Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

Tuck the power cord into the channel of the Cord Guide on the bottom of the Toaster so that it exits from the rear of the Toaster beneath the Crumb Tray. Plug into an earthed outlet.
