IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

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, repair, or
adjustment.
8. The use of accessory attachments not
recommended by the appliance manu-
facturer may cause injuries.
9. Use only the carafe provided with the
appliance.
10. Do not use outdoors.

OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION

This product is intended for household
use only.
WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance
has a polarized plug (one wide blade) that
reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug
fits only one way into a polarized outlet.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
plug by modifying the plug in any way or
by using an adapter. If the plug does not
fit, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
have an electrician replace the outlet.

coffeemaker. It must never be used on
a range top or in a microwave oven.

cold surface.
14. Do not use a cracked carafe or one
with loose or weakened handle.
15. Do not clean carafe with cleansers,
steel wool pads, or other abrasive
materials.

17. Do not place coffeemaker on or near
a hot gas or electric burner or in a
heated oven.
18. To disconnect coffeemaker, turn con-
trols to OFF and then remove plug

19. 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.
20. 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 appliance. 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.
