7 Keep the appliance and its cord out of reach of children. Do not allow the appliance to be used by children. Close supervision is necessary when used near children.

8 DO NOT use an extension cord. A short power-supply cord is used to reduce the risk of children grabbing the cord or becoming entangled and to reduce the risk of people tripping over a longer cord.

9 DO NOT let cord hang over edges of tables or counters or touch hot surfaces, including stoves and other heating ovens.

10 DO NOT place on hot stove top or in hot oven. NEVER use outlet below counter.

11 NEVER leave the unit unattended while in use.

13 To protect against electrical shock DO NOT immerse cord, plugs, or main unit housing in water or other liquid.

14 DO NOT use the unit with damage to the power cord or plug. Regularly inspect the unit and power cord. If the unit malfunctions or has been damaged in any way, immediately stop use and call Customer Service.

15 Prevent food contact with heating elements. Excessive or over sized food loads, metal foil packages, or utensils must. NOT be inserted as they may cause risk of fire or electric shock.

16 Extreme caution must be used when the unit contains hot food. Improper use may result in personal injury.

17 ALWAYS use the lightest toast setting when heating toaster pastries.

18 DO NOT cover the air intake vents or air outlet vents while unit is operating. Doing so will prevent even cooking and may damage the unit or cause it to overheat.

TIPS FOR CHOOSING YOUR SHADE SELECTION

• With multiple slices, place next to each other. Make sure there is no overlap of the slices so they can toast consistently. If bread slices do not fit next to each other, try rotating them sideways for a better fit.
• For drier or stale breads, adjust the shade lower than your standard setting.
• For freshly baked or whole wheat breads, adjust the shade higher than your standard setting.
• For bread with an un smooth surface (like English muffins), adjust the shade higher than your standard setting. Be sure to slice bread evenly for consistent toasting.
• For thick-cut pieces, adjust the shade higher than your standard setting. Be sure to slice bread evenly for consistent toasting.
• Split bagels in half before toasting. Place the cut side facing you, with the control panel on the right side.
• For frozen waffles, frozen French toast, or frozen bagels, use the appropriate function and toggle on Defrost.
• Do not place buttered bread in the unit. Butter after toasting.
• Be aware that very thin slices may burn. Use the lowest shade selection and monitor while toasting.
