What to do about crumbs and debris falling into my Point Pod Pop-Up Outlet?

Crumbs can easily fall into the gap around the Point Pod, especially in a kitchen setting. Fortunately, the Point Pod is designed with small weep holes around the mounting flange, allowing smaller crumbs to fall through to the cabinet below, where they can be wiped away.

For larger crumbs or debris that do not fall through:

1. Vacuum Method: Use a handheld vacuum cleaner like a Dyson to suck up the crumbs from the Point Pod hole. This is usually sufficient for most debris.

2. Manual Cleaning: If larger debris remains, you can manually remove the Point Pod for thorough cleaning:

  • Disconnect the power by turning off the Point Pod at the wall and unplugging it.
  • Use a screwdriver to loosen the clamp holding the Point Pod in place.
  • Slide the Point Pod out, then clean any debris or crumbs using a vacuum or damp cloth.
  • Reinsert the Point Pod, ensuring it is correctly aligned, and tighten the clamp to secure it.

By keeping the Point Pod and surrounding area clean, you’ll maintain its functionality and appearance.
