Important safety instructions
The use of any electrical appliance requires the
following of basic common sense safety rules.
Primarily there is danger of personal injury and
secondly the danger of damage to property and the
appliance. These are indicated in the text by the
following two conventions:
WARNING: Danger of personal injury
IMPORTANT: Damage to the appliance
In addition we offer the following essential safety
advice.
Location
• Always locate your appliance away from the edge of
a worktop.
• Ensure that the appliance is used on a firm, flat
surface.
• Do not use outdoors.
Mains lead
•The mains lead should reach from the socket to the
base unit without straining the connections.
•Do not let the mains lead hang over the edge of a
worktop where a child could reach it.
•Do not let the lead run across an open space e.g.
between a low socket and table.
•Do not let the lead run across a cooker or toaster or
other hot area which might damage the cable.
Your safety
•WARNING: Do not touch hot surfaces. Use oven
mitts or oven gloves when removing the hot bread
pan. Do not cover the steam vent openings under
any circumstances.
•WARNING: Avoid contact with moving parts.
•To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse
cord or plug in water or other liquid.
•Extreme caution must be observed when moving an
appliance with hot contents.
•Do not use breadmaker for storage purposes nor
insert any utensils, as they may create a fire or
electric shock hazard.
•Do not use the appliance with wet or moist hands.
Children
Never allow a child to operate this appliance.
Children are vulnerable in the kitchen particularly when
unsupervised and if appliances are being used or
cooking is being carried out.
Teach children to be aware of dangers in the
kitchen, warn them of the dangers of reaching up to
areas where they cannot see properly or should not be
reaching.
Other safety considerations
•If the mains lead of this appliance is damaged do
not use it. The lead may only be replaced by Belling
Ltd or an agent of the company, since special
purpose tools are required. Telephone our helpline
for advice.
•The use of accessory attachments not
recommended by the manufacturer may cause
damage to the breadmaker.
•Do not place the appliance on or near heat sources
such as gas or electric stove ovens, or burners.
•To avoid damaging the appliance, do not place the
baking pan or any object on top of the unit.
•Do not clean with scouring pads. Do not wash the
baking pan, kneading blade measuring cup or
spoon in a dishwasher.
•Keep the appliance and the cable away from heat,
direct sunlight, moisture and sharp edges.
•The baking pan must be in place prior to switching
on the appliance.
•Always remove the plug from the socket whenever
the machine is not in use, when attaching
accessory parts, cleaning the machine or whenever
a disturbance occurs. Pull on the plug, not the
cable.
