Polarized Plug
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety
feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in 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.
• The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the haz-
ards 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.
Important Safeguards
(cont’d)
CAUTION:
• Do NOT toast fresh pastries with soft, butter frosting, as it will melt and drip
inside the toaster and become very difficult to clean.
• Do NOT place buttered bread or wrapped food into the toaster.
• Do NOT toast torn or partial slices of bread, use whole slices only.
1. Remove all packaging materials including those that may be inside the toasting
slots or toasting level slots.
2. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly. Do NOT use abrasive
cleaners.
3. Do NOT put the toaster, cord or plug in water.
4. Be sure both crumb trays are pushed all the way into the back of the toaster and
the toasting levers are in the UP position.
5. Unwrap power cord from cord storage area on the underside of the toaster and
plug into a 120V AC outlet.
6. Turn both of the browning selector knobs to “1” (the lightest setting).
7. Lower both of the toaster levers until they lock into place. Operate without bread
once or twice to burn off any manufacturing residue. You may notice a light
amount of smoke—this is normal and will stop as the heating elements continue
to heat.
Before Using for the First Time
NOTE: If the toaster is used daily, the crumb trays should be cleaned weekly.
1. Unplug the toaster and let cool.
2. Slide open crumb tray, discard crumbs and wipe tray with clean cloth. Replace
crumb tray.
3. Wipe the outside of toaster with a damp cloth. Do NOT use abrasive cleaners that
may scratch the surface of the toaster.
