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.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another high
wattage appliance on the same circuit with your coffeemaker.
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 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.
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. 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 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 loose or weakened
handle.
14. Do not clean carafe with cleansers, steel wool pads, or other
abrasive material.

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 coffeemaker. 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.
• 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 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.
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.
