Important safety
instructions
The use of any electrical appliance
requires the following common sense safety
rules.
Primarily there is danger of injury or
death and secondly the danger of damage
to the appliance. These are indicated in the
text by the following two conventions:
WARNING: Danger to the person!
IMPORTANT: Damage to the appliance!
In addition we offer the following safety
advice.
Location
• Always locate your toaster away from
the edge of the worktop.
• Ensure that the toaster is used on a firm,
flat, heat resistant surface.
• Ensure that sufficient space is left above
and around all sides of your toaster to
allow air to circulate.
• IMPORTANT: Do not use too close to
curtains, draperies, walls, cupboards
and other flammable materials.
• WARNING: Do not use underneath
cupboards.
• Do not use outdoors.
Mains lead
• The mains lead should reach from the
socket to the toaster without straining
the connections. Reduce the length of
the excess lead by using the cord
storage facility.
• Do not let the mains lead hang over the
edge of the worktop where a child could
reach it.
• Do not let the lead run across an open
space e.g. between a low socket and
table.
• Do not let the lead run across a cooker
or hot area which might damage the
cable.
Personal safety
• Do watch your toaster during use.

during or after use, use handles or

utensils into the toaster.
• WARNING: Do not attempt to
dislodge food when the toaster is
plugged in and never insert cooking
utensils into the slots.

other items on top of the slots as this
may damage the toaster and creates a
fire hazard.
Children
• Never allow a child to operate this
appliance.
• Children are vulnerable in the kitchen
particularly when unsupervised and if
appliances are being used or cooking is
being carried out.

the kitchen, warn them of the dangers of
reaching up to areas where they cannot
see properly or should not be reaching.
