in a heated oven or in a microwave oven.
9. When operating the oven, keep at least four inches of space on all
sides of the oven to allow adequate air circulation.
10. Unplug the unit from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning.
Allow it to cool completely before putting on or taking off parts, and
before cleaning.

This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than
the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit
into a polarized outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If the plug
does not fit fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician for assistance. Do not attempt to modify this
plug in any way. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of this
polarized plug.

As sh ho or rt tp po ow we er r- -s su up pp pl ly yc co or rd dis provided to reduce the risk resulting
from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Avoid the use
of an extension cord because it may overheat and cause a risk of fire.
However, if you must use an extension cord, the marked electrical rating
should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The
longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter-
top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

• Place the oven on a dry, level surface at least 4 inches away from the wall and
other objects on the countertop.
• Remove all accessories and packing materials from the oven.
• Wash the handgrip, broiling rack, oven pan, wire rack, and crumb tray with
warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.
• Use a damp cloth to lightly wipe the inner walls of the oven. Do not use a
spray or abrasive polishing agent. Do not touch the electric heating elements
and do not soak the inside of the oven with water.
• Wipe the exterior surfaces and door handle.
• Unwind the power cord and plug it into a standard polarized wall outlet.
• Place the broiling rack, oven pan, wire rack, and crumb tray inside the oven
and close the oven door. Do not place the handgrip inside the oven. Preheat

be detected. This is normal and will only last a few minutes. Open the door to
let out any smoke residue inside the oven. Let the accessories cool before
handling.
