entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Longer extension cords are available and
may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If a long extension cord is used, the marked
electrical rating of the extension cord must
be at least as great as the electrical rating of
the appliance, and the longer cord should be
arranged so that it will not drape over the

plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician.
Do not modify the plug in any way.

coffee in the filter basket can occur under
any or a combination of any of the following
conditions: The use of too finely ground

filter or not properly cleaning coffee grounds
from the gold tone filter, or allowing coffee
grounds to spill over the filter.
Caution: Never open the filter basket during
the brewing cycle, even if no water is
draining from the filter basket, since
