SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Safety of this appliance complies with the technical regulations and norms in force.

• Make sure that the network voltage corresponds to that indicated on the appliance.

• Considering the diversity of the norms in force, check whether the appliance is used in a coun­try other than that in which it was purchased. Have it verified by an authorized service station.

• Use a stable work platform, protected from water projections.

• Do not carry or move the equipment when in use.

• Do not unplug the equipment by pulling the cord.

INSTRUCTIONS ON THE POWER CORD

• The electrical cord is short in a manner as to reduce the risks of injury that could occur if one
gets entangled or if one trips on a longer cord.

• This equipment has a polarized plug (one prong is wider than the other). In order to reduce the
risk of electric shock, this plug has been designed in such a manner that it can be connected
to the current socket in just one way. If the plug cannot be inserted into the current socket
properly, invert the pins. If the problem persists, call a qualified electrician.
Do not try to modify the socket in any way.

• Certain precautions are imposed if you are using an extension cord:
(a) Electric power of your extension cord should at least be equal to that of your toaster oven.
(b) The extension cord should be kept beyond the reach of children and should be kept in such
a way that no one trips on it or is injured by it.
(c) The extension should be equipped with a ground cable if the plug of the cable of your equip­ment is equipped with a ground electrode.

• Do not touch the metallic or hot parts of the oven while it is in use. Use the buttons and the
handle. Use oven mitts, if necessary.

• Do not immerse the electrical cord, the current socket or the appliance in water or any other
liquid so as to avoid electric shocks.

• Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug cord into the wall outlet.

• To turn off the oven, press stop and unplug it.

• Unplug the appliance when not in use and before cleaning it. Wait for the equipment to cool
before cleaning or putting it away.

• Do not use the appliance if:

• This equipment has a polarized plug (one prong is larger than the other): in order to reduce the
risk of electric shock, this plug has been designed to connect to the current socket in just one­way. If the plug cannot be inserted into the current socket properly, invert the pins. If the pro­blem persists, call a qualified electrician. Do not try to modify the socket in any way.

• Use of accessories, not recommended by the manufacturer, may be dangerous.

• Do not allow the cord to hang from the table or working surface or touch the hot parts of the
appliance.

• Do not place the appliance on or close to a source of heat (cooking plate, oven, hot gas, elec­tric burner, etc).

• Do not cover the appliance when in use.

• Bread may burn, therefore the toaster oven must not be used near or below curtains and other
combustible materials. It should be attended when in use.

materials such as: blinds, curtains, hangings...

• If some parts of the product catch fire, never try to extinguish flames with water.
Unplug the appliance and smother the flames with a damp cloth. Never try to open the oven’s
door in case of fire in the appliance.

• Do not keep inflammable products close to or under the furniture where the appliance is
placed.

• Oversize foods or metal ustensils must not be inserted in a toaster oven as they may create a
fire or risk of electric shock.

• Unplug the appliance: if a functioning defect occurs, after every use, before changing its posi­tion and before washing it.

• Do not use metallic buffers or abrasive, cleaning agents. Metallic particles may come off and
touch the electrical parts of the equipment and lead to a short circuit.

Using the top oven for cooking or reheating at the same time as
one of the other three cooking modes:

• In this case, the cooking settings (time and temperature, grill or
toasting setting) for the food in the main oven must be chosen
first.

• For each of these cooking modes, the top heating element of
the main oven is used, so that the top oven is heated.

In this case, the cooking time is determined according to
the food being cooked in the main oven. The oven will stop at
the end of this cooking time.

You will therefore need to keep an eye on the cooking or
reheating of the food in the top oven to ensure that they are not
over-cooked or reheated for too long.

Although the warming compartment may be used with the
other three cooking modes, please avoid using the warming
compartment if you are baking delicate items such as soufflés,
etc.

When the main compartment is in use, the top oven is hot!
