Parts and Features
CORD INSTRUCTIONS
- A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) should be used to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in 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:
- The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance;
- 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.
- If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
BEFORE FIRST USE
- Remove all accessories and shipping materials packed inside the Oven. Be sure to check the bottom of the oven and Crumb Tray to remove any tape that may be holding it in place.
- Wash the Baking Rack and Baking Tray in warm soapy water. Wipe the inside of the Oven with a damp cloth or sponge. Blot dry with paper towels to be sure the unit is dry before use.
- . Place Oven on a flat counter or other stable surface.
- Make sure the Crumb Tray is properly installed before using it.
For the first time only, Set the Temperature Knob to MAX, the function setting on toast, and the timer to 15 minutes. This will burn off any oils still in the Oven. NOTE: The oven may smoke during this process. This is normal for a new Oven and will not last more than 10-15 minutes.
