important safeguards
Follow basic safety precautions, including:
1The toaster must only be used by or under the supervision of a responsible adult. Use and store it out of reach of children.
2Don’t put the toaster in liquid, don’t use it in a bathroom, near water, or outdoors.
3Sit the toaster upright, on a stable, level,
4Don’t put it on or near anything that could be damaged even by moderate heat.
5Bread may burn. Don’t use the toaster near or below curtains or other combustible materials, and watch it while it’s hot.
6The area round the toasting slots gets very hot – don’t touch!
7Route the cable so it doesn’t overhang and can’t be caught.
8If you’re only using one slot, don’t let anything get into the empty slot, as both slots will be “live” when the lever is lowered.
9Don’t cover the toaster, or put anything on top of it – you’ll cause a fire hazard.
10If bread gets jammed, unplug the toaster, let it cool, then carefully remove the bread. Don’t use anything sharp, you’ll damage the elements.
11Don’t toast sandwiches or buttered items, the filling or spread may burn.
12Don’t use torn, curled up, oversized, or misshapen slices of bread, as these may jam the toaster.
13Unplug the toaster when not in use, before moving and before cleaning. Let it cool down fully before cleaning and storing away.
14Clean the crumbs out of your toaster frequently, to avoid a build up of crumbs. This is unhygienic, and could cause a fire hazard.
15Don’t use the toaster unless the crumb tray is fitted and closed.
16Don’t connect the toaster to an external timer or remote control system.
17Keep the toaster and cable away from sources of heat.
18Don’t use the toaster for any purpose other than those described in these instructions.
