Other Consumer Safety Information
This appliance is intended for household use only.
WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard: This appliance is provided
with a polarized plug (one wide blade) to reduce 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 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.
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.
18. Extreme caution should be exercised when using containers
constructed of materials other than metal or glass.
19. Do not store any materials, other than manufacturer-
recommended accessories, in this oven when not in use.
20. Do not place any of the following materials in the oven: paper,
cardboard, plastic, and the like.
21. Do not cover crumb tray or any part of the oven with metal foil.
This will cause overheating of the oven.
22. To turn oven off, turn Timer to OFF ( ) position. See any of the
“How To” sections for specifics.
23. Do not place eyes or face in close proximity with tempered safety
glass door, in the event that the safety glass breaks.
24. Always use appliance with crumb tray securely in the closed and
locked position.
25. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
26. Clean oven interior carefully. Do not scratch or damage heating
element tube.
27. This appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an
external timer or separate remote control system.
28. CAUTION: HOT SURFACE. The temperature of accessible
surfaces may be high when the appliance is operating.

How to Use Toast and Bagel Settings (cont.)
• When toasting only two slices of bread, place bread in center of
toasting area on low rack position to get even toasting on top and
bottom.
• To toast regular toaster pastries or frozen pastries, place oven
rack in the low 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.
