IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Basic safety precautions should always be followed when using electrical appliances, including the following:

1. Important: Read all instructions carefully before first use.
2. Do not touch hot metal surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
3. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse the appliance, cord, or plug in water or other liquid. See instructions for cleaning.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. This appliance is not intended to be used by children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow cooling before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been amazed 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 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. Intended for countertop use or on a dry, level, heat resistant surface.
15. Keep at least 4 inches away from walls and other flammables in a well-ventilated area.
16. Prior to plugging an appliance into the wall outlet, ensure the temperature control dial is set to the MIN position. To disconnect, turn the temperature control to the MIN  position, and then remove the plug from the wall outlet.
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 removable enameled cooking pan is dry prior to use. 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 electric shock, cook only in the removable enameled cooking pan provided.
22. Oversize foods or metal utensils must not be inserted in the toaster oven as they may create a fire or risk of electric shock.
23. A fire may occur if the toaster oven is covered by or touching flammable materials, including curtains, draperies, walls, and the like, when in operation. Do not store any item on top of the appliance when in operation.
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.
26. To disconnect, first, turn the temperature control to the MIN position, then remove the plug from the wall outlet. Never pull on the cord.
27. Use oven mitts when removing the enameled cooking pan and/or cooked food from the toaster oven.
