HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
North American models with polarized plugs:
POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug, (one blade is
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
countertop or tabletop 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.
