of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
An extension cord may be used if the rating is equal to or
greater than the rating of theToaster.Use an extension cord

extension cord so that it will not drape over countertop or
tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped
over unintentionally.
Operating theToaster and another appliance at the
same time from the same electrical circuit could cause an
electrical overload condition, which would blow the fuse
or trip the circuit breaker.

because frosting and fillings can ignite. If frosting or filling
does drip intoToaster well,follow instructions in
“Cleaning” before using theToaster again to prevent risk
of fire.

observed.
