IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

The Elite Brand takes consumer safety very seriously. Products are designed and manufactured with our valued consumers' safety in mind. Additionally, we ask that you exercise a level of caution when using any electrical appliance by following all instructions and important safeguards.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE AND SAVE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed as below:

Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
Clean parts before first use.
Remove all packaging plastics and other materials from the unit before operating.
Wash all removable accessories before using for the first time.
To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plug or appliance itself in water or other liquids.
Close supervision is necessary when appliance is used by or near children.
Unplug from the electrical outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment.
The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
Do not let cord hang over tables or counters or touch hot surfaces.
Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug cord into wall outlet. To disconnect, turn all controls to the OFF position, grasp plug body and remove from the electrical outlet. Do not pull by the cord.
Do not use outdoors.
Oversized foods or metal utensils must not be inserted in the appliance as they may cause a fire or increase the risk of an electrical shock.
A fire may occur if the appliance is covered by or touching flammable material including curtains, draperies, walls and the like, when in operation.
Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad and touch electrical parts, increasing the risk of electrical shock.
Extreme caution should be exercised when using containers in the oven that are constructed of material other than metal or glass.
Do not store any materials other than the manufacturer's recommended accessories in this oven when it is not in use.
Do not cover any part of the oven with metal foil, as this will cause the oven to overheat.
Do not place paper, cardboard, plastic and the like in the oven.
Do not move product while it is in operation.
Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
Some countertop and table surfaces, such as Corian®, wood and/or laminates, are not designed to withstand prolonged heat generated by certain appliances Place a hot pad or trivet be under your appliance to prevent possible damage to the surface.

SHORT CORD PURPOSE

Note: A short power cord is provided to reduce the risk of personal injury resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a long cord.

Longer power-supply cords or extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If an extension cord is used:

the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the product;
the extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can unintentionally be pulled on or tripped over by children or pets.

POLARIZED PLUG

If this appliance is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other), please follow the below instructions:

shock hazard To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If you are unable to fit the plug into the electrical outlet, try reversing the plug.

If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never use the plug with an extension cord unless the plug can be fully inserted into the extension cord. Do not alter the plug of the product or any extension cord being used with this product. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
THIS PRODUCT IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.

BEFORE FIRST USE

During the first few minutes of initial use you may notice smoke and/or a slight odor. This is normal and should quickly disappear. It will not recur after the appliance has been used a few more times.

Read all of the instruction included in this manual.
Make sure that the oven is unplugged and the Time control is in the "OFF" position.
Wash all the accessories in hot, soapy water or in the dishwasher (top rack).
Thoroughly dry all accessories and re-assemble in oven, plug oven into outlet and you are ready to use your new toaster oven.
After re–assembling your oven, we recommend that you run it at the highest temperature on the toast function for approximately 15 minutes to eliminate any packing residue that may remain after shipping. This will also remove all traces of odor initially present.

information NOTE:

The length of time for toasting bread varies depending on its texture and thickness.
To stop toasting at any time, turn the Timer dial counterclockwise until the "OFF" position is reached.

HOW TO USE

Plug the power cord into a standard 120-volt AC wall outlet.
Turn the Temperature switch to the "toast" position.
Set the Timer switch to the desired toasting position (light, medium, or dark).
After toasting of the bread is complete, the oven bell will sound and the heating elements will shut off.
Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet when cooking is complete or when the toaster oven is not in use.
