Don't put combustible or flammable material in the oven. Be sure about this. Play it safe.Don't put tightly sealed or filled containers in this or any other oven. The contents may expand and burst thecontainer.This oven is not designed for use in Class I, II, or III locations as described in the National Electrical Code. Itis not intended, nor shall it be used as a patient-connected device as described in Article 517 of the NationalElectrical Code.3.0 POWER SUPPLYA prime cause of poor oven performance is an inadequate power source. Before installing your oven,inspect its proposed power supply. When the oven is operating at full draw, voltage at its terminals must beno lower than 10% below its nameplate voltage and preferable no lower than 5% below.The best arrangement, if at all possible, is to energize the oven from a receptacle that is on a branch circuitof its own, no other receptacles being on the same branch. In the best installation, voltage at this receptaclewill drop no more than 5% when the oven is switched on full.If you are using a receptacle that shares a branch circuit with several other receptacles, the oven may workjust fine until someone plugs a hot plate into one of the other receptacles. Then the circuit breaker may trip,and the oven will go cold.AVOID EXTENSION CORDSUse of extension cords, particularly stringy, abraded ones are dangerous. They also cause added voltagedrop and violate most electrical codes. It is best not to use them at all.POWER REQUIREMENTS
