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 qual-
ified 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 exten-
sion cord so that it will not drape over the counter-
top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by chil-
dren or accidentally tripped over.
