with a polarized plug (one wide blade) to reduce 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.

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 toaster oven from the outlet when not in use.
