4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near children. This appliance is not intended to be used by children.
5. Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or removing parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged power cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Contact Aroma® Customer Service for examination, repair or adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by Aroma® Housewares, may result in fire, electrical shock or injury.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let the power cord touch hot surfaces or hang over the edge of a counter or table.
10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
11. Extreme caution must be used when using or moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
12. Do not use the appliance for anything other than its intended use.
13. Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces may break off the pad and touch electrical parts, creating a risk of electric shock.
14. Be sure to use on a dry, level and heat­resistant surface.
15. Prior to plugging appliance into the wall outlet, ensure the temperature control dial is set to the MIN position. To disconnect, turn the dial to the MIN position, and then remove the plug from wall outlet.
16. Keep at least 4 inches away from walls and other flammables in a well­ventilated area.
17. Do not store any materials, other than those accessories recommended by Aroma® Housewares, in this oven when not in use.
18. Use only with a 120V AC power outlet.
19. The roaster oven should be operated on a separate electric circuit from other operating appliances. If the electric circuit is overloaded with other appliances, this appliance may not operate properly.
20. Always make sure the outside of the enameled cooking pan is dry prior to using. If the cooking pan is returned to the roaster oven when wet, it may damage or cause the product to malfunction.
21. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, cook only in the removable enameled cooking pan provided.
22. Oversized foods or metal utensils must not be inserted in the roaster oven as they may create a fire or risk of electric shock.

24. Do not cover any part of the roaster oven with metal foil. This will cause overheating of the roaster oven.
25. Use extreme caution when opening the lid during or after cooking. Hot steam will escape and may cause scalding.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Short Cord Instructions

1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
2. Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
3. If a longer extension cord is used:
   • The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
   • The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled by children or tripped over unintentionally.

Polarized Plug

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other); follow the instructions below:

• To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

THIS APPLIANCE IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
