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 and knobs. 3. To protect against electric shock, do not place cord, plug, or base in water or other liquids. 4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. 5. Always unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning the appliance. 6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest Cuisinart Repair Centre for examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment. 7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by Cuisinart may cause injuries. 8. Do not use outdoors. 9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch any hot surface. 10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven. 11. Always fill water reservoir first, then plug cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn controls to off, then remove plug from wall outlet. 12. Do not use appliance for other than intended use. 13. Snap lid securely onto carafe before serving any beverages. 14. Scalding may occur if the lid is removed during the brewing cycle. 15. The glass carafe is designed for use with appliance base only. It must never be used on the range top. 16. Do not set a hot carafe on a wet or cold surface. 17. Do not use a cracked carafe or a carafe having a loose or weakened handle. 18. Do not clean carafe or warming plate with cleansers, steel wool pads, or other abrasive materials. 19. WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE THE BASE PANEL. NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS ARE INSIDE. REPAIR SHOULD BE DONE ONLY BY AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL. 20. Avoid contact with moving parts. WARNING: RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated dangerous voltage within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of fire or electric shock to persons. The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance. 2 SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a long extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord must be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over. NOTICE 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. OPERATING NOTICE Clogging and backing up of water and/or coffee in the filter basket can occur under any or a combination of any of the following conditions: The use of too finely ground coffee, using two or more paper filters, using the gold tone filter in conjunction with a paper filter or not properly cleaning coffee grounds from the gold tone filter, or allowing coffee grounds to spill over the filter. Caution: Never open the reservoir cover during the brewing cycle, even if no water is draining from the filter basket, since extremely hot water/ coffee can spill out from the basket and cause injury. If water/coffee is not draining from the filter basket during the brewing cycle, unplug the unit and wait 10 minutes before opening the reservoir cover and checking the basket. IMPORTANT UNPACKING INSTRUCTIONS 1. Place the box on a large, sturdy, flat surface. 2. Remove the instruction book and any other literature. 3. Turn the box so that the back side of the coffeemaker is down and slide the coffeemaker from the box. 4. After the coffeemaker has been removed, place the box out of the way and remove the top and bottom two polyfoam inserts. 5. Grasp the carafe by its handle, remove it from the heater plate and remove the polybag. 3
