IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electric 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. To protect against electrical shock do not
immerse cord, plug, or oven in water or other
liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appli-
ance is used by or near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before
cleaning. Allow to cool before cleaning appliance
and putting on or taking off parts.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged
cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions
or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Call
our toll-free customer service number for
information on examination, repair or adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recom-
mended by the manufacturer may cause
injuries.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or
counter, or touch hot surfaces, including the stove.
10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric
burner, or in a heated oven.

moving appliance.
12. To disconnect, turn any control to Off, then
remove plug from wall outlet.
13. Use extreme caution when removing tray or dis-
posing of hot grease.
14. Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces
can break off the pad and touch electrical parts,
creating a risk of electrical shock.
15. Oversize foods or metal utensils must not be
inserted in a oven as they may create a fire or
risk of electric shock.
16. A fire may occur if the oven is covered, touching
or near flammable material, including curtains,
draperies, walls, and the like, when in operation.

when in operation, or before the appliance cools
down.

using containers constructed of other than metal
or glass.

turer-recommended accessories, in this oven.
19. Do not place any of the following materials in
the oven: paper, cardboard, plastic, and the like.
20. Do not cover crumb tray or any part of the oven
with metal foil. This will cause overheating of the
oven.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is intended for household use only.
This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug. This type
of plug has one blade wider than the other. The plug will fit
into an electrical outlet only one way. This is a safety fea-
ture intended to help reduce the risk of electrical shock. If
you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, try revers-
ing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact a quali-
fied electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not
attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug
by modifying the plug in any way.
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 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 acci-
dentally 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 oven from the outlet when not in use.
Before First Use
Most heating appliances produce an odor and/or smoke
when used for the first time. Plug the oven into an outlet.
Turn the Temperature Knob to 450°F (230ºC). Heat at this
temperature for 10 minutes. The odor should not be pre-
sent after this initial preheating. Wash all accessories
before using.
