SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

THIS APPLIANCE IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.

NOTE:
A. A short power cord is provided to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over it.
B. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.
C. When an extension cord is used:
(1) the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical
rating of the appliance, and
(2) the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop
where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

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. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

■When using your own recipes:

• Please note that we cannot guarantee the results of recipes not included in these Operating Instructions or the Recipe
Book including changes made to the amount of ingredients or ingredient substitutions. This also applies to the
HOMEMADE course in which the cycle times can be changed.
• Be careful in the following situations as doing so may overload the motor. An overloaded motor will cause a malfunction.
•The amount of moisture is reduced .
•The amount of flour is increased.
• Placing large, hard ingredients in the Baking Pan may damage the nonstick coating of the Baking Pan and Kneading
Blades.
• Using milk and eggs as a substitute for water will darken the crust color and the results may not be satisfactory.
• Using a lot of sugar will darken the crust color.
• Using raw fruits with strong enzymes that break down proteins such as fig, kiwifruit, pineapple, etc., will cause the bread to
not rise well.

measured incorrectly. For more information, please refer to "TIPS ON MAKING
BREAD" (-+ P. 10).
