CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION

This appliance is intended for household use only.

NEVER LEAVE TOASTER UNATTENDED!

This toaster is a metal body toaster and becomes hot during use. To avoid risk of burns, DO NOT TOUCH HOT SURFACES. Allow toaster to cool before touching, lifting, cleaning or storing.

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 children or accidentally tripped over.
