SAFETY AND USE INSTRUCTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including:

WARNING

• 1. Read all instructions.
• 2. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are closely supervised and instructed concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
• 3. Children must be supervised to ensure that they DO NOT play with the appliance.

	4. DO NOT touch hot surfaces. Toaster gets hot during and after operation. To prevent burns or personal injury, ALWAYS use protective hot pads or insulated oven mitts and use available levers. Keep all body parts out of and away from the appliance during and after operation.
	5. Prevent food contact with Heating Elements. Excessive amounts of food, oversized foods, metal utensils, foil, or metal foil packages must not be inserted in the appliance as they may create a fire, risk of electric shock, or injury.

• 6. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plug, or any part of the Toaster in water or other liquids.
• 7. Allow to cool before removing or installing the Crumb Tray, and before cleaning the appliance.
• 8. Failure to clean Crumb Tray may result in a fire hazard.
• 9. Unplug the appliance from outlet when not in use to prevent accidents (such as fire, electrical leakage, failure, etc.) and before cleaning.

10. Before unplugging the appliance, make sure the Toaster Lever is in the “up” position. Never pull on the Cord to disconnect the Toaster from the electrical outlet; instead, grasp the Plug and pull on the plug to disconnect the Toaster.

• 11. If the appliance, Cord, or Plug has been damaged in any manner, immediately discontinue use of the appliance. For any questions, call the Solution Center at (888) 687-2433 (United States) or (800) 342-2433 (Canada).
• 12. DO NOT place any of the following materials in the Toaster: paper, cardboard, plastic, toasting bags, metal objects (i.e. fork), etc.
• 13. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or counter or touch hot surfaces.
• 14. Do not place on or near heat sources, a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
• 15. Do not use the appliance for anything other than its intended use.
• 16. Do not use outdoors.

	17. Toasters must not be used near or below combustible materials including, but not limited, to curtains, draperies, and the like, when in operation as it may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.
	18. When in use, DO NOT place the appliance against a wall, cabinet, or against other appliances. Leave at least 6" (15 cm) of free space on the back, top, and sides of the appliance. A fire may occur if the appliance is covered or touching flammable material, including curtains, draperies, walls, and the like, when in operation. Do not store any item on top of the appliance when in operation.

• 19. A fire may occur if Toaster is operated in an enclosed space, such as an appliance cabinet, caddy, garage, or other storage area.
• 20. Should the appliance emit heavy smoke, press Cancel and unplug immediately. Wait until it stops smoking before removing food. Then clean thoroughly.
• 21. Do not cover the vents (see parts diagram) while unit is operating. Doing so will prevent even cooking and may damage the unit or cause it to overheat.
• 22. Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad and touch electrical parts, creating a risk of electric shock.
• 23. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by Pampered Chef may cause injuries.

24. DO NOT put foreign objects into gaps and crevices of the appliance. DO NOT insert utensils or other foreign matter into gaps or crevices. This may cause electric shock or other dangerous accidents.

• 25. Never attempt to remove food jammed in the slots without unplugging the appliance from the electrical outlet first. Be sure not to damage the internal mechanism or Heating Elements when removing food.
• 26. DO NOT operate the appliance on an unstable or wet surface. Always operate the appliance on a dry, stable, non-combustible, level surface.
• 27. Be sure to take the food out carefully after toasting to avoid injuries.
• 28. Do not operate unattended.

29. Never use the Toaster on its side. Always use it in upright position.

• 30. DO NOT move the unit while in operation. Make sure the unit is unplugged and cooled to room temperature before moving.

31. Avoid toasting foods with frostings or fillings that may run or that are made with open fillings. Frosting and fillings can catch fire.

• 32. Do not toast pastries, tarts, and the like at any setting other than the lowest or lightest setting and never toast twice, as these items can ignite if overheated and cause fire.
• 33. Do not use with rice cakes, fried foods, frozen prepared foods, or non-bread items.

SAFEGUARDS

1. This appliance is for household use only; it is not intended for commercial use. 2. Clean frequently. Refer to the Cleaning section for proper maintenance. 3. DO NOT use Toaster as a source of non-cooking heat or for drying. 4. Be sure the outlet is designated for just this appliance and has nothing else plugged into it. Make sure not to use another appliance that is on the same circuit as that outlet at the same time as the Toaster. 5. Never toast food with extremely runny or loose ingredients such as butter, liquid, sugar, cheese, etc. See illustration 1. 6. Never connect this unit to an external timer switch, smart plug, or separate remote-control system. 7. The appliance should be placed so that any steam does not vent directly onto the kitchen cabinets. Steam may damage cabinets or shelves. 8. DO NOT store the unit in direct sunlight. 9. DO NOT use bread greater than 1" (2.5 cm) in thickness and 9" (23 cm) in length in Toaster Slots. Toast larger breads and buns on the Warming Rack. 10. Do not use the Warming Rack for anything other than larger breads and buns. See illustration 2. 11. DO NOT operate the appliance adjacent to or inside sinks and other sources of water. 12. Position the appliance away from any overhangs, walls, and table or countertop edges. 13. DO NOT insert or remove the plug with wet hands. To avoid injuries due to electric shock, make sure your hands are dry before plugging and unplugging the unit. 14. DO NOT use an adaptor, extension cord, or inverter with this appliance. 15. If you want to stop the Toaster and Cancel button does not work, unplug the unit.

ELECTRICAL HAZARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed including the following:

1. This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.

• 2. Use only with a 120V 60Hz power outlet with a minimum power rating of 15A. Failure to follow can result in electrical shock, fire, or other serious injury.
• 3. Make sure that your outlet voltage corresponds to the voltage stated on the rating label of the Toaster.
• 4. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a long cord.
• 5. If the plug fits loosely into the outlet, or if the outlet or plug feels warm, DO NOT use that outlet.
