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 fully into the outlet, 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.
