OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION

This appliance is intended for household use only. WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug (one wide blade) that reduces 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 using an adapter. If the plug does not fit, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an elec- trician 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. Before First Use Most heating appliances produce an odor and/or smoke when used the first time. Plug the toaster oven into an outlet. Turn Temperature Dial to 450°F (230ºC). Heat at this temperature for 10 minutes. The odor should not be present after this initial preheating. Wash baking pan, broil rack*, and oven rack before using. NOTE: *Broil rack is an optional accessory on select models.

19. Do not place any of the following materials in the oven: paper,

cardboard, plastic, and the like.

20. Do not cover crumb tray or any part of the oven with metal foil.

This will cause overheating of the oven.

21. To turn oven off, turn Timer to OFF position. See “Parts and

22. Do not place eyes or face in close proximity with tempered

safety glass door, in the event that the safety glass breaks.

Place oven rack in HIGH RACK POSITION (shown) for toast, English muffins, bagels, and waffles. Turn Temperature Dial to

ROIL/TOAST. Rotate Timer past 10 and then back to desired toast color. A bell will sound when the toast cycle is complete.

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

• To toast bagels, English muffins, and waffles, place oven rack in HIGH RACK POSITION and place food cut/split side facing up. This will toast the cut/split side more than the outside food. Set Timer to desired setting.

• To toast regular toaster pastries or frozen pastries, place oven rack in the MIDDLE 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. Fire Hazard.

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

Moisture forms on inside of oven door when toasting. An odor and smoke come from oven. Oven will not toast. Some foods burn and some are not done.

• Smoke and odor are normal during first use of most heating appliances. These will not be present after initial heating period.

• Check to make sure outlet is working and oven is plugged in. Turn Temperature Dial to T OAST/BROIL. Turn Function Dial to T OAST; then rotate Timer past 10 and then back to desired toast color.

• Adjust oven rack position to center food in oven.

• Adjust oven temperature or cooking time for best results with your recipes. 840176403 ENnv01.qxd:Layout 1 1/9/09 9:52 AM Page 1011 This warranty applies to products purchased in the U.S. and Canada.
