IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
1. Read all instructions carefully before using your toaster. Save these instructions for future reference.
2. Remove all packaging before using this product. We advise to keep the original packaging until you are
satisfied the product is operating correctly.
3. To protect against electrical shock, do not place cord, plug or toaster in water or other liquid.
4. Position the toaster on a firm, level, heat-resistant surface, close to an electrical outlet and out of the reach
of children.
5. A fire may occur if toasters are covered or touching flammable material, including curtains, draperies and
the like, when in operation.
6. The area around the toasting slots will become hot during use. Do not touch these surfaces during opera-
tion.
7. When using only one toast slot, do not allow anything to enter the other slot(s), as all slots are “on” when
the On/extra lift lever is lowered.
8. Do not allow the toasting slots to become covered during operation.
9. Do not cover the air inlet on the bottom of the toaster.
10.Do not toast items with butter or jam or make toasted sandwiches, as this could cause a fire hazard.
11.Pita bread and similar food products are unsuitable for use in an automatic toaster as they may expel fats
onto the heating elements, creating a fire hazard.
12.Do not use torn, curled up, or misshapen slices of bread, as these may jam the eject mechanism.
13.Should the On/extra lift lever become jammed during the toasting cycle do not attempt to release it. Unplug
the toaster and allow it to cool down before carefully removing the bread. Do not use a knife, fork or other
sharp implement as this may cause damage to the heating elements.
14.Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
15. Do not touch hot surface. Use handles or knobs
16.After use, unplug the toaster and let it cool down fully before cleaning and storing away.
17.Clean the crumbs out of your toaster frequently. This will avoid a build up of crumbs which could cause a
fire hazard (see ”Cleaning and Maintenance").
18.Do not operate the toaster unless the crumb tray is correctly fitted.
19.Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
20.Do not place toaster on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
21.Do not use outdoors.
22.Always plug cord into the electrical outlet before turning on any controls. To disconnect, turn the controls
"Off" by pressing the Cancel button, then remove plug from outlet.
23.Oversize foods, metal foil packages, or utensils must not be inserted into the toaster as they may cause the
risk of fire or electrical shock.
24.Do not use accessories or attachments other than those provided by the manufacturer.
25.Do not use the toaster for any purpose other than those described in these instructions.
26.Do not attempt to dislodge food when the toaster is plugged in.
27.Do not operate this appliance after it malfunctions or if the power cord or plug is damaged. Return appli-
ance to an authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment.
HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
• A short power 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.
• If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating should be at least as great as the electrical
rating of the appliance. If the appliance is provided with 3- wire, grounding type cord, the extension
should be a GROUNDING TYPE 3 - WIRE CORD. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will
not drape over the counter-top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
• Your product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade
wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way.This is a safety feature. If you
are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, con-
tact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
