WARNING

TO AVOID DAMAGE OF, OR INJURY FROM DECANTER,

FOLLOW THESE PRECAUTIONS:

•Do not set a hot decanter on a wet or cold surface.

•Do not place hot decanter on or near paper, cloth or other flammable material.

•Never use the decanter on a range top or in a microwave oven.

•Do not allow liquid to evaporate from decanter. Do not heat decanter when empty.

•Do not move entire unit when decanter contains hot liquid.

•Use the lid on the decanter while brewing and pouring coffee.

•Discard decanter if damaged in any manner, or if the decanter has a loose or weakened handle.

•Do not clean decanter with scouring powders, steel wool pads or other abrasive materials.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not remove any service covers. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the coffeemaker. Only authorized personnel should repair the coffeemaker.

Special Cord Set Instructions

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from entanglement or tripping over a longer cord.

•An extension cord may be used if care is exercised in its use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The extension cord should be arranged so that it does not drape over the counter or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally. The electrical rating of the coffeemaker is listed on the bottom panel of the unit.

•This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug.

If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.
