IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:

1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles

or knobs.

3. Close supervision is necessary when

any appliance is used by or near
children.

4. To protect against electric shock, do

not immerse cord, plug or any parts
of the oven in water or other liquids.

5. Do not let cord hang over edge of

table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.

6. Do not operate appliance with

damaged cord or plug or after the
appliance malfunctions, or has been
damaged in any manner. Return the
appliance to the nearest authorized
service center for examination,
repair, or adjustment.

7. The use of accessory attachments

not recommended by the appliance
manufacturer may cause hazard
or injury.

8. Do not place on or near a hot gas or

electric burner, or 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 for
adequate air circulation.

10. Unplug from outlet when not in use

or before cleaning. Allow to cool
before putting on or taking off parts,
and before cleaning.

11. To disconnect, turn the control to

OFF, then remove the plug. Always
hold the plug, but never pull the
cord.

12. Extreme caution must be used when

moving an appliance containing hot
oil or other hot liquids.

13. Do not cover CRUMB TRAY or any

part of the Oven with metal foil. This
may cause overheating of the Oven.

14. Use extreme caution when removing

tray or disposing of hot grease or
other hot liquids.

15. Do not clean with metal scouring

pads. Pieces can break off the pad
and touch electrical parts, creating
a risk of electric shock.

16. Oversized foods or metal utensils

must not be inserted in a toaster
oven as they may create a fire or
a risk of electric shock.

17. A fire may occur if the Oven is covered

or touching flammable material,
including curtains, draperies, walls,
and the like, when in operation.
Do not store any item on the Oven
during operation.

18. Extreme caution should be exercised

when using containers constructed of
anything other than metal or glass.

19. Do not place any of the following

materials in the Oven: cardboard,
plastic, paper, or other flammable
materials.

20. Do not store any materials, other

than manufacturers recommended
accessories, in this Oven when not
in use.

21. Always wear protective, insulated

oven mitts when inserting or removing
items from the hot Oven.

22. This appliance has a tempered, safety

glass door. The glass is stronger than
ordinary glass and more resistant to
breakage. Tempered glass can break,
but the pieces will not have sharp
edges. Avoid scratching door surface
or nicking edges. If the door has a
scratch or nick, contact our toll-free
consumer relations line before using
the oven.

23. Do not use outdoors.
24. Do not use appliance for other than

intended use.
