This has been a faithful workhorse for several years- however, it is a bit scruffy and the sheath on the flex was cut somehow (see photo). I put tape around the cut and there were never any issues. There’s a pdf manual online: http://www.breadmachinedigest.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/sd253-book.pdf
Based on recent experiences I may not be able to reply to everyone, sorry, and it might take me until Monday to offer. Thank you for understanding.
