SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of

personal injury resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a
longer cord. Extension cords are available from local hardware stores and
may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is
required, special care and caution is necessary. Also the cord must be: (1)
marked with an electrical rating of 125 V and at least 13A.,
1625 W., and (2) the cord must be arranged so that it will not drape over
the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped
over accidentally.

POLARIZED PLUG: This appliance has a polarized plug, (one blade is
wider than the other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical
shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the
plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

ELECTRIC POWER: If the electric circuit is overloaded with other
appliances, your appliance may not operate properly. It should be
operated on a separate electrical circuit from other appliances.

This product is for household use only.
Remove all packaging materials including the piece of paper that has been

placed between the top of the oven door and oven for protection during
shipping. Also remove the piece of cardboard that has also been placed
between the bottom of the oven door and the oven.
