IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

BrewStation™Safety

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 electric shock, do
not place cord, plug or BrewStation in
water or other liquid.

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

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

6. BrewStation 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 toll­free customer service number for
information on examination, repair, or
adjustment.

Consumer Safety Information

8. The use of accessory attachments not

recommended by Hamilton Beach/
Proctor-Silex, Inc. may cause injuries.

9. Do not use outdoors.

10. Do not let cord hang over edge of table

or counter or touch hot surfaces,
including stove.

11. The coffee tank is designed for use with
this BrewStation. It must never be used
on a range top or in a microwave oven.

12. Do not place BrewStation on or near a
hot gas or electric burner or in a heated
oven.

13. To disconnect BrewStation, turn
controls to OFF, then remove plug
from wall outlet.

14. Scalding may occur if the cover is lifted
during the brewing cycle.

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.

This appliance is intended for household
use only.

This appliance is equipped with a polarized
plug. This type of plug has one blade wider
than the other. The plug will fit into an
electrical outlet only one way. This is a
safety feature intended to help reduce the
risk of electrical shock. If you are unable to
insert the plug into the outlet, try reversing
the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit,
contact a qualified electrician to replace the
obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat
the safety purpose of the polarized plug by
modifying the plug in any way.

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
BrewStation. 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.

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

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:
