Other Consumer Safety Information

This appliance is intended for household use only.

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard: This appliance is provided with a polarized plug (one wide blade) to reduce the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.

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 appliance. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.

To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another high wattage appliance on the same circuit with this appliance.

BEFORE FIRST USE

Temperature Dial to 450°F (230°C). Heat at this temperature for 10 minutes. The odor should not be present after this initial preheating. Wash baking pan and oven rack before using.

• When toasting only two slices of bread, place bread in middle of oven rack to get even toasting on top and bottom.
