OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION

To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage appliance on the same circuit.

WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into 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, con- tact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

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 toaster. 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 chil- dren or accidentally tripped over.
