POLARIZED PLUG
This appliarwe has a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the other). 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

SHORT POWER CORD
The toaster oven’s power cord is short to
reduce your risk of becoming entangled in or
tripping over a long cord. You can obtain a
longer, detachable power-supply cord or
extension cord, but be careful when using
toaster oven equipped with extra cord length.
If you are using a longer detachable power-
supply cord or extension cord, (1) the marked
electrical rating of the extension cord should
be at least as great as the electrical rating of
the appliarwe, and (2) arrange the longer
cord so that it will not drape over the counter
top or table top where it can be pulled on by
children or tnpped over unintentionally.
