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 electric parts outdoors, or place them on or near a gas or electric
burner, in a heated oven, or in the refrigerator.
• To disconnect, turn any control to “off”, them remove plug from wall outlet.
• Always assure the toaster is OFF (all indicator lights off) 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.
• Your toaster has a short cord as a safety precaution to avoid pulling, tripping or
entanglement. Position the cord so that it does not hang over the edge of the
counter, table or other area or touch hot surfaces.
• While use of an extension cord is not recommended, if you must use one, make
sure the cord has the same or higher wattage as the toaster (wattage is stamped
on the underside of the toaster base). Position the extension cord so that it does
not hang over the edge of the counter, table or other area or touch hot surfaces.
• Use an electrical outlet that accommodates the polarized plug on the toaster. On
a polarized plug, one blade of the plug is wider than the other. If the plug does
not fit fully into the outlet or extension cord, reverse the plug. If the plug still does
not fit fully, contact a qualified electrician. Do not alter the plug.
• Do not use an outlet or extension cord if the plug fits loosely or if the outlet or
extension cord feels hot.
• Do not insert oversized foods, metal foil packages, metal utensils or any metal
objects into toaster slots at any time.
• 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, creating shock hazard.
• To avoid circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage appliance on the
same circuit at the same time.
