■ Do not use with food that has been spread with butter, jelly,
frosting, etc.
■ Do not use with rice cakes, fried foods, frozen prepared foods
or non-bread items.

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.

■ 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.
■ Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off pad
and touch electrical parts resulting in risk of electrical shock.
■ A fire may occur if the 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.
■ Do not operate the toaster in an enclosed space, such as an
appliance cabinet, caddy, garage or other storage area.
■ Do not cook, warm, or toast rice cakes, fried foods, non-bread
items or toaster pastries. Toaster pastries should be heated in a
toaster oven broiler. Do not heat any food product that has
been spread or iced with margarine, butter, jelly, frosting, syrup,
or other spread. Follow the Toasting Guide.
■ Failure to clean the crumb tray may result in a fire hazard.
■ Do not place the toaster on or near a hot gas or electric burner,
or in a heated oven.
■ Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
■ The use of accessory attachments not recommended by
Hamilton Beach/Proctor-Silex, Inc. may cause injuries.

touch hot surfaces, including the stove.

“up” position.

OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION
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 tangled 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.
