This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug. This type of plug has
one blade wider than the other. The plug will fit into an electrical outlet
only one way. This is a safety feature intended to help reduce the risk of
electrical shock. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, try
reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact a qualified
electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the
safety purpose of the polarized plug by modifying 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 table-
top where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.

temperature or frozen; the moisture content, fresh or several
days old; and the size, thick or thin.
• To remove food that becomes lodged in food slots,
disconnect from outlet and allow toaster to cool. Turn
toaster upside down and shake. Do not use fork or other
utensil that could damage heating element or result in risk of
fire or electrical shock.
