SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS. THIS APPLIANCE IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.

WARNING: When using electrical appliances especially when children are present, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons, including the following:

Never operate an appliance without bread.
Do not insert any forks, knives, or similar items into the appliance.
Do not insert oversized items; foil packaging or metal implements in the toaster wells.
Do not place the item near flammable objects (e.g. curtains, wood etc.).
Do not touch the body of the toaster while in use; wait for the toaster to cool down.
To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse the power cord power plug or appliance in water or in any other liquid.
Close adult supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
Unplug the appliance from the outlet when not in use and allow the toaster to cool before cleaning.
Do not operate any electrical appliance with a damaged power cord or power plug or operate it after the appliance malfunctions, or has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Return this appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment.
The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may result in fire, electrical shock or injury to persons.
Do not use it outdoors or for commercial purposes.
Do not allow the cord to hang over edge of the table or counter, or allow it to come into contact with hot surfaces including stove.
Do not place the appliance on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven or microwave.
To disconnect, remove the plug from the wall outlet.
Place the appliance on a hard, flat-level surface to avoid interruption of airflow underneath the burner.
Be extra cautious when toasting bread products that contain fats or sugars as the bread may burn. If bread smokes, press CANCEL button or use a lower setting to stop it from burning.
Do not use the appliance for other than its intended use.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (cont’d)

WARNING: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into 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 hazards resulting from entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a longer detachable power-supply 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, and:
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.

LINE CORD SAFETY TIPS

Never pull or yank on a cord or the appliance.
To insert the plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into an outlet.
To disconnect the appliance, grasp the plug and remove it from the outlet.
Before each use, inspect the line cord for cuts and/or abrasion marks. If any are found, this indicates that the appliance should be serviced and the line cord replaced. Please return it to an authorized service representative.
Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance, as this could place undue stress on the cord where it enters the appliance and cause it to fray and break.

DO NOT OPERATE THE APPLIANCE IF THE LINE CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE OR IF THE APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY. CAUTION: To ensure continued protection against the risk of electric shock, connect to properly grounded outlets only. IMPORTANT: During the first few minutes of initial use, you may notice smoke and/or a slight odor. This is normal and should quickly disappear. It will not recur after the appliance has been used a few more times. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

HELPFUL TIPS

To change your selection user must press the cancel button and then re-select the preferred function(s).
Selected functions will automatically be canceled if the lever is not pushed down in approximately 10 seconds.
Approximately 10 seconds after the lever is pushed down, the selected functions will be automatically locked. The toast shade selector will only function when it is adjusted to a lower toast setting. This safety feature avoids over-extended toasting time per cycle.
Once a cycle is finished, the toaster will automatically return to the default setting which is for general bread toasting conditions, and the user should select the desired function(s) again for the next use.
The high-lift facility lever makes it easier to remove the toast. When the toasting is complete, press the lever upwards and safely take out the bread.
