reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and

8. Close supervision is required when any appliance is used near or by children or
invalids.

is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or a qualified person in
order to avoid an electrical hazard.

10. Do not use the appliance if it has been dropped or damaged in any way. In case
of damage, take the unit in for examination and/or repair by an authorised service

manufacturer may result in injuries, fire or electric shock.

15. A short cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

16. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or counter. Ensure that the cord
is not in a position where it can be pulled on inadvertently.

comply with the above mentioned pre-cautions and instructions, could affect the
safe operation of this machine.

26. When using only one of the toasting slots, don’t let anything get into the other
slot, as both slots will become “live” when you lower the bread carriage handle.

remove the bread that’s jamming it. Don’t use anything sharp, such as a knife or
