Steam may escape from the steeping/brew basket while the appliance is cooling. • DO NOT place a tablecloth or other fabric underneath the appliance or otherwise restrict airflow beneath it. • DO NOT jerk or pull on the power cord when unplugging the appliance, grasp the molded plug to unplug it. • Never reheat a beverage by passing it through the appliance's brewing system. • DO NOT immerse the appliance in water.

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from a person or pet becoming entangled in, or tripping over, a longer cord. 2. An extension cord may be purchased and used if care is exercised in its use. 3. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord must be at least 10 amps and 120 volts. The resulting extended cord must be arranged so that it will not drape over a countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally. This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS 2
