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).

Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
