OPERATING PRECAUTIONS

• This device is not intended to heat oil or other liquids.

• Do not use sharp utensils to clean oven door glass as scratching may weaken it

and cause shattering.

• Do not touch heating elements as serious burns may result.

• Set cooking containers, pans, and trays on a hot pad, trivet or other heat

protective surface. Do not set directly on the counter, table or other surface.

• Failure to clean after each use may result in fire hazard.

• Be extremely cautious of steam as you lift the cover.

• Unplug oven and close door if fire is observed.

• A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming

entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

• Longer, detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and

may be used if care is exercised in their use. While use of an extension cord is not recommended, if you must use one, the marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord. The cord should be arranged so that it will not hang over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled by children or tripped over.

• Do not attempt to repair this product yourself.
