When using electric 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 electrical 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 electric shock.
9. Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off pad and touch electrical parts
resulting in risk of electrical 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.
Shock Hazard

The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
