IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS When using electric appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, 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 fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, do not immerse cord, plug, or any part of the percolator in water or other liquid. 4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. 5. Unplug from outlet when the percolator is not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning the appliance. 6. Percolator 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 assistance number for information on examination, repair, or adjustment. 8. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may result in fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons. 9. Do not use outdoors. 10. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces, including the stove. 11. Twist-off lid must be securely in place during perk cycle and when serving coffee.

Other Consumer Safety Information This appliance is intended for household use only. WARNING! Shock Hazard: This product is provided with either a polarized (one wide blade) or grounded (3-prong) plug to reduce the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized or grounded 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 fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet. 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 appliance. If the appliance is of the grounding type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type, 3-wire cord. 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 highwattage appliance on the same circuit with this appliance. 2 840223300 ENv04.indd 2 12/13/12 4:30 PM
