For household use only. Do not use the Jet-Stream OvenTM for other than intended use. 2. Do not touch hot surfaces. 3. Do not place on or near hot electric or gas burners, or in heated oven. 4. To protect against electrical hazards do not immerse the fan assembly, cord or plug in water or other liquid. Do not use outdoors. 5. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. 6. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on and taking off parts. 7. Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces may break off of the pad and touch electrical parts, creating risk of electric shock. 8. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, after the appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment. 9. Use Accessory attachments recommended by the appliance manufacturer only. 10. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces. 11. Use extreme caution when removing hot trays or racks, also when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids. 12. Always plug cord into the wall outlet before turning the machine on. To disconnect, turn switch to "OFF" before removing plug from wall outlet. 13. This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature. 14. If you have a countertop made of glass, Corian® or stone, set your Jet-Stream Oven on a cutting board, hot pad or trivet when cooking. The heat generated from some cooking appliances may damage these types of counter tops. Short Cord InstructionsA short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.
