Consumer Safety Information

This appliance is intended for household use
only.
The length of the cord used on this appliance
was selected to reduce the hazards of becom-
ing 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 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.
