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 counter-top, tabletop or surface area where it can be pulled on by children 
or tripped over.  To prevent electrical 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 backside 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.

ONLY

.  Use of 

your bread and dough maker with a converter or transformer will destroy the electronic control and will void your warranty.
