CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION

This appliance is intended for household use only.

NEVER LEAVE TOASTER UNATTENDED!

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.

Tips and Troubleshooting

• Toasting is affected by the temperature of the bread. Room tem­perature bread may toast to a medium color on setting 3. The
same type of bread that has been refrigerated may require setting
4, and if frozen, setting 5.

• The moisture content will also affect toasting. Fresh bagels,
made locally, will have a higher moisture content than bagels
purchased in the bread section of the supermarket. The bagel
setting extends toasting time to allow most bagels to toast in one
cycle. Fresh bagels made locally may require two toasting cycles.
