BREVILLE RECOMMENDS SAFETY FIRST

At Breville we are very safety conscious. We design and manufacture consumer products with the safety of you, our valued customer, foremost in mind. In addition we ask that you exercise a degree of care when using any electrical appliance and adhere to the following precautions.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE AND SAVE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

Carefully read all instructions before operating for the first time and save for future reference.
Remove and safely discard any packaging materials and promotional labels before using the toaster for the first time.
To eliminate a choking hazard for young children, remove and safely discard the protective cover fitted to the power plug of this appliance.
Do not place the toaster near the edge of a bench or table during operation. Ensure the surface is level, clean and free of water.
Always operate the toaster on a stable, heat resistant surface. Do not use on a cloth-covered surface, near curtains or other flammable materials.
A fire may occur if the toaster is covered or touching flammable materials, including curtains, draperies, walls and the like, when in operation.
Curtains and other flammable items can catch fire if they are near or above the toaster.
Do not allow hot surfaces of the toaster to come in contact with countertops or tables.
Do not place the toaster on or near a hot gas or electric bumer, or where it could touch any other source of heat. -When operating the toaster, keep a minimum distance of 4″ (10cm) of space from the surrounding sides and 8″ (20cm) above.
Breville does not recommend placing the toaster in enclosed areas.
Do not use the toaster on a sink drain board.
Do not move toaster while in operation.
Avoid contact with moving parts.
Ensure that bread to be toasted is the correct size for the toaster and does not protrude above the toasting slots. Ensure the bread is not too thick or long that it will jam or wedge the bread carriage.
Do not place toast directly on top of toasting slots to warm toast as this may prevent correct air circulation and damage the appliance.
Do not touch hot surfaces. Toaster surfaces are hot during and after operation. To prevent bums or personal injury, always use protective hot pads or insulated oven mitts, or use handles or knobs where available.
Metal utensils such as a knife, should not be inserted into the toaster to remove jammed toast, bagels or any other items from the toaster. This can damage the heating
elements as well as lead to electrocution
Do not attempt to dislodge food when the toaster is plugged in.
Oversized foods, metal foil packages, or utensils must not be inserted into the toaster as they may cause a fire or risk of electric shock
Do not use the toaster without the slide out crumb tray in place. Do not allow crumbs to build up in the crumb tray. Failure to clean the crumb tray regularly may result in a fire hazard.
To turn the toaster off, remove the power plug from the power outlet.
Always remove the power plug from the power outlet if the toaster is not in use, before attempting to move, before cleaning, and when storing. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts.
Do not use harsh abrasive, caustic cleaners or oven
cleaners when cleaning the toaster.
Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off and touch electrical parts, creating a shock hazard.
Strictly follow the care and cleaning instructions described in this book.
The use of attachments not sold or recommended by Breville may cause fire, electric shock or injury.

BREVILLE ASSIST™ PLUG

Your Breville appliance comes with a unique Assist™ Plug, conveniently designed with a finger hole in the power plug for easy and safe removal from the wall outlet. For safety reasons it is recommended you plug your Breville appliance directly into its own electrical outlet on a dedicated circuit separate from other appliances. If the electric circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your appliance may not function properly. Use in conjunction with a power strip or extension cord is not recommended.
SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
Your Breville appliance is fitted with a short power supply cord as a safety precaution to prevent personal injury or property damage resulting from pulling, tripping or becoming entangled with a longer cord. Do not allow children to use or be near this appliance without close adult supervision. Longer detachable power supply cords or extension cords are not recommended but may be used if care is exercised. If an extension cord is used,

the marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance,
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 and
the extension cord must include a 3-prong grounding plug.
