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:

■ Read all instructions.

■ 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.

other liquid.

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

■ Unplug from outlet when either the coffeemaker or clock is not in use and before

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

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

■ 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

WARNING

Shock Hazard

• Do not immerse this appliance in water or other liquid.

• This appliance has a polarized plug (one wide blade) that reduces the
risk of electrical shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any

way or using an adaptor. If the plug does not fit, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.

OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION

This appliance is intended for household use only.

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 coffeemaker. 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.

tablespoon of medium-ground automatic drip coffee into filter.
