Other Consumer Safety Information

WARNING: Electrical Shock Hazard: This product is provided with a polarized plug (one wide blade) to reduce the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet. The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the appliance. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over. To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another high-wattage appliance on the same circuit as this appliance.

If you must use a Toaster, ALWAYS set it to the lowest shade setting; NEVER heat cracked, broken, or warped pastries; and NEVER leave it unattended. ® Pop-Tarts is a registered trademark of the Kellogg Co.

Care and Cleaning

NOTE: If the Toaster is used daily, the Slide-Out Crumb Tray should be cleaned daily.

1. Unplug the Toaster and let it cool.
2. Slide out the Crumb Tray, discard crumbs, and wipe the Tray with a clean cloth. Replace Slide-Out Crumb Tray.
3. Wipe the outside of the Toaster with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleansers that may scratch the surface of the Toaster.

Troubleshooting

• To remove food that becomes lodged in Extra-Wide Slots, disconnect the Toaster from the outlet and allow it to cool. Use a nonmetal utensil to loosen food from grill wires, allowing it to fall into the Slide-Out Crumb Tray. Empty the Slide-Out Crumb Tray daily.
• Toasting is affected by the temperature of the bread. Room-temperature bread may toast to a medium color on a medium setting. The same type of bread that has been refrigerated may require a darker setting to reach a medium color.
• While toasting, heating elements do not have to glow red to be working properly; food will still be toasting.
