Important Safeguards for Electrical Appliances
The appliance is heated electrically. Place the appliance near a suitable wall power socket to
connect the appliance directly to a protected mains power supply with protective conductor
(earth/ground) connected properly. Ensure that the voltage rating of your mains power supply
corresponds to the voltage requirements of the appliance (230-240 V, 50 Hz, AC, rated for at
least 8 A) to avoid interference with other appliances.
The installation of a residual current operated circuit breaker (r.c.c.b.) with a maximum rated
residual operating current of 30 mA in the supplying electrical circuit is strongly recommen-
ded. If in doubt, contact your electrician for further information.
In various foreign countries, the specifications for power supplies are subject to incompatible
norms. Therefore it is possible that power supplies in foreign countries do not meet the requi-
rements for safe operation of the appliance. Thus, before operating the appliance abroad,
ensure that safe operation is possible.
• Do not use any desk top multi socket outlet, external timer, or remote control systems
It is best to avoid using an extension cord, but if you wish to use one, only use an extension
cord rated for a maximum continuous current of at least 8 A with safety plug and safety
coupler plug and protective conductor (earth/ground) connected properly. Additionally, the
extension cord must be of sufficient length.
Always ensure that no one will step on power cords or gets entangled or trip over power
cords. Also, ensure that no tension is applied to any part of the power cords. Tie the extension
cord loosely onto the leg of the table using a separate cord, to ensure that no one will pull the
power cord. To connect: always connect the appliance to the extension cord first. To discon-
nect: Always unplug the extension cord from the power supply first.
• Always handle power cords with care. The pins of the power plug must be smooth and
clean. Always completely unwind the power cord before use. Do not place the appliance on
a power cord. Power cords may never be knotted, twisted, pulled, strained or squeezed. Do
not let the plug or power cord hang over the edge of the table or counter. The power cord may
not touch hot surfaces or sharp edges. Ensure that no one will pull the appliance by the power
cord. Take care not to entangle in the power cord. Always grasp the plug to disconnect the
power cord. Do not touch the appliance or power plug with wet hands when the appliance is
connected to the power supply.
• DO NOT drip or spill any liquids on or in the housing or power cord. Always ensure that
the exterior of the bread pan is clean and dry before placing the bread pan on/in the heating
compartment. Otherwise liquid could run into the housing, causing risk of electric shock or
fire. Do not immerse the appliance or power cord in water or other liquids. Do not pour or
spill any liquids on/in the housing or power cord. Do not place the appliance on wet surfaces.
When liquids overflowed or are spilled on the housing or power cord, immediately unplug
the appliance. Thereafter, clean the appliance and, leaving the lid open, let it dry for at least
1 day. (See: ›Care and Cleaning‹) Do not clean the appliance in an automatic dishwasher.
High Temperatures – Risk of Burns
The Design Bread Maker Plus is designed for baking bread and cakes and making jam and
yoghurt in a household environment. For this purpose, the appliance is heated electrically.
Thus, improper handling could cause severe injuries and damage. Please keep this in mind to
avoid scalds and damage.
• Except for the containing food, the lid, bread pan, and exterior of the appliance can get very
hot during operation and thereafter.
