When using electric appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the
following:

1. Read all instructions.

2. Do not operate toaster while unattended.

3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.

4. Do not attempt to dislodge food when toaster is plugged in.

5. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plug, or toaster in water or other
liquid.

6. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or
taking off parts, or moving toaster.

7. Do not operate toaster with a damaged cord or plug or after toaster malfunctions or has
been damaged in any manner. Call our toll-free customer service number for information
on examination, repair or adjustment.

8. Oversized foods, metal foil packages, or utensils must not be inserted in a toaster as they
may involve a risk of fire or electric shock.

9. Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off pad and touch electrical parts
resulting in risk of electrical shock.

10. A fire may occur if toaster is covered or touching flammable material, including curtains,
draperies, walls, overhead cabinets, paper or plastic products, cloth towels, and the like,
when in operation.

Shock Hazard

• Do not immerse this appliance in water or other liquid.

• This appliance has a polarized plug (one wide blade) that reduces the risk of electrical shock.
The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
plug by modifying the plug in any way or using an adaptor. If the plug does not fit, reverse
the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.

To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage appliance on the same circuit.
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tan-

gled in, or tripping over, a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may
be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the
toaster. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the coun­tertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
