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

not place cord, plug or coffeemaker in
water or other liquid.

is not in use and before cleaning. Allow
to cool before putting on or taking off
parts and before cleaning the appliance.
6. Coffeemaker must be operated on a flat
surface away from the edge of counter
to prevent accidental tipping.

damaged cord or plug, or after the
appliance malfunctions or is dropped
or damaged in any manner. Call our

19. 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 elecÂtrical 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 cofÂfeemaker. 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.
