Other Consumer Safety Information
This product is intended for household use only.w WARNING
 Electrical Shock Hazard: This product 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. If it still does not fit, have an electrician 
replace the outlet. 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 counter-
top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally 
tripped over.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another high-
wattage appliance on the same circuit with your breadmaker.

before putting on or taking off parts, or before cleaning the appliance.
 8. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or 
after the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in 
any manner. Call our toll-free customer service number for 
information on examination, repair, or adjustment. 9. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the 
appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
