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

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

• 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. Rotate Timer past 10 and then back to desired toast color. A bell will sound when the toast cycle is complete. w WARNING Fire Hazard.

Some foods burn and some are not done. Concentrated steam comes out of top corners of oven door. PROBABLE CAUSE

• Check to make sure electrical outlet is working and the oven is plugged in. Turn Temperature Dial to 350°F (177°C) and turn Timer to (ON) while pressing in and holding the buttons on the side of the dial.

• This is normal when toasting in a toaster oven. Moisture is slower to escape from a toaster oven than from a toaster. The amount of moisture will differ between fresh bread, bagels, and frozen pastries.

• 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 (toast) and rotate Timer past 10 and then back to desired toast color.

• Adjust oven temperature or cooking time for best results with your recipes.

• Moisture escaping from oven will be concentrated into streams from the top corners of the door. This gives the appearance of smoke. This is normal for this product.
