Other Consumer Safety Information

This appliance is intended for household use only.

WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard
This appliance is provided with a polarized plug (one wide blade) to reduce the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.

The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the appliance. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another high-wattage appliance on the same circuit with this appliance.

BEFORE FIRST USE
Most heating appliances produce an odor and/or smoke when used the first time. Plug the toaster oven into an outlet. Turn Temperature Dial to 450°F (230°C). Heat at this temperature for 10 minutes. The odor should not be present after this initial preheating. Wash the baking pan and oven rack before using.

  • When toasting only two slices of bread place the bread in the middle of the oven rack to get even toasting on top and bottom.
  • To toast bagels, English muffins, and waffles, place oven rack in HIGH RACK POSITION and place food cut/split side facing up. This will toast the cut/split side more than the outside food. Set Timer to the desired setting.
  • To toast regular toaster pastries or frozen pastries, place the oven rack in the HIGH RACK POSITION. Select a lighter color and toast directly on the oven rack. If the pastry has a glaze or frosting, use a baking pan.
  • When toasting, condensation may form on the oven door. The moisture will slowly escape from the enclosed oven.
  • The number of slices of bread and the bread’s freshness will affect the toast color. For example, toasting 4 slices of bread will require a darker toast color setting than 2 slices of bread. Adjust the Timer based on the desired color and the number of slices.
  • If you are not satisfied with the color balance between the two sides of your food in the recommended rack position, select a different rack position.
