TO PREVENT PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, READ AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS AND

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 electronic department of most discount/hardware stores. Simply plug surge protector into the electrical outlet, then plug bread maker cord into receptacle of surge protector.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS- When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, property damage, electrical shock and/or personal injury, 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 electric 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.

•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, counter or surface area, 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. 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. WARNING: To prevent personal injury or property damage caused by fire, always unplug this and other appliances when not in 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 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 is 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® Automatic Bread & Dough Maker was designed for use with 120 volt, 60 hz electrical service ONLY. Use of your bread and dough maker with a converter or transformer will destroy the electronic control and will void your warranty.
