The length of the cord used on this appliance 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. Always unplug appliance 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 heat-resistant countertop surface or trivet. Do not place bake pan directly on heating elements. To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not operate another high-wattage appliance on the same circuit with the toaster oven. Before First Use Most heating appliances produce an odor and/or smoke when used for the first time. Plug toaster oven into outlet. Turn the Oven Control Switch to 450°F. Set Toast Shade Selector/Timer to Oven ON. Heat at this temperature for 10 minutes. The odor should not be present after this initial preheating. Remove baking pan, broil rack, and oven rack. Wash in hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry. 3
