b) Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
c) If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used:

The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance;
If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding- type 3-wire cord; and
The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

PLASTICIZER WARNING

CAUTION: To prevent Plasticizers from migrating to the finish of the counter top or table top or other furniture, place NON-PLASTIC coasters or place mats between the appliance and the finish of the counter top or table top. Failure to do so may cause the finish to darken; permanent blemishes may occur, or stains can appear.

Note: You can bake in one of 2 ways:
• Use baking pan placed on the oven rack
• Place food directly on the rack
Note: Be sure food does not extend past the edges of the packing pan to prevent liquids from dripping onto the heating elements
• Use a metal, glass or ceramic baking disk placed on the slide rack in either the upper or lower rack slots.
If not using the oven timer, turn the timer to 0 once cooking cycle is complete
Open the oven door. Using oven mitts or pots holders, slide the rack out to remove the cooked food.
Unplug appliance if not in use

BROIL

For best results, preheat the oven with the door closed for at least 5 minutes.

Place wire rack onto the upper shelf position.
Place the food onto the bake/broil pan. Juices and fat will drip into the pan.
Turn temperature control to 450°F.
Position function control to BROIL.
Set timer control to the desired baking time, including the preheat time. The power light will illuminate.
NOTE: The Toaster Oven will shut off automatically only if timer is set.
Carefully center the bake pan or oven-proof container directly on wire rack.
If you are using the timer, when the BROIL time is complete, a signal will sound and the timer control will finish in the 0 position; the Toaster Oven will shut OFF automatically; the power light will go off.
If the food is finished cooking before the timer has signaled, turn temperature control to the lowest position and the timer control to the 0 position. Make sure the power light is off.
Wearing protective oven mitts pull the wire rack out from the Toaster Oven.
Unplug when not in use and allow to cool completely before cleaning.
WARNING: NEVER LEAVE TOASTER OVEN UNATTENDED DURING BROILING.

HINTS FOR BROILING

Broiling is used for tender cuts of meats or marinated meats, fish and some fruits and vegetables. Cooking time is determined by the desired doneness and the distance between the food and the element.
Do not place aluminum foil on top of the bake/broil pan. This traps grease and can cause a fire.
For best results, thaw frozen meats, poultry and fish before broiling.
Trim excess fat from meat and score edges to prevent curling

TOAST

It is not necessary to preheat the oven for toasting.

Place wire rack onto the upper shelf position.
Place the desired pieces of bread directly on the oven rack and close the door.
Turn temperature selector to 450°F for optimal performance.
Position function control to TOAST.
To set the timer control to the desired toast browning level, turn the dial past the 20 minute mark and then turn back to the appropriate toast browning setting. The power light will illuminate.
When TOAST time is complete, a signal will sound, and the timer control will finish in the 0 position; the Toaster Oven will shut off automatically; the power light will go off.
NOTE: If toasting is completed before the timer control shuts the Toaster Oven OFF, you may shut the Toaster Oven OFF manually by turning the timer control to the 0 position. The power light will go off.
Open the glass door. Wearing protective oven mitts pull the wire rack out from the Toaster Oven. Be careful when removing toast from the back of the wire rack. The inside of the Toaster Oven is very hot. Close glass door.
Unplug unit and allow to cool before cleaning.
WARNING: DO NOT LEAVE TOASTER OVEN UNATTENDED DURING TOASTING.

HINTS FOR TOAST

Remove all protective wrappings from food before placing in Toaster Oven. Follow toaster food directions.
Frozen and heavy bread require a darker browning setting (e.g. bagels and English muffins).
One slice of bread requires a lighter setting than several slices of bread. When toasting more than one slice of bread, use slices of similar size, thickness and freshness.
Stale bread, thin bread or sweet bread products, such as tea cakes and fruit loaf, brown much more quickly than ordinary bread, so they should be toasted for less time.
