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 using an adapter. If the
plug does not fit, 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.

Before First Use

Most heating appliances produce an odor and/or smoke when used
the first time. Plug the toaster oven into an outlet. Turn Temperature
Dial to 450°F (230ºC). Heat at this temperature for 10 minutes. The
odor should not be present after this initial preheating. Wash baking

pan, broil rack*, and oven rack before using.
NOTE: *Broil rack is an optional accessory on select models.

19. Do not place any of the following materials in the oven: paper,

cardboard, plastic, and the like.

20. Do not cover crumb tray or any part of the oven with metal foil.

This will cause overheating of the oven.

21. To turn oven off, turn Timer to OFF position. See “Parts and

Features” section.

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.
