CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION:

This appliance is intended for household use only.

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 oven (AC120V, 60 Hz, 1000W). 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 oven from the outlet when not in use.

OPERATION

USING YOUR OVEN FOR THE FIRST TIME

Most heating appliances produce an odor and/or smoke when used for the first time.

Plug the oven into an outlet. Turn the Temperature Knob to 450^ F / TOAST. Heat at this temperature for 10 minutes. The odor should not be present after this initial preheating.

Wash all accessories before using.

AC CONNECTION

Unwind the AC cord and extend it to its full length.

Insert the AC plug into any convenient 120V 60Hz household outlet. Please note that this unit is equipped with a polarized AC plug which has one blade wider than the other. This is a safety feature to reduce the likelihood of electric shock. This polarized AC plug will only fit in a polarized AC outlet. If you find that you cannot insert this plug into your outlet, you may have an obsolete

non-polarized outlet. Please do not try to defeat this safety feature by using a non-polarized adapter or by filing the wider blade to make it fit into your outlet. If this plug does not fit into your outlet, you should contact a qualified licensed electrician to replace your obsolete outlet.

NOTES:
