SPECIAL CORD SET
INSTRUCTIONS
A short power-supply cord is provided to
reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Extension cords may be used if care is
exercised in their use.
If an 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 countertop or
tabletop where it can be pulled on by children
or tripped over.
NOTICE
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of
electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully
in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not
fit, contact a qualified electrician.
Do not modify the plug in any way.
OPERATING NOTICE
Clogging and backing up of water and/or
coffee in the filter basket can occur under
any or a combination of any of the following
conditions: The use of too finely ground coffee,
using two or more paper filters, using the goldtone filter in conjunction with a paper 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 top cover during the
brewing cycle, even if no water is draining
from the filter basket, since extremely hot
water/coffee can spill out from the filter basket
and cause injury. If water/coffee is not draining
from the filter basket during the brewing cycle,
unplug the unit and wait 10 minutes before
opening the top cover and checking the
filter basket.
