SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
• Use this appliance only for its intended use as
described in this guide. Do not use corrosive
chemicals or vapors in this appliance. This type of
oven is specically designed to heat, cook or dry
food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory
use.
• This appliance should be serviced only by qualied

this product near water (e.g. near a kitchen sink,
in a wet basement or near a swimming pool, or
similar locations).
• Do not immerse cord or plug in water.
• Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE IN THE OVEN
• Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance
when paper, plastic or other combustible materials
are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.
• Remove wire twist ties from paper or plastic bags
before placing bag in oven.
• If materials inside the oven ignite, keep oven door
closed, turn oven off and disconnect the power
cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker
panel.
• Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not
leave paper products, cooking utensils or food in
