To disconnect, turn any control to OFF, then unplug the power cord from the outlet. Do not disconnect by pulling on the cord. Always grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. Do not attempt to replace or splice a damaged cord. Return appliance to the manufacturer (see warranty) for examination, repair, or adjustment.
The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
Do not use outdoors or for commercial purposes.
Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
Do not place on or near wet surfaces, or heat sources such as a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance or removing a pan, containing hot oil or other hot liquids. Always protect your hands with non-slip oven mitts or similar.
Do not use the appliance other than intended use. Misuse can cause injuries. Intended for household countertop use only. Keep 6 inches (152 mm) clear from the wall and on all sides. Always use the appliance on a dry, stable, level surface.
Oversize foods or metal utensils must not be inserted in a countertop oven as they may create a fire or risk of electric shock.
A fire may occur if the countertop oven is covered, touching, or near flammable materials, including curtains, draperies, towels, walls, and the like, when in operation. Do not store any item on top of the appliance when in operation.
Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad and touch electrical parts, creating a risk of electric shock.

Do not store any materials, other than the manufacturer’s recommended accessories, in this oven when not in use.
Do not place any of the following materials in the oven: paper, cardboard, plastic, or any materials that may catch fire or melt.
Do not cover the crumb tray or any part of the oven with metal foil. This will cause overheating of the oven.
Empty the crumb tray after each use.
The glass door is made of tempered glass. Always inspect the glass door for chips, cracks, or any other damage. Do not use the countertop oven if the glass door is damaged, as the glass may shatter during use.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

North American models with polarized plugs:

POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug, (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature or modify the plugin anyway. If the plug fits loosely into the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm do not use that outlet.

POWER CORD INSTRUCTIONS:

A short power-supply cord or detachable power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used:
a. The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance;
b. The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally; and
c. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the cord set or extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
Do not pull, twist, or otherwise abuse the power cord.

NOTICES

Some countertop and table surfaces are not designed to withstand the prolonged heat generated by certain appliances. Do not set the heated unit on a finished wood table. We recommend placing a hot pad or trivet under your countertop oven to prevent possible damage to the surface.
During initial use of this appliance, some slight smoke and/or odor may be detected. This is normal with many heating appliances and will not recur after a few uses.
