WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard:

This appliance is provided with a polarized plug (one wide blade) to reduce the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug.

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 appliance. 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.

Troubleshooting

What size chicken will the oven handle?

The oven will hold a 5-pound (2.3-kg) chicken.

When should I choose BAKE, BROIL, or CONVECTION?

• Choose Bake [Bake Mode Icon] for foods such as roasts, potatoes, or cakes.
• Choose Broil [Broil Mode Icon] to brown foods such as beef, chicken, fish, pork, and casseroles.
• Choose CONVECTION for any baked or roasted recipe. Baking will be 25% faster when using this function; check food for doneness well before recipe recommends.

If I want to toast bread, what setting is best?

The Toast [Toast Mode Icon] mode is best for toasting both sides of sliced breads. You can also use the Broil [Broil Mode Icon] mode for open-faced sandwiches, baguettes, and crostini. The Broil [Broil Mode Icon] mode activates the top heating element and is great when toasting is required on one side only. You can also flip the bread when the desired level of browning is reached.
