2. Toaster Use and Care Guide
C A U T I O N : This appliance is hot during operation and retains heat for
some time after turning off. Always use oven mitts when handling hot
materials and allow metal parts to cool before cleaning. Do not place
anything on top of the Toaster while it is operating or while it is hot.

DO NOT place buttered bread or wrapped food into the Toaster.
DO NOT toast small-size breads, mini-baguettes, breadsticks, etc.
Polarized Plug
This appliance has a polarized plug, (one blade is wider than the
other). This plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way.
If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify
the plug in any way.
Short Cord Instructions
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting
from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in
their use.
If an extension cord is used, (1) the marked electrical rating of the
extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of
the appliance, and (2) the cord should be arranged so that it will not
drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by
children or tripped over unintentionally.
Electric Power
If the electric circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your toaster
may not operate properly. It should be operated on a separate
electrical circuit from other appliances.
