The length of the cord used on this appli-
ance 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
roaster 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.

some foods faster than a conventional oven.
