READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE AND SAVE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

3. Clean all parts before first use. See instructions for cleaning.

5. Always unplug from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow all parts to cool down completely before disassembling the appliance and before cleaning.
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 the appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair,r or adjustment.

11. Do not use this toaster for anything other than its intended use.
12. Oversized foods, metal foil packages, or utensils must not be inserted into the toaster, as they may pose a risk of fire or electric shock.

SHORT CORD PURPOSE

• Note: A short power cord is provided to reduce the risk of personal injury resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a long cord.
• Longer power-supply cords or extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use

If an extension cord is used:

1. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the product
2. The extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can unintentionally be pulled on or tripped over by children or pets.

POLARIZED PLUG

• If this appliance is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other), please follow the instructions below:
• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If you are unable to fit the plug into the electrical outlet, try reversing the plug

BEFORE FIRST USE

1. Carefully unpack the product and remove all packaging materials. Clean the toaster before using it for the first time. Wipe the toaster’s exterior with a clean, damp cloth. Remove and clean the crumb tray.
2. DRY ALL PARTS THOROUGHLY BEFORE OPERATING THE TOASTER. (See “CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE” section for more instructions.)
3. Do not use any abrasive detergents, soaps, or cleaning materials to clean the toaster.
4. NEVER immerse the toaster or power cord in water or any other liquid.
5. During the first few minutes of initial use, you may notice smoke and/or a slight odor. This is normal and should disappear with subsequent use.
   • NOTE:
   • The “CANCEL/EJECT” button can be used at any point of the toasting cycle to interrupt the toasting process.
   • CAUTION:
   • Do not place buttered breads, breads or items with excess sugar, or pastries with fillings or frostings, torn slices of bread or sliced breads, baguettes or breadsticks in this toaster; doing so may create a fire hazard.
   • Never leave the toaster unattended. Especially when toasting 1- 2 slices or smaller, less dense pieces of bread. They tend to toast faster than larger, more
     dense breads and may burn and forcefully eject when very hot.
   • You may need to adjust the Browning Control Knob to a lighter shade when toasting smaller, less dense pieces of bread. They tend to toast faster than larger, more dense breads and may burn and be ejected when very hot.

TIPS

• Differences in toasting times depend on the moisture level of each item being toasted.
• Extra-thick bread may require two cycles.
• When toasting items with pieces of fruit (i.e., cinnamon raisin bagels), remove any loose pieces of fruit so that they don’t fall into and get stuck inside the toaster.
