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

❑Read all instructions.

❑Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.

❑To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plug, or any non-removable parts of this oven in water or other liquid.

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

❑Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts.

❑Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment. Or, call the appropriate toll- free number listed on the cover of this manual.

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

❑Do not use outdoors.

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

❑Do not place on or near a hot gas or electrical burner, or in a heated oven.

❑Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquid.

❑Turn all controls to OFF before inserting or removing plug from wall outlet.

❑Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

❑Oversize foods or metal utensils must not be inserted in this appliance, as they may create a fire or risk of electric shock.

❑A fire may occur if the toaster oven is covered or touching flammable material including curtains, draperies, walls and the like, when in operation. Do not store any item on top of unit when in operation.

❑Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad and touch electrical parts resulting in a risk of electric shock.

❑Extreme caution should be used when using containers constructed of other than metal or glass.

❑Do not store any material, other than manufacturer's recommended accessories, in this oven when not in use.

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

❑Do not cover crumb tray or any parts of the oven with metal foil. This will cause overheating of the oven.

❑To stop toasting, turn toast shade selector to OFF. To stop baking or broiling, turn temperature control OFF and Timer to OFF.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.

ELECTRICAL CORD

a)A short power-supply cord is to be provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

b)Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.

c)If an extension cord is used,

1)The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and

2)The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.

NOTE: If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
