SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

The Toaster Oven has a short cord to reduce the hazards
of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
An extension cord may be used if the rating is equal to or
greater than the rating of the Toaster Oven. Use an
extension cord rated 13 amperes or greater. Care must
be taken to arrange extension cord so that it will not
drape over countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled
on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

Operating the Toaster Oven and another appliance at the
same time from the same electrical circuit could cause an
electrical overload condition, which would blow the fuse
or trip the circuit breaker.

INSTRUCTIONS

The Philips Toaster Oven has a polarized plug for an
added safety feature (one blade is wider than the other).To

reduce the risk of electric shock:

• Plug will fit into polarized outlet only one way.

• If plug does not properly fit outlet at first, reverse it.

• If plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
