Dear Toaster Owner,

Congratulations on your purchase. The Hamilton Beach

®

Eclectrics

™

Collection adds a modern twist to those dependable, all-metal
appliances you remember from yesteryear.

Owning a Hamilton Beach

®

is like owning a piece of history. In 1904,
Louis Hamilton and Chester Beach teamed up to bring motorized
appliances like vacuums, sewing machines, and mixers into American
households. In honor of their 100-year legacy, we’ve combined the
“built to last” metal construction of the past with the styling of today
to bring lasting quality and style to your kitchen.

As you use your all-metal appliance, think about the history that came
before it. Enjoy the confidence you have in a product backed by years
of experience and a 3-year warranty. But most of all, fill your home
with the delicious aroma of homemade recipes that your appliance
helps you create!

I hope you enjoy your Hamilton Beach

®

Eclectrics™appliance for many

years to come.

Sincerely,

Michael J. Morecroft
President and Chief Executive Officer
Hamilton Beach/Proctor-Silex, Inc.

er is plugged in.

5. To protect against electrical shock, do not

7. Do not operate toaster with a damaged cord

or plug or after toaster malfunctions or has
been damaged in any manner. Call our toll­free customer service number for informa­tion on examination, repair or adjustment.

8. Oversized foods, metal foil packages, or

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.

11. Do not operate toaster in an enclosed
space, such as an appliance cabinet, caddy,
garage or other storage area.

12. 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 Toasting Guide.

lifter is in “up” position.

use.

21. This product is for household use only.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another
high wattage appliance on the same circuit.

This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug.
This type of plug has one blade wider than the
other.The plug will fit into an electrical outlet only
one way. This is a safety feature intended to help
reduce the risk of electrical shock. If you are unable
to insert the plug into the outlet, try reversing the
plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact a qual­ified electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do
not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the
polarized plug by modifying the plug in any way.

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.
