IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

The Elite Brand takes consumer safety very seriously. Products are designed and manufactured with our valued consumers’ safety in mind. Additionally, we ask that you exercise a level of caution when using any electrical appliance by following all instructions and important safeguards.

1. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
2. To protect against electrical shock, do not place any part of the toaster in water or other liquid.
3. Clean all parts before first use. See instructions for cleaning.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
5. Always unplug from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow all parts to cool down completely before disassembling the appliance and before cleaning.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the manufacturer may cause injury.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or countertop or touch hot surfaces.
10. Do not place the toaster on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
11. Do not use this toaster for other than its intended use.
12. Oversized foods, metal foil packages, or utensils must not be inserted into the toaster, as they may involve a risk of fire or electric shock.
13. A fire may occur if the toaster is covered or touched with flammable materials, such as curtains, draperies, or walls when in operation. Do not operate under wall cabinets.
14. Do not attempt to dislodge food when the toaster is plugged into an electrical outlet.
15. To avoid the possibility of fire, do not leave the toaster unattended during use.

17. To disconnect, turn all controls OFF before removing the plug from the electrical outlet.
18. Do not attempt to move the product while it is in operation.
19. Do not operate unattended.
20. When heating pastries, always use the lightest toast shade setting.

SHORT CORD PURPOSE
If an extension cord is used: (1) the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the product; (2) the extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can unintentionally be pulled on or tripped over by children or pets.

POLARIZED PLUG
If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never use the plug with an extension cord unless the plug can be fully inserted into the extension cord. Do not alter the plug of the product or any extension cord being used with this product. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

HOW TO USE

Ensure that the crumb tray is always in place before using the toaster. Do not force foods into the toaster, foods should easily and freely fit into the toast slots. Always be sure not to place multiple slices in one toast slot; and, that the carriage inside the toast slot is up, before placing any food items inside.

TIPS

• Differences in toasting times depend on the moisture level of each item being toasted.
• Extra thick bread may require two cycles.
• When toasting items with pieces of fruit (i.e. cinnamon raisin bagels), remove any loose pieces of fruit so that they don’t fall into and get stuck inside of the toaster.
