Cleaning mica panels in a toaster

Blueyonder · 2006-03-31T20:29:54+00:00

I've searched the 'net, and can't believe I can't find the answer to this one. I'm sure this group can come up trumps.I have a Dualit toaster, that is no longer toasting evenly. The elements are covered with transparent panels, as clear as glass, but look like they could be mica (the edges are slightly flaky). The mica panels are covered in white, crusty spots (probably cheese and butter splashes).So - what can I use to clean these deposits? The panels are very clear, and I don't want to use anything that will abrade the surfaces. A dry toothbrush alone does not get the deposits off, and I am a bit wary of using water or soap.Any suggestions?-- JJ

What are you saying the element wires were supported on before mica? The original dualits I fixed were all mica sheet based elements.
