Consumer Safety Information

This appliance is intended for household
use only.
This appliance is equipped with a polarized
plug. This type of plug has one blade wider
than the other. The plug will fit into an
electrical outlet only one way. This is a safety
feature intended to help reduce the risk of
electrical shock. If you are unable to insert
the plug into the outlet, try reversing the
plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact
a qualified electrician to replace the obsolete
outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the safety
purpose of the polarized plug by modifying
the plug in any way.
The length of the cord used on this appli-
ance was selected to reduce the hazards of
becoming tangled in, or tripping over a
longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary an
approved extension cord may be used. The
electrical rating of the extension cord must
be equal to or greater than the rating of the
toaster oven. Care must be taken to arrange
the extension cord so that it will not drape
over the countertop or tabletop where it can
be pulled on by children or accidentally
tripped over.
This appliance is equipped with a fully
tempered safety glass door. The tempered
glass is four times stronger than ordinary
glass and more resistant to breakage.
Tempered glass can break, however it breaks
into pieces with no sharp edges. Care must
be taken to avoid scratching door surface or
nicking edges. If the door has a scratch or
nick, call our toll-free customer assistance
number.

Before First Use

Remove broil grid, baking pan, and oven
rack. Wash in hot, soapy water. Rinse
and dry.
Always unplug your toaster oven from the
outlet when not in use.
When heavy foods are on the oven rack, do
not pull the oven rack out more than halfway.
To baste or check for doneness, remove food
from the oven and place on counter.
The oven door is not a shelf. Do not place
anything on the oven door.
Do not place bake pan directly on heating
elements.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload,
do not operate another high-wattage appli-
ance on the same circuit with the toaster
oven.
Most heating appliances produce an odor
and/or smoke when used for the first time.
Plug toaster oven into outlet. Turn the
Temperature Dial to 450°F. Set Oven Control
Switch to BAKE. Heat at this temperature for
10 minutes. The odor should not be present
after this initial preheating.
