Follow basic safety precautions, including:
1 The toaster must only be used by or under the supervision of a responsible adult.
2 Don’t put the toaster in water or any other liquid, don’t use it in a
bathroom, near water, or outdoors.
3 Sit the toaster upright on a firm, level, heat-resistant surface.
4 Don’t put it on or near anything that could be damaged even by moderate heat.
5 If overcooked, bread may burn. Don’t use the toaster near or below curtains or
other combustible materials, and watch it while it’s in use.
6 The area round the toasting slots gets hot – don’t touch!
7 Route the cable so it doesn’t overhang, and can’t be caught or tripped over
accidentally.
8 The toaster must not be operated by an external timer or remote control system.
9 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.
10 Don’t let the toasting slots become covered during toasting, or while the toaster is
still hot.
11 If bread gets jammed, unplug the toaster, let it cool down fully, then carefully
remove the bread that’s jamming it. Don’t use anything sharp, such as a knife or
fork, you may damage the elements.
