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 the coffeemaker 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 has been damaged in any manner. Call our toll-free technical service number for information on examination or adjustment. 8. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may result in fire, electrical shock, or personal injury. 9. Do not use outdoors. 10. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces, including stove. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven. 11. Do not use appliance for other than intended use. 12. WARNING! To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not remove the bottom cover of the coffeemaker. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done by authorized service personnel only. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS 2 OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION WARNING! Shock Hazard: If the plug on this appliance does not fit in your outlet, do not modify the plug and do not use an adaptor. Have an electrician replace the obsolete 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 and 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 a high-wattage appliance on the same circuit with the coffeemaker. NOTE: For best results, allow the coffeemaker to cool for one minute between brewing cycles. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard. 3
