IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

Coffeemaker Safety

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. 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 coffeemaker 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 coffeemaker
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.

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 service number for
information on examination, electrical
repair, mechanical repair, or adjustment.

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

Consumer Safety Information

9. The use of accessory attachments not

recommended by Hamilton Beach/
Proctor-Silex, Inc. may result in fire,
electrical shock or personal injury.

10. Do not use outdoors.

11. The carafe is designed for use with this

coffeemaker. It must never be used on
a range top or in a microwave oven.

12. Do not set a hot carafe on a wet or cold
surface.

13. Do not use a cracked carafe or one
with a loose or weakened handle.

14. Do not clean carafe with cleansers, steel
wool pads, or other abrasive material.

15. Be certain carafe lid is securely in place
during brew cycle and when pouring
coffee. Do not use force when placing
lid on carafe.

16. Do not place coffeemaker on or near a
hot gas or electric burner or in a heated
oven.

17. To disconnect coffeemaker, turn controls
to OFF, then remove plug from wall outlet.

18. 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.

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 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 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.

Carafe Safety Precautions

• Do not use a cracked carafe or a
carafe having a loose or weakened
handle.

• This carafe is designed to be used
only on the Keep-Hot plate of your
coffee-maker. Do not use on a gas
or electric rangetop, or in a
microwave or conventional oven.

• To avoid breakage, handle carafe
with care. Avoid impact. Glass will
break as a result of impact. Use
care when filling with water to avoid
hitting faucet.

• Do not place hot carafe on cool
or wet surface. Allow to cool before
washing or adding liquids.

• Do not set empty carafe on a hot
heating surface.

• Do not clean with steel wool pads,
abrasive cleanser or any other
materials that may scratch.

This symbol reminds you that glass is fragile and can break which could
result in personal injury.

This symbol alerts you to the potential danger for personal injury if you fail
to read and follow these safety precautions.

To replace the lid, put one side of the
lid hinge on one of the pins, then snap
onto the other pin.

• Do not place hands inside carafe.
When handling, be careful if wearing
any hand jewelry, especially diamond
rings. Jewelry can scratch the
glass, which increases the possibility
of breakage.

• Do not bump, scratch, or boil dry.

• Discard carafe if it is cracked,
scratched, or heated while empty
for an extended period of time.

• To avoid accidents, do not pour in
the direction of people.

• If stirring in the carafe, use only
wooden, plastic, or rubber utensils.
Do not use metal utensils.

• Follow the above safety precautions
carefully to avoid serious burn injuries
which may result if breakage occurs
while carafe holds heated liquids.
