SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
No user-serviceable parts inside. Do not attempt to service this product.
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from
entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may be
used with care; however, the marked electrical rating should be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the toaster. The extension cord should not
be allowed to drape over the counter or tabletop where it can be pulled on
by children or tripped over unintentionally.
