IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Before using the bread-maker, please read the following instructions carefully.
●
The surface of the housing and the steam vents heat up during operation. Do not touch any hot
parts of the unit. Be sure to use an oven-cloth or suitable gloves when removing the bread.
Make sure to touch only the lid handle when opening the unit.
●
The bread-maker should only be connected to an earthed socket installed in accordance with the
regulations. Make sure that the supply voltage corresponds with the voltage marked on the rating
label.

Always remove the plug from the wall socket after use, and also
- in case of any malfunction during use,
- when removing the baking-tin,
- during cleaning of the appliance.
●
When removing the plug from the wall socket, never pull on the power cord; always grasp the
plug itself. Do not let the power cord hang free; keep it well away from any hot parts of the
appliance.
●
Before the appliance is used, the main body including the power cord as well as any fitted
attachment should be checked thoroughly for any defects. Should the appliance, for instance,
have been dropped onto a hard surface, it must not be used any longer: even invisible damage
may have adverse effects on the operational safety of the appliance.
●
Remove any exterior and interior packaging materials. All these materials are suitable for
recycling.

Caution: keep any packaging materials well away from children, as they are a potential source of
danger e.g. from suffocation.
