taken, as burns can occur from touching hot parts or from

3. To protect against electric shock, do not place cord, plug or tea
maker 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 tea maker is not in use and
before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off
parts and before cleaning the appliance.
6. Tea maker 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 an accessory not evaluated for use with this appliance 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 pitcher is designed for use with this tea maker. It must never
be used on a range top or in a microwave oven.
12. Do not use a cracked pitcher or one with a loose or weakened
handle.
13. Do not clean pitcher with cleansers, steel wool pads, or other
abrasive cleaners.
14. Be certain pitcher lid is securely in place during brew cycle and
when pouring tea. Do not use force when placing lid on pitcher.
15. Do not place tea maker on or near a hot gas or electric burner or
in a heated oven.
16. To disconnect tea maker, remove plug from wall outlet.
17. 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.
18. 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 tea maker. 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 tea maker.
Warning: To reduce the risk of injury from hot steam, do not plug in
the tea maker until water is in the brew tower and the pitcher is in
place.
To stop the brew cycle, unplug the tea maker.
Avoid contact with brew tower spout and pitcher lid area; they
become hot and steamy during and after the brew cycle.
Do not operate the tea maker unless the lid is securely attached to
the pitcher and the pitcher is properly placed in brew tray against
the brew tower.
Do not move the tea maker during or immediately after the brew
cycle as steam may escape. Wait until the tea maker has cooled
before moving.
