FIG. 2 is a front elevation view of the toaster of FIG. 1;

FIG. 3 is left side elevation view of the toaster of FIG. 1;

FIG. 4 is a rear elevation view of the toaster of FIG. 1;

FIG. 5 is a top plan view of the toaster of FIG. 1;

FIG. 9 is a top plan view of the toaster of FIG. 7.

The right side elevation view of the toaster is a mirror image of the left side elevation view shown in FIG. 3, and is therefore not shown.

The broken lines in the Drawings are for illustrative purposes only in order to show the environment in which the design is associated and form no part of the claimed design.
