IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
The Elite Brand takes consumer safety very seriously. Products are designed and
manufactured with our valued consumers’ safety in mind. Additionally, we ask that
you exercise a level of caution when using any electrical appliance by following all
instructions and important safeguards.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE AND SAVE FOR FUTURE
REFERENCE
WARNING: When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should
always be followed as below:
13. A re may occur if the toaster is
covered or touched with ammable
materials, such as curtains, draperies
or walls when in operation. Do not
operate under wall cabinets.
14. Do not attempt to dislodge food
when the toaster is plugged into
electrical outlet.
15. To avoid possibility of re, do not
leave toaster unattended during
use.
16. Do not place paper, cardboard,
plastic and the like in the toaster.
17. Always attach plug to appliance
rst, then plug cord into the wall
outlet. To disconnect, turn all
controls OFF before removing the
plug from the electrical outlet.
18. Do not attempt to move the
product while it is in operation.
19. Some countertop and table
surfaces, such as Corian®, wood
and/or laminates, are not designed
to withstand prolonged heat
generated by certain appliances.
It is recommended by countertop
manufacturers that a hot pad or
trivet be placed under your
appliance to prevent possible
damage to the surface.
20. Never leave the toaster unattended.
Especially when toasting 1-2-slices
or smaller, less dense pieces of
bread. They tend to toast faster than
larger, more dense breads and may
burn and forcefully eject when very
hot.
1. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use
handles or knobs.
2. To protect against electrical shock,
do not place any part of the toaster
in water or other liquid.
3. Clean all parts before rst use. See
instructions for cleaning.
4. Close supervision is necessary when
any appliance is used by or near
children.
5. Always unplug from outlet when
not in use and before cleaning.
Allow all parts to cool down
completely before disassembling
the appliance and before cleaning.
6. Do not operate any appliance with
a damaged cord or plug or after the
appliance malfunctions or has been
damaged in any manner. Return the
appliance to the nearest authorized
service facility for examination,
repair or adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments
not recommended by the
manufacturer may cause injury.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over the edge
of the table or countertop or touch
hot surfaces.
10. Do not place toaster on or near a
hot gas or electric burner or in a
heated oven.
11. Do not use this toaster for other
than its intended use.
12. Oversize foods, metal foil packages
or utensils must not be inserted into
the toaster, as they may involve a
risk of re or electric shock.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
THIS PRODUCT IS FOR
HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
SHORT CORD PURPOSE
POLARIZED PLUG
If the plug still does not t, contact a
qualied electrician. Never use the plug
with an extension cord unless the plug
can be fully inserted into the extension
cord. Do not alter the plug of the
product or any extension cord being
used with this product. Do not attempt
to defeat the safety purpose of the
polarized plug.
If this appliance is equipped with a
polarized plug (one blade is wider than
the other), please follow the below
instructions:
To reduce the risk of electrical shock,
this plug is intended to t into a
polarized outlet only one way. If you
are unable to t the plug into the
electrical outlet, try reversing the plug.
If an extension cord is used: (1) the
marked electrical rating of the extension
cord should be at least as great as the
electrical rating of the product; (2) the
extension cord should be arranged so
that it will not drape over the counter
top or tabletop where it can
unintentionally be pulled on or tripped
over by children or pets.
Note: A short power cord is provided
to reduce the risk of personal injury
resulting from becoming entangled in or
tripping over a long cord.
Longer power-supply cords or
extension cords may be used if care
is exercised in their use.
