Consumer Safety Information
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is intended for household
use only.
The length of the cord used on this appli-
ance 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
toaster oven. 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 cus-
tomer assistance number.

tant countertop surface or trivet.

elements.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do
not operate another high-wattage appliance
on the same circuit with the toaster oven.
