Hamilton Beach 840099000 - Manual (Page 3)

5 4
This appliance is intended for household use only.
This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug. This type of plug
has one blade wider than the other. The plug will fit into an electrical
outlet only one way. This is a safety feature intended to help reduce
the risk of electrical shock. If you are unable to insert the plug into
the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit,
contact a qualified electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do
not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug by
modifying the plug in any way.
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 toaster oven. 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.
This appliance is equipped with a fully tempered safety glass door.
The tempered glass is four times stronger than ordinary glass and
more resistant to breakage. Tempered glass can break, however it
breaks into pieces with no sharp edges. Care must be taken to
avoid scratching door surface or nicking edges. If the door has a
scratch or nick, call our toll-free customer service number.
Always unplug your toaster oven from the outlet when not in use.
Before First Use
Most heating appliances produce an odor and/or smoke
when used for the first time. Plug the toaster oven into an
outlet. Turn the Temperature Knob to 450°F. Heat at this
temperature for 10 minutes. The odor should not be present
after this initial preheating. Wash baking pan, broil rack, and
oven rack before using.
