What should I do if the bread maker stops working properly during use?

Discontinue using the appliance immediately and unplug it if it stops working properly. Signs of abnormal operation include the power plug or cord becoming abnormally hot, the main body becoming deformed or abnormally hot, or the appliance making abnormal turning noises. You should then consult a Panasonic dealer and have it serviced by an authorized technician. (Page 4)
