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 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:

! DANGER

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

WARNING

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:

I. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
3. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or toaster in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
5. Unplug toaster from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest Authorized Service Facility for examination, repair or adjustment.

1. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.

2. Do not use outdoors.

3. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.

4. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.

II. To disconnect, turn any control to "OFF," then remove plug from outlet.

1. Do not use toaster for other than intended use.

2. Oversize foods, metal foil packages, or utensils must not be inserted in toaster as they may involve a risk of fire or electric shock.

3. A fire may occur if toaster is covered with or touching flammable material, including curtains, draperies, walls and the like, when in operation.

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.

Volts: 120 Volts AC only.

Hertz: 60 Hz

NOTE: Your 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 serviceman install an outlet near the appliance.

A short power supply cord (or detachable power supply cord) should be used to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in 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 cord or 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.
• 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.

If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.

Using Your Toaster

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.

Making Toast

I. Shorten cord, if necessary, by wrapping cord under the base. The toaster's feet are tall enough to allow the cord to exit from under any side of the toaster.

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.

1. Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
2. Turn the Shade Control Knob to select the degree of brownness you want. Turn the Shade Control Knob to the right for darker toast or to the left for lighter.

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.
