INSTRUCTIONS
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
This Philips Toaster has a short cord to reduce the hazards
of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
An extension cord may be used if the rating is equal to or
greater than the rating of the Toaster.Use an extension cord
rated 13 amperes or greater.Care must be taken to arrange
extension cord so that it will not drape over countertop or
tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped
over unintentionally.
Operating the Toaster and another appliance at the
same time from the same electrical circuit could cause an
electrical overload condition, which would blow the fuse
or trip the circuit breaker.
WARNING:
• Always use the Light or Low setting for pastry items
because frosting and fillings can ignite. If frosting or filling
does drip into Toaster well,follow instructions in
“Cleaning” before using the Toaster again to prevent risk
of fire.
• Immediately unplug Toaster if fire or smoke is
observed.
• Please read and save this Instructions For Use booklet.
SPECIAL POLARIZED
PLUG
INSTRUCTIONS
This Philips Toaster has a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other.)
To reduce the risk of electric shock:
• Plug will fit into polarized outlet only one way.
• If plug does not properly fit outlet at first,reverse it.
• If plug still does not fit,contact a qualified electrician.
