When using electrical appliances, basic safety
precautions should always be followed to
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and/or
injury to persons, including the following:

1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

2. Always unplug from outlet when not

in use and before cleaning. Allow to
cool before putting on or taking off
parts and before cleaning the
appliance.

3. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles
and knobs.

4. To protect against electric shock, do not
place cord, plug, or base unit in water or
other liquids.

5. This appliance should not be used by

12. Do not use appliance for other than

18. Do not operate your appliance in an
appliance garage or under a wall

garage or the door touches the unit as it
closes.

SPECIAL CORD SET
INSTRUCTIONS

A short power-supply cord on the power base
is provided to reduce the risks resulting from
becoming 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 should 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 animals or tripped over.

NOTICE

This appliance is of the grounded type; the
extension cord should be a grounded type
3-wire cord. If the plug does not fit contact a
qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in

any way.

INTRODUCTION

Congratulations! You’ve just purchased a
little piece of nostalgia that makes a great
cup of coffee.

Cuisinart’s percolator lets you make 4 to 12
cups (1 to 3 L) of rich, flavourful brewed
coffee in just minutes. And we made it
cordless so you can take the pot right to the
table with you. The classic stainless steel
design helps keep coffee warm, and the
stay-cool bottom means you can set it down
almost anywhere without a worry.

So, prepare a pot, listen to the friendly
“perk”, and watch it brew right through the
transparent knob on the cover. When the
ready light comes on, sit down, relax, and
enjoy a cup of coffee.

Like all Cuisinart
was designed to give you years of
satisfaction and is backed by a three-year
limited warranty.
