OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION
This appliance is intended for household use only.
WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug
(one wide blade) that reduces 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 counter-
top 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.
