important safeguards
Follow basic safety precautions, including:
1 This appliance must only be used by or under the supervision of a responsible
adult.
2 Don’t put your toaster in liquid, don’t use it in a bathroom or near water
contained in a bath-tub, basin or any other vessel, and don’t use it
outdoors.
3 Position the toaster upright, on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface, near a power
socket, and out of reach of children.
4 Don’t use it near or below curtains or other combustible materials and watch it
while it’s hot, as bread can catch fire if overcooked.
5 The area round the toasting slots gets very hot – don’t touch!
6 Route the cable so it doesn’t overhang and can’t be caught accidentally.
7 When using a single toasting slot, don’t let anything get into the other slot, as both
slots will be “live” when the bread carriage handle is lowered.
8 Don’t let the toasting slots become covered during toasting, or while hot.
9 If bread gets jammed, unplug the toaster, let it cool, and carefully remove the
bread. Don’t use anything sharp, you’ll damage the elements.
10 Don’t try to force oversized bread into a toasting slot, it may jam and create a fire
hazard. If the bread is too big to fit easily in the slot, trim it to size before toasting.
11 Don’t toast “buttered” items, they may catch fire.
12 Don’t use torn, curled, or misshapen bread, you may jam the toaster.
13 Unplug the appliance when not in use, before moving and before cleaning. Let it
cool down fully before cleaning and storing away.
14 Clean the crumbs out of your toaster frequently, to avoid a build up of crumbs. This
is unhygienic and could cause a fire hazard.
15 Don’t use the toaster unless the crumb tray is fitted and closed.
16 This appliance must not be operated by an external timer or remote control system.
17 Keep the appliance and the cable away from hotplates, hobs or burners.
