TOASTER SAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or “WARNING.” These words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t immediately follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow instructions.

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.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

Read all instructions.
Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or Toaster in water or other liquid.
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts.
WARNING – To prevent electric shock, unplug before servicing.
Do not operate the Toaster with a damaged cord or plug, or after the Toaster malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return the Toaster to the nearest Authorized Service Center for examination, repair, or adjustment.
Do not use outdoors.
To disconnect, turn any control to “OFF”, then remove plug from wall outlet.
The use of accessories not recommended or sold by KitchenAid may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.
Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
Do not use Toaster for other than intended use.
Oversized foods, metal foil packages, or utensils must not be inserted in the Toaster as they may involve a risk of fire or electric shock.
A fire may occur if the Toaster is covered with or touching flammable material, including curtains, draperies, walls and the like when in operation.
Do not attempt to dislodge food when the Toaster is plugged in.
Do not operate Toaster unattended.
When heating toaster pastries, always use the lightest toast color setting.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
