SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS 1 ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS ¾ Oversize foods or metal utensils must not be inserted in a toaster- oven as they may create a fire or risk of electric shock. ¾ The oven becomes very hot when in use. (glass door, top, back, and side of the oven). Be sure to use handles and wear protective oven mitts or gloves. ¾ DO NOT touch the interior parts until they have completely cooled. ¾ Extreme caution should be exercised when using containers constructed of other than metal or glass. ¾ Do not store any materials, other than manufacturers recommended accessories, in this oven when not in use. ¾ When the oven door is open, DO NOT set anything on the door-it might break the glass. SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS 1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risk 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: a. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. b. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top 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. This appliance is for household use only. 2 PARTS IDENTIFICATION 3 CONTROL & ACCESSORIES Your Aroma Professional Rotisserie Oven/Grill has great features and benefits with a full accessories package.
