Technical Information
Polarized Plug
This appliance has a polarized plug
(one blade is wider than the other).
To reduce the risk of electric shock, the
plug will it in a polarized outlet only
one way. If the plug does not fully it the
outlet, reverse the plug and reinsert.
If it still does not it, contact a qualiied
electrician. DO NOT modify the plug in
any way.
Notes on the Power Cord
A short power-supply cord
(or detached power-supply cord) is
provided to reduce risks resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over
a long cord.
Longer detachable power-supply
cords or extension cords are available
and may be used if care is exercised in
their use.
If a long detachable power-supply cord
or extension cord is used:
• The marked electrical rating of the
detachable power-supply cord or
extension cord should be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the
appliance.
• If the appliance is of the grounded
type, the extension cord should be
a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
• The longer cord should be
arranged so that it will not drape
over the counter top or table
top where it can be pulled on by
children or tripped over.
Electric Power
If the electric circuit is overloaded with
other appliances, your appliance may
not operate. It should be operated on
a separate electrical circuit from other
appliances. If you are not sure the
reason of overloading or cannot ind
a separate circuit, contact a qualiied
electrician.
Volts: 120 Volts AC only.
Hertz: 60 Hz

the heating elements to reach the
correct toasting temperature. Please
note that further batches of toast
could take less time.

used will impact toasting times.
Fresher bread will take longer to
toast. Adjust the browning level and
toasting time accordingly.

• Toast only one type of bread at
a time.
• Toast bread slices of the
same thickness.
• Use bread slices no thicker than
1” (2.5 cm).
• If using hand-cut bread, try to cut
slices as evenly as possible.
• Be aware that very thin or broken
slices of bread could burn.
