster, make sure that the back of the dial lines up with the slot, both in position and orientation (the dial and slot are not perfect circles - they have a notch).
The only object holding the shell onto the toaster now is the grey part of the lever.

Use soap and water to clean the spring and rod. If you can not complete the third bullet, just brush of the debris as the soap will remove the lubricant.
Ensure there are no crumbs restricting the compression of the spring or movement along the pole.
Now use a commercial lubricant, such as WD-40, to re-lubricate the pole and springs.
