RECAUTIONS
• To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or other electric
parts in water or other liquids.
• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug.
• Do not operate when the appliance is not working properly or when it has been
damaged in any manner. For service information see warranty page.
• Do not use this appliance outdoors.
• Always assure the toaster is OFF (press ‘Cancel’ button) and unplug the
appliance from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before
putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning.
• A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
• Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may
be used if care is exercised in their use. While use of an extension cord is not
recommended, if you must use one, the marked electrical rating of the
detachable power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as
the electrical rating of the appliance. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the
extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord. The cord should be
arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can be
pulled by children or tripped over.
• This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To
reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it
still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug
in any way.
• Do not use an outlet or extension cord if the plug fits loosely or if the outlet or
extension cord feels hot.
• Oversized foods, metal foil packages, or metal utensils must not be inserted in a
toaster as they may involve a risk of fire or electric shock.
• Do not attempt to dislodge food when toaster is plugged in.
• Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad and touch
electrical parts involving a risk of electric shock.
• To avoid circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage appliance on the
same circuit at the same time.
