IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

 

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electrical 
shock and/or injury to persons including the following: 

 

Read all instructions before using. 

 

Do not touch hot surfaces.   Use handles or knobs.  Always use potholders or oven mitts to handle hot bread pan or hot 
bread. 

 

Do not put hand inside oven chamber after bread pan is removed. Heating unit will still be hot. 

 

To protect against electrical shock, do not place cord, plug or appliance in water or other liquid. 

 

Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. 

 

Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning.  Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts and before 
cleaning appliance. 

 

Avoid contacting moving parts. 

 

Do not operate appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any 
manner. Return appliance to The West Bend Company for examination, repair or adjustment. 

 

The use of accessory attachments not recommended by The West Bend Company may result in fire, electrical shock or 
personal injury. 

 

Do not use outdoors. 

 

Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces. 

 

Do not place appliance on or near a hot gas or electrical burner, or in a heated oven. 

 

Do not use appliance for other than intended use. 

 

To disconnect power, press stop button to turn control off then remove plug from wall outlet.  Never pull on the cord. 

 

Extreme caution must be used when moving appliance during operation. 

 

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - 

Your bread maker needs no special care other than cleaning. If servicing 

becomes necessary, return your bread maker to The West Bend Company.  See Warranty section in this booklet for service 
details. Do not attempt to repair it yourself.

  For Household Use Only. 

An off odor from motor may be noted with first 

use, which is normal and will disappear with use. 
 

Electric Cord Statement - 

CAUTION:

  

Your bread maker has a short cord as a safety precaution to prevent personal 

injury or property damage resulting from pulling, tripping or becoming entangled with the cord. Do not allow children to be 
near or use this bread maker without close adult supervision.  If you must use a longer cord set or an extension cord when 
using the bread maker, the cord must be arranged so it will not drape or hang over the edge of a countertop or tabletop, 
where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally. To prevent electric shock, personal injury or fire, the 
electrical rating of the extension cord you use must be the same or more than the wattage of the bread maker (wattage is 
stamped on underside of bread maker). 

 

Important Safety Instructions - 

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. Never use with an extension cord unless plug can be fully inserted.  Do not 
attempt to defeat this safety feature. Your West Bend® Bread & Dough Maker was designed for use with 120 volt, 60 Hz 
electrical service ONLY.  Use of your bread & dough maker with a converter or transformer will destroy the electronic 
control and will void your warranty 
 

TO PREVENT PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, READ AND FOLLOW THE 
INSTRUCTIONS AND/OR WARNINGS IN THIS CARE/USE INSTRUCTIONAL MANUAL. 

 

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON PROTECTING ELECTRONIC CONTROL - 

To Protect bread 

maker’s electronic control against possible damage caused by surges in electrical power line, we recommend using a surge 
protector device, available in the electronics department of most discount/hardware stores.  Simply plug surge protector into 
electrical outlet, then plug bread maker cord into receptacle of surge protector.
