the cord. Do not allow children to be near or use this coffeemaker without close supervision.

must be arranged so it will not drape or hang over the edge of the countertop, tabletop or
surface area where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over. To prevent electric shock,
personal injury or fire, the electrical rating of the extension cord you use must be the same or
more than the wattage of the coffeemaker (wattage is stamped on underside of coffeemaker).
