POLARIZED PLUG This appliarwe has a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
SHORT POWER CORD
The toaster oven’s power cord is short to
reduce your risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a long cord. You can obtain a longer, detachable power-supply cord or extension cord, but be careful when using toaster oven equipped with extra cord length.
If you are using a longer detachable power­supply cord or extension cord, (1) the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliarwe, and (2) arrange the longer cord so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by
children or tnpped over unintentionally.
