IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety
precautions should always be followed, including the
following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not operate toaster while unattended.
3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance
is used by or near children.
4. Do not attempt to dislodge food when toaster is
plugged in.
5. To protect against electric shock, do not immerse
cord, plug, or toaster in water or other liquid.
6. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before
cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking
off parts, or moving toaster.
7. Do not operate toaster with a damaged cord or
plug or after toaster malfunctions or has been
damaged in any manner. Call our toll-free customer
service number for information on examination,
repair, or adjustment.
8. Oversized foods, metal foil packages, or utensils
must not be inserted in a toaster as they may involve
a risk of fire or electrical shock.
9. Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can
break off pad and touch electrical parts, resulting
in risk of electric shock.
10. A fire may occur if toaster is covered or touching
flammable material, including curtains, draperies,
walls, overhead cabinets, paper or plastic products,
cloth towels, and the like, when in operation.
11. Do not operate toaster in an enclosed space,
such as an appliance cabinet, caddy, garage, or
other storage area.
12. Do not cook, warm, or toast rice cakes, fried foods,
non-bread items, or toaster pastries. Toaster pastries
should be heated in a toaster oven broiler. Do not
heat any food product that has been spread or iced
with margarine, butter, jelly, frosting, syrup, or other
spread. Follow toasting chart.
13. Failure to clean crumb tray may result in a fire hazard.
14. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner,
or in a heated oven.
15. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
16. The use of accessory attachments not recommended
by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
17. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter,
or touch hot surfaces, including the stove.

Other consumer safety information
This appliance is intended for household use only.
WARNING!
Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized
plug (one wide blade) that reduces the risk of electric
shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying
the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug
does not fit, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have
an electrician replace the outlet.
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 appliance. 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.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another
high-wattage appliance on the same circuit with this
appliance.
