IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always
be followed, including the following:
❑ Read all instructions.
❑ Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
❑ To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plug
or any non-removable parts of this oven in water or other liquid.
❑ Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near
children.
❑ Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool
before putting on or taking off parts.
❑ Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after
the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any manner.
Return the appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for
examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment. Or, call
the appropriate toll-free number listed on the cover of this manual.
❑ The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance
manufacturer may cause injuries.
❑ Do not use outdoors.
❑ Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot
surfaces.
❑ Do not place on or near a hot gas or electrical burner, or in a heated
oven.
❑ Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing
hot oil or other hot liquid.
❑ To disconnect, turn any control to OFF (0), then remove plug from wall
outlet.
❑ Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
❑ Oversize foods or metal utensils must not be inserted in this appliance,
as they may create a fire or risk of electric shock.
❑ A fire may occur if the toaster oven is covered or touching flammable
material including curtains, draperies, walls and the like, when in
operation. Do not store any item on top of unit when in operation.
❑ Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad
and touch electrical parts resulting in a risk of electric shock.
❑ Extreme caution should be used when using containers constructed of
other than metal or glass.

This product is for household use only.
GROUNDED PLUG
As a safety feature, this product is equipped with a grounded plug, which will only
fit into a three-prong outlet. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature. Improper
connection of the grounding conductor may result in the risk of electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly
grounded.
ELECTRICAL CORD
a) A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
b) Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in
their use.
c) If an extension cord is used,
1) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be
at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and
2) The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop
or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over
unintentionally.
If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a
grounding-type 3-wire cord.
TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW
Warning: This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent
removal of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not
attempt to remove the outer cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
Repair should be done only by authorized service personnel.
Note: If the power supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced by qualified
personnel; in Latin America, by an authorized service center.
