IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

1. Read all instructions.

2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs. Care must be
taken, as burns can occur from touching hot parts or from spilled,
hot liquid.

3. To protect against fire, electric shock, and injury to persons do not
immerse cord, plug or any part of the percolator in water or other
liquid.

4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or
near children.

5. Unplug from outlet when the percolator is not in use and before
cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts and
before cleaning the appliance.

6. Percolator must be operated on a flat surface away from the edge
of counter to prevent accidental tipping.

7. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or
after the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in
any manner. Call our toll-free customer assistance number for
information on examination, repair, or adjustment.

8. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the
appliance manufacturer may result in fire, electrical shock or
injury to persons.

9. Do not use outdoors.

10. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot
surfaces, including the stove.

11. Twist-off lid must be securely in place during perk cycle and when
serving coffee. See instructions on page 3 for more information.

12. Scalding may occur if the lid is removed during the brew cycle.

13. Do not place percolator on or near a hot gas or electric burner or
in a heated oven.

14. Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug cord into wall outlet.
To disconnect percolator, remove plug from wall outlet, then
unplug from percolator.

15. WARNING! To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not
remove the bottom cover. No user serviceable parts are inside.
Repair should be done by authorized service personnel only.

16. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

When using electric appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION

This appliance is intended for household use only.
WARNING! Shock Hazard: If the plug on this appliance does not fit

in your outlet, do not modify the plug, and do not use an adaptor.
Have an electrician replace the obsolete outlet.

To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another high
wattage appliance on the same circuit with your percolator.

The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce
the hazards of becoming tangled in, or tripping over, a longer cord. If
a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be
used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or
greater than the rating of the appliance. Care must be taken to
arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the counter­top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally
tripped over.

NOTE: We recommend using
coffee that has been ground
specifically for use in a
percolator-type coffee maker.

All Coffee Makers” is acceptable.

If using a coffee grinder and
whole beans, percolator coffee
should be a coarse grind. A
finely ground coffee may cause
the coffee basket to overflow.
