The debossed “Sunbeam” logo on each end of the Bakelite base, as well as the engraved words “Lighter/Darker” on the small control knob are restored. Only if needed, the base frame plate is painted on the toasting side as well as the inside crumb tray and “pans” with high temperature ceramic spray paint and cured at 400 degrees (see pictures). This will keep the covers from rusting and causing the chrome to pit. When the bread is toasted, moisture from the toasting process is trapped between the mechanism and the covers. NEW ADDITIONAL PROCESS: I now paint (with high temperature paint) the inside of the chrome ends (if toaster is powder coated, they are also coated on the inside so no painting is needed) and clam shell cover because of rust (see picture).

Again, the Bakelite base has been polished with a professional Eastwood buffer and the appropriate jeweler’s rouge designed for plastic surfaces. The powder coating can withstand temperatures of over 400 degrees. POWDER COATING: When the chrome plating is worn and pitted, I have the clam shell cover and end caps professionally powder coated. The bread carriage receives special attention so all baked-on soil is removed from every nook and cranny.ĬHROME PLATING: All chrome-plated surfaces and the Bakelite base are polished with a professional buffer and the appropriate jeweler’s rouge to achieve the maximum shine of the chrome plating and base.Ħa. PLEASE… if you have one of these toasters, do not use scouring powder or scouring pads on the chrome plating.Īll three heating elements are carefully cleaned for maximum heat reflection. I don’t use any type of scouring product on the chrome pieces. This makes them shine as if they were just manufactured. Metal parts are cleaned with oven cleaner.Īll metal parts, chrome pieces, and the Bakelite base are then put through a genuine Hobart-made KitchenAid KDS-18 dishwasher on Pots/Pans Soak and Scrub cycle. Here is a complete description of the work I perform on each toaster:
