IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

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

1. Read all instructions.

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

3. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plug,

or oven in water or other liquid.

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. Allow to

cool before cleaning appliance and putting on or taking off parts.

6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or

after the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in
any manner. Call our toll-free customer service number for
information on examination, 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 or in a

heated oven.

11. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance

containing hot oil or other hot liquids.

12. To disconnect, turn all controls to OFF; then remove plug from

wall outlet.

13. Use extreme caution when removing pan or disposing of hot

grease.

14. Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the

pad and touch electrical parts, creating a risk of electrical shock.

15. Oversize foods or metal utensils must not be inserted in an

oven as they may create a fire or risk of electric shock.

16. A fire may occur if the oven is covered, touching, or near

flammable material, including curtains, draperies, walls, and the
like, when in operation. Do not store any item on top of the
appliance when in operation or before the appliance cools down.

17. Extreme caution should be exercised when using containers

constructed of materials other than metal or glass.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

Other Consumer Safety Information

This appliance is intended for household use only.
WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug (one

wide blade) that reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only
one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of
the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter.
If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.

The length of the cord used on this appliance 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 appliance. 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.

22. Do not place eyes or face in close proximity with tempered

safety glass door, in the event that the safety glass breaks.

23. Always use appliance with crumb tray securely in place.

24. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

25. Clean oven interior carefully. Do not scratch or damage heating

element tube.

This appliance is equipped with a fully tempered safety glass door.
The tempered glass is four times stronger than ordinary glass and
more resistant to breakage. Tempered glass can break; however, it
breaks into pieces with no sharp edges. Care must be taken to avoid
scratching door surface or nicking edges. If the door has a scratch or
nick, call our toll-free customer service number.

Always unplug your oven from the outlet when not in use.

TIPS FOR USING CONVECTION BAKE

NOTE: Convection Bake forces more air to circulate

in the oven, so food will cook faster than the
conventional Bake setting.

• Ovens with convection mode: When baking
pizza, use convection setting and reduce cooking
time by 25%.

• Bake at the same oven temperature but for a
shorter period of time.

OR

• Bake for the same length of time as the conven­tional Bake setting, but reduce the temperature
by about 25 degrees.

OR

• Bake for a slightly shorter period of time AND at a
reduced temperature.

Turn foods halfway through cooking time.
