Placement and Ventilation

Use the BELLA PRO toaster on a hard, flat, stable surface.

Adequate open space should be provided above and around the toaster for air circulation. Bella-PRO-4-Slice-Toaster-User-…

• Avoid placing anything on top of the toaster during operation or while it remains hot. Bella-PRO-4-Slice-Toaster-User-…

Polarized Plug

The toaster has a polarized plug with one blade wider than the other.

If the plug does not fit completely into the outlet:

1. Reverse it.
2. Try again.
3. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.

The plug should not be modified. Bella-PRO-4-Slice-Toaster-User-…

Power Cord and Extension Cord Instructions

The appliance uses a short power cord to reduce the risk of entanglement and tripping.

If a longer cord or extension cord is used:

• Its electrical rating should be at least equal to the appliance’s rating.
• A grounded appliance requires a three-wire grounding extension cord.
• Arrange the cord so it does not hang where it could be pulled or create a tripping hazard. Bella-PRO-4-Slice-Toaster-User-…

Countertop Protection

The manual recommends placing a non-plastic coaster or placemat between the toaster and finished countertops, tables or furniture.

This can help reduce the chance of:

• Surface darkening
• Permanent blemishes
• Staining caused by plasticizer migration Bella-PRO-4-Slice-Toaster-User-…

Electrical Circuit Requirements

The toaster should preferably be operated on a separate electrical circuit.

If the circuit is overloaded by other appliances, the toaster may not operate correctly. Bella-PRO-4-Slice-Toaster-User-…

Before Using the BELLA PRO Toaster for the First Time

Manufacturing residue or oil may remain on the toaster or its heating elements when it is new.

1. Remove protective packaging.
2. Place the toaster on an appropriate hard, flat countertop.
3. Plug it into the power supply.
