OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

PRODUCT MAY VARY SLIGHTLY FROM ILLUSTRATIONS

This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. It may be plugged into an AC electrical outlet (ordinary household current). Do not use any other electrical outlet.

CORD PLUG
This appliance has a grounded 3 wire cord. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into an outlet only one way. If it does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from entanglement 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 longer detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used:

1. The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and
2. 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.

LINE CORD SAFETY TIPS

1. Never pull or yank on cord or the appliance.
2. To insert plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into outlet.
3. To disconnect appliance, grasp plug and remove it from outlet.
4. Before each use, inspect the line cord for cuts and/or abrasion marks. If any are found, this indicates that the appliance should be serviced and the line cord replaced.
5. Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance, as this could place undue stress on the cord where it enters the appliance and cause it to fray and break.

DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCE IF THE LINE CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE, OR IF APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.

• Remove bread promptly after toasting to avoid over-toasting by residual heat.
• Any pastry or foods containing fillings will be very hot. Always remove with caution.

USEFUL HINTS

• Smoke may appear during broiling or baking. When broiling, it is always recommended to cut off excess fat on food before placing it in the Toaster Oven to minimize smoke. If the oven smokes during baking, this usually means the oven interior, Cal-rod elements or pan is dirty and requires cleaning. (See CARE AND CLEANING).
• Some cooking may produce condensation on the Toaster Oven door. This is normal and will quickly disappear.
• Frozen foods and thick meat will take longer to cook.
• To prevent heat loss, avoid opening the door during cooking unless necessary.
• When toasting, remember that frozen bread or multiple slices will require a longer toasting time.
• Except when toasting, NEVER place items directly on wire rack. Always use the multipurpose pan or another pan that fits on the wire rack.
• Remove all plastic and paper wrappings from food before cooking.
• Always make sure there is space between top of food being cooked and upper heating element.
