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 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 service number.

Always unplug your toaster oven from the outlet when not in use.

Toasting Tips

• When toasting only two slices of bread, place bread in center of toasting area on low rack position to get even toasting on top and bottom.
• To toast regular toaster pastries or frozen pastries, place oven rack in the low rack position.
• Select a color lighter than medium and toast directly on the oven rack. If pastry has a glaze or frosting, use baking pan.

• When toasting, condensation may form on the oven door. The moisture will slowly escape from the enclosed oven.

• The number of slices of bread and the bread freshness will affect toast color. For example, toasting 4 slices of bread will require a darker toast color setting than 2 slices of bread. Adjust the timer based on desired color and number of slices.

• If you are not satisfied with the color balance between the two sides of your food in the recommended rack position, select a different rack position.

How to Use Bake, Broil, or Warm Settings

WARNING Fire Hazard.

• If contents ignite, do not open oven door. Unplug oven and allow contents to stop burning and cool before opening door.
• Do not use oven cooking bags.

Baking/Broiling Tips

• Do not totally enclose foods in aluminum foil. Foil can insulate foods and slow down heating.

• Reheat leftover roasts or casseroles at 350^ (177°C) for 20 to 30 minutes or until heated through.

• Bake foods, such as pizza, on the LOW RACK POSITION. Place food directly on oven rack or in baking pan.

• Bake foods, such as chicken pieces or thick pork chops, on the LOW RACK POSITION. Place food in baking pan.
• Turn foods halfway through cooking time. Visit foodsafety.gov for more safe cooking temperature information.
