What Clean Right Product Sensor
actually means.
The ITQ saves energy by sensing when product enters the toaster, using product sensors and reflectors. When crumbs or grease cover them, the control asks for cleaning with Clean Right, Clean Left or Clean Both Product Sensors. The manual asks for clean sensors and reflectors and correct wiring, with a sensor kit as the fallback.

What to do when Clean Right Product Sensor shows on the commercial applianceKind of codeSensors and probes
A probe is handing the controller a reading it cannot trust, or none at all: a box or coil sensor torn loose from its clip, a fryer probe coated in carbon from oil left too long between filterings, a combi core probe with a kinked cable, or a connector gone green from steam and cleaning chemicals. The unit then runs on, stops, or shuts the heat or the cooling off to protect itself. Letting it cool and restarting it as the manual describes is fair; a probe that still reads wrong sits behind a panel, and that is a visit.

Before you book,
in this order.

Switch the toaster off and let it cool.
Wipe the named product sensor and its reflector with a soft, damp cloth.
Restart and feed a slice to see whether the toaster reacts.
If the message returns on clean sensors, book a visit for the sensor wiring.

What not to do
This message is about product detection, not heat. It will not stop an element from working, but the toaster may not wake up for product.
