ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
WARNING
- Electrical Shock Hazard
- Plug into an earthed outlet.
- Do not remove earth prong.
- Do not use an adapter.
- Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
- Voltage: 220–240 V~

NOTE: Your Toaster has an earthed plug. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug will fit in an outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit in the outlet, contact a qualified electrician.
Do not modify the plug in any way.
Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a
qualified electrician or service technician install an outlet near 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.
PRODUCT USAGE
BEFORE FIRST USE
Before using your Toaster, check the Extra-Wide Slots and remove any packing or printed material that might have fallen inside during shipping or handling. Do not probe inside the Toaster with a metal object. You may see light smoke the first time you use the Toaster. This is normal. The smoke is harmless and will soon disappear.
