Operating and Safety Instructions

FOR INDOOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

When using this or any other electrical appliance, always follow these basic safety precautions, especially when children are present.

READ ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious personal injury and property damage, please note the following:

- Before each use, inspect the toaster for any visible damage. If any parts are broken or damaged, do not use the toaster and refer to the warranty policy on page 8 for guidance.

- Ensure the toaster is plugged into a properly grounded electrical outlet with the correct voltage.

- Place the toaster on a flat, dry, and heat-resistant surface during use.

• Use the toaster in a well-ventilated area to prevent overheating.

- Always supervise children and pets when the toaster is in use and keep them away from the appliance.

- Do not operate the toaster with wet hands to prevent the risk of electric shock.

- Upon initial use, a smoky smell may occur as protective coatings or films on the toaster's parts burn off. This process is normal and ensures proper appliance function and safety.

- Do not overload the toaster with more bread slices than it can handle, as this can cause malfunction or overheating.

- Avoid placing the toaster near flammable materials like paper towels, napkins, or dishcloths.

- Do not leave the toaster unattended while it is operating.

- The toaster is designed for toasting bread and similar items. Do not use it for other purposes.

- Do not insert utensils or other foreign objects into the toaster to avoid electrical shock or damage.

- Do not force the toaster's lever or try to eject the toast manually.

- The exterior of the toaster may become hot during use. Do not touch any hot surfaces to avoid burns.

• After use, allow the toaster to cool down before cleaning or storing it.

- Regularly check the crumb tray and toaster slots for breadcrumbs or debris. Clean them regularly to prevent fire hazards.

- Always unplug the toaster when not in use to avoid overheating or electrical hazards.

- Always unplug the toaster before cleaning. Use a dry cloth or a damp cloth with mild detergent. Do not submerge the toaster in water.

- Do not immerse the toaster in water or any other liquid. Ensure the toaster is dry before use.

- When not in use, store the toaster in a safe, dry location, away from moisture and direct sunlight.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS: A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Using an extension cord with the toaster is not recommended. However, if one must be used:

- The marked electrical rating of the extension cord must be at least as great as that of the toaster.

- Arrange the extension cord so that it does not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be tripped over or pulled.

WARNING: The toaster is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug as a safety feature. The plug will fit into an outlet in only one orientation. Never use the plug with an extension cord unless you can fully insert the plug into the extension cord and the extension cord must be a 3-wire grounding-type cord. Do not attempt to bypass the safety purpose of the plug.
