• Desenchufe la tostadora del tomacorrientes cuando no se encuentre en servicio y antes

de limpiarla.

• No toque las superficies calientes. Las piezas de metal pueden volverse calientes. Utilice las asideras

o las perillas.

• Para evitar los peligros eléctricos, no sumerja el cordón, el enchufe ni la tostadora en sí en agua

o cualquier otro líquido.

• No permita que el cordón cuelgue sobre el borde de la mesa o del mostrador, ni que entre

en contacto con las superficies calientes.

• Jamás permita que los enseres queden desatendidos durante el uso.

• Los niños y las personas incapacitadas no deben hacer uso de estos enseres.

Supervise cuidadosamente a los niños de mayor edad.

• No opere ni coloque la tostadora:

– Sobre superficies que no sean termorresistentes ni inflamables.

– Cerca de las llamas de una estufa de gas o elemento eléctrico.

– Dentro de un horno calentado o microondas.

• Para reducir el riesgo de los incendios o los choques eléctricos, no inserte:

– Utensilios ni alimentos cubiertos en papel aluminio, ni de grandes dimensiones, en la tostadora.

– Los dedos ni utensilios de metal en la tostadora cuando el aparato se encuentre enchufado.

• No intente desalojar alimentos cuando la tostadora esté enchufada.

• No utilice alimentos cuyas cubiertas o rellenos puedan gotear a consecuencia del calentamiento.

Tales acumulaciones dentro de la tostadora crean condiciones poco sanitarias así como la
posibilidad de incendios o malfuncionamientos de la tostadora. Elimine con frecuencia las migas
acumuladas para evitar el riesgo de incendios o el malfuncionamiento del tostadora. No opere
la tostadora sin haber antes devuelto la bandeja para migas a su posición correcta.

• No opere ningún aparato que tenga un cordón o enchufe dañado, o después de que se haya

producido un malfuncionamiento en el aparato o que haya sido dañado en cualquier forma.
Devuelva la tostadora al centro de servicio autorizado de Sunbeam para su inspección, ajuste,
reparación o cualquier ajuste electromecánico.

• No utilice la tostadora a la intemperie o para usos comerciales: esta tostadora es para el uso

doméstico exclusivamente.

• Sólo utilice este aparato para su uso original conforme a lo descrito en este manual; no utilice

aditamentos que no hayan sido recomendados por el fabricante, ya que pueden producir
lesionamientos.

• Puede producirse un incendio si se cubre la tostadora o si entra en contacto con material inflamable,

incluyendo cortinas, tapicería, paredes y afines mientras que se encuentre funcionando.

• El mando elevador de tostadas debe estar en la posición elevada antes de conectar o desconectar el

enchufe de la pared.

Obedezca las siguientes instrucciones para asegurar el uso correcto del cordón de potencia.
• Esta tostadora cuenta con una zona de cordón de potencia que le permite ajustarlo a la longitud correcta

para su situación. Trate de colocar la tostadora cerca del tomacorrientes apropiado para disminuir
los riesgos asociados con los cordones de potencia (tales como enredarse con un cordón de potencia
de longitud excesiva o tropezarse sobre él).

• Si resulta necesario, se puede hacer uso de una extensión eléctrica, pero asegúrese de seguir estas

direcciones:
– La notación eléctrica de la extensión eléctrica debe ser de un mínimo de 120/127 voltios, 60 Hz.
– La extensión eléctrica debe estar colocada de tal manera que no se envuelva sobre el mostrador

o la superficie de la mesa, ni que tampoco quede al alcance de los niños, ni que tampoco pueda
tropezarse sobre ella.

• Para los tostadoraes cuya compra se efectúa en EE.UU. y el Canadá: este aparato cuenta con un enchufe

polarizado (una hoja es mas ancha que la otra). Para disminuir el riesgo de los choques eléctricos, dicho
enchufe se adaptará a un tomacorrientes polarizado de una manera solamente. Si no puede insertar
el enchufe en el tomacorrientes completamente, invierta la dirección del enchufe. Si aún no cabe,
comuníquese con un electricista experto. No modifique el enchufe.

• No tire, tuerza ni abuse el cordón de potencia.
• No opere ningún aparato eléctrico que tenga un cordón o enchufe dañado, ni después de que se haya

producido el malfuncionamiento de la unidad, ni que se haya caído o dañado en cualquier manera.

• Desenchufe la tostadora cuando ésta no se encuentre en uso y antes de limpiarla.
• No envuelva el cordón de potencia alrededor del cuerpo de la tostadora ni durante ni después del uso.
