We design and manufacture consumer products with the safety of you, our valued customer, foremost in mind. In addition, we ask that you exercise a degree of care when using any electrical appliance and adhere to the following precautions: Important safeguards for all electrical appliances · Unwind the cord fully before use. · Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or counter, touch hot surfaces or become knotted. [. . . ] · Bread may burn, therefore this toaster must not be used near or below curtains or other combustible material and it must be supervised at all times when in use. · Ensure that bread to be toasted is the correct size for the toaster and does not protrude above the bread slice opening. Ensure the bread is not too thick or long that it will jam or wedge in the toasting slots. · Never cover the appliance whilst it is plugged into the power outlet or while hot. · Do not place cold toast on top of toasting slots to warm toast as this may prevent correct air circulation and damage the appliance. · Do not use on metal surfaces, for example, a sink drain board. · To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cord, plug or toaster in water or any other liquid. · Always turn the power off at the power outlet and then remove the plug from the power outlet before attempting to move the appliance, when the appliance is not in use and before cleaning or storing. · Do not attempt to extract toast, crumpets or any other item from the toasting slots with a knife or any other object as contact with live elements may damage the elements and cause electrocution and/or fire. · Do not allow breadcrumbs to accumulate in the bottom of the toaster. Follow the cleaning instructions provided in this book. Note NEVER OPERATE TOASTER ON ITS SIDE. NEVER ADD ANY FOOD SUBSTANCE OR SPREADS TO THE BREAD, ENGLISH MUFFINS OR CRUMPETS PRIOR TO TOASTING AS THIS CAN LEAD TO ELECTROCUTION OR FIRE.

When using the toaster for the first time, it is suggested to use the medium browning setting. Varying types of bread and personal preference may require a different browning setting, for example, raisin toast and white light-textured breads may require a lighter setting, whilst heavier textured rye breads may require a darker setting.
