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

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

or toaster 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.

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 electrical or mechanical
adjustment.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

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

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

16. A fire may occur if the toaster 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 other than metal or glass.

This appliance is intended for household use only.

This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug. This type of plug
has one blade wider than the other. The plug will fit into an electrical
outlet only one way. This is a safety feature intended to help reduce
the risk of electrical shock. If you are unable to insert the plug into
the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit,
contact a qualified electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do
not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug by
modifying the plug in any way.

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 toaster 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.

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 for the first time. Plug the toaster oven into an
outlet. Turn the Temperature Knob to 450°F. 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.

waffles, place oven rack in the middle position. Select a
light color and toast directly on the oven rack. If pastry has
a glaze of frosting, use baking pan.

• When toasting, condensation may form on the oven door.
The moisture will slowly escape from the enclosed oven.

• The number of slices of bread and the bread freshness
will affect toast color. For example, toasting 4 slices of
bread will require a darker toast color setting than 2 slices
