ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground 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: 120 Volts AC only

Frequency: 60 Hz

Wattage: 900 W (KMT2115),

1800 W (KMT4115)

NOTE: The Toaster has a 3-prong grounded 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 to 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.

GETTING STARTED

Before using the 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.

PRODUCT USAGE

PRODUCT USAGE

NOTE: Different types of bread and their moisture levels may require different shade settings. For example, dry bread will brown more rapidly than moist bread and will require a lighter setting.

NOTE: For even toasting on 2-slot models, toast only one bread type and thickness at a time. If toasting two different types or thicknesses of bread with 4-slot models with Dual Independent Controls, be sure to toast only one bread type in each pair of slots.

If toasting bagels, be sure to press the Bagel button. See "Toasting Bagels".
