Other Consumer Safety Information This appliance 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 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. 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 your appliance. Carafe Safety Precautions This symbol alerts you to the potential danger for personal injury if you fail to read and follow these 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 warming 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. This symbol reminds you that glass is fragile and can break which could result in personal injury. • 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 the 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. 3 840239200 ENv08.indd 3 3/12/14 11:08 AM
