SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug—one blade is wider than the other. As
a safety feature, this plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the
plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse it and try again. If it still does
not fit, contact an electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
SOFT-GRIP HANDLES
NOTE: The rubberized handles are free of natural rubber and latex. They
are safe for use by individuals allergic or sensitive to these materials.
TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW
This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent
removal of the bottom cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock,
do not attempt to remove the bottom cover. There are no user serviceable
parts inside. Repair should be done only by authorized service personnel.
ELECTRICAL CORD
The cord length of this Coffeemaker was selected to reduce safety hazards
that may occur with a longer cord. If more cord length is needed, an
extension cord with a polarized plug may be used. It should be rated not
less than 10 amperes, 120 Volts, and have Underwriters Laboratories
listing. When using a longer cord, be sure it does not drape over a
working area or dangle where it could be pulled on or tripped over.
Handle cord carefully for longer life; avoid jerking or straining it at outlet
and appliance connections.
WARNING

The lightning symbol refers to “dangerous voltage;” the exclamation symbol
refers to maintenance instructions. See below.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not remove the cover of
