IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic
safety precautions should always be fol-
lowed 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 cof-
feemaker 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, repair, or
adjustment.
8. The use of accessory attachments not
recommended by Hamilton Beach/
Proctor-Silex, Inc. may result in fire,
electrical shock or personal injury.

tact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to

9. Do not use outdoors.
10. Do not let cord hang over edge of table
or counter or touch hot surfaces, includ-
ing 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 or hot plate with
cleansers, steel wool pads, or other
abrasive material.
15. Be certain carafe lid is securely in place
during brew cycle and when pouring cof-
fee. Do not use force when placing lid on
carafe.
16. To disconnect coffeemaker, turn controls
to OFF, then remove plug from wall outlet.
17. Do not place coffeemaker on or near a
hot gas or electric burner or in a heated
oven.
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 autho-
rized service personnel only.
19. Do not use appliance for other than
intended use.
The length of the cord used on this appli-
ance 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.
