Other Consumer Safety Information

This roaster oven is not intended for commercial, professional, or industrial- type usage. This roaster oven is designed only for cooking food. It should not be used for heating non-food products such as melting wax. This appliance is designed, built, and intended for household use only.

The length of the cord used on this appli- ance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in, or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary an approved extension cord may be used.

The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the roaster oven. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.
