POLARIZED PLUG (120V Models Only)

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW Warning : This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent removal of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not attempt to remove the outer cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Repair should

be done only

by authorized service personnel.

ELECTRICAL CORD

a) A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to be provided

to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

b) Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and

may be used if care is exercised in their use.

c) If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used,

1) The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance,

2) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and

3) The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

Note: If the power supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced by qualified personnel or in Latin America by an authorized service center.

USING YOUR PERFECT POUR

THERMAL CARAFE

• For best performance, rinse the carafe with warm water before brewing. This brings up

the temperature and improves the carafe's thermal properties.

• The carafe spout is specially designed to deliver a dripless pour so you can serve coffee

without any messy drips.

• Coffee is brewed directly through the carafe brew-thru lid. Always check that lid is

properly in place when brewing. Coffee may overflow if lid is not properly in place. See instructions in "Ready to Brew Coffee" section.

Care and Cleaning

This appliance contains no user-serviceable parts. Refer service to qualified service personnel.
