IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electric appliances basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

1)Read all instructions.

2)Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles, dials and hot pads.

3)To protect against electrical shock, do not place oven in or under water. See instructions for cleaning.

4)Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.

5)Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. To disconnect the appliance, turn the ON/OFF dial to OFF and the thermostat dial to “●”. Then unplug the cord from the wall outlet. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning the appliance.

6)Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any way. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for exa- mination, repair or adjustment.

7)The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.

8)Do not use outdoors.

9)Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.

10)Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner.

11)Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.

12)If the plug gets hot, please call a qualified electrician.

13)Do not use this appliance for other than intended use.

14)Use extreme caution when removing the shallow pan (N) or disposing of hot grease.

15)Do not clean oven with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad and touch electrical parts creating a risk of electric shock.

16)To assure safe operation, oversized utensils or food must not be inserted into the oven.

17)A fire may occur if this appliance is covered or touching flammable material, including curtains, draperies, walls, etc. when in operation.

18)Condensation and a grease deposit may form around the door and the air and steam outlet grilles. This is normal.

19)CAUTION: Never leave the oven unattended when in use (expecially when broiling and toasting).

20)Extreme caution should be exercised when using containers other than ovenproof metal, glass or ceramic.

21)Do not store any materials other than the manufacturer’s recommended accessories in the oven when not in use.

22)Do not place any of the following materials in the oven: paper, cardboard, plastic and the like.

23)Do not cover crumb tray or any part of the oven with metal foil; this can cause overheating of the oven. Use aluminum foil on or under food only as directed in the appliance instructions.

THIS PRODUCT IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: Once having removed the appliance from the packaging, check that the door is intact. As the door is made from glass, it is fragile, and should be replaced if visibly chipped, scored or scrat- ched. Furthermore, when using, cleaning or moving the appliance, do not slam or bang the door or pour cold liquids on the glass when the appliance is hot.

•Your product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

•Plug the cord into a 120 volt AC outlet.

•The cord length of this product has been selected to reduce the possibility of tangling in or tripping over a lon- ger cord. If more cord length is needed, an extension cord may be used. It should be rated no less than 15 amps., 120 volts and have Underwriters Laboratories/CSA listing.

•A six feet long, 15 amp. extension cord may be purchased from your local authorized service facility. When using a longer cord, be sure not to let it drape over the working area or dangle where someone could acciden- tally pull or trip over it.

•Handle the cord carefully for longer life; avoid jerking or straining the cord at the plug and appliance connections.

•Note: Initial start up operation may result in minimal smell and smoke (about 15 min.). This is normal. It is due to the protective substance on heating elements which protects them from salt effects during shipping from factory.
