mitts when handling hot material, and allow metal parts to cool before
cleaning. Allow the bread maker to cool thoroughly before putting in or
taking off parts.

3. When unit is not in use and before cleaning, unplug the bread maker

from wall outlet. Let the bread maker cool down thoroughly before
assembling or disassembling it.

4. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not immerse the appliance
or plugs in water or other liquids.

used near children or incapacitated persons.

where people may walk or trip on it. Unplug this bread maker from the
wall outlet before you go out for a trip or long excursion.

7. Do not operate this or any appliance with a frayed or damaged cord, or
plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or has been dam­aged in any manner. Take appliance to the nearest authorized service
facility for examination, repair or electrical or mechanical adjustment.

8. Do not let the cord dangle over the edge of a table or counter or touch
hot surfaces. Do not place on an unsteady or cloth-covered surface.

9. Avoid contact with moving parts.

10. Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer. They
may cause fire, electric shock or injury.

11. Do not use outdoors or for commercial purposes.

SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised
in their use.

If a long extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the
extension cord must be at least as great as the electrical rating of the
appliance, and the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not
drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be tripped over or
pulled on by children.

NOTICE

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
To reduce the risk of electric shock, 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. Do not modify the plug in any way.

INTRODUCTION

Nothing says "home" like warm, just-baked bread. With your new automatic
bread maker, all you have to do is add ingredients and select the time you'd
like Cuisinart to start the process. We mix it, knead it, let it rise, and bake
it. We've included lots of bread recipes, as well as recipes for pastries and
jams. You'll discover you've bought yourself much more than a beadmaker!
