A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce

longer cord.

Extension cords are available and may be used if
care is exercised in their use.

If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical
rating of the extension cord should be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and
the cord should be arranged so it will not drape

tripped over or pulled on by children.

NOTICE

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.

UNPACKING

cardboard insert. Now remove the carafe from the
coffee maker. Carefully lift the coffee maker from
the remaining inserts. Remove the plastic bag from
the coffee maker. We suggest you save all packing
materials in the event that future shipping of the
machine is needed. Keep all plastic bags
away from children.
