SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade wider
than the other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk of
electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt
to defeat this safety feature or modify the plug in any way. If the plug fits
loosely into the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm do not use that
outlet.
POWER CORD INSTRUCTIONS:
A short power-supply cord or detachable power-supply cord is provided to
reduce risks 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 long detachable power-
supply cord or extension cord is used:
a. The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at
least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance;
b. The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter
top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over
unintentionally; and
c. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the cord set or extension cord
should be a grounding type 3-wire cord.
Do not pull, twist or otherwise abuse the power cord.
NOTICES:
1. Some countertop and table surfaces are not designed to withstand the
prolonged heat generated by certain appliances. Do not set the heated
unit on a finished wood table. We recommend placing a hot pad or trivet
under your toaster to prevent possible damage to the surface.
2. During initial use of this appliance, some slight smoke and/or odor may be
detected. This is normal with many heating appliances and will not recur
after a few uses.
