Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance. • Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. If you experience any problems with your appliance, unplug it immediately from the electrical outlet. For service information see warranty page. • The use of accessory attachments not recommended by West Bend may cause fire, electric shock, or injury to persons. • Do not use this appliance outdoors. • Do not let cord hang over the edge of a table or counter or touch hot surfaces. • Do not place on or near a hot gas or electrical burner, or in a heated oven. • To disconnect, turn any control to "OFF," then remove plug from wall outlet. • Do not use appliance for other than intended use. • This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way. • A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. • Longer, detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. While use of an extension cord is not recommended, if you must use one, the marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord. The cord should be arranged so that it will not hang over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled by children or tripped over. • Do not remove any part of the coffeemaker during the brew cycle as scalding could occur. • Do not move an appliance containing hot water, coffee or other hot liquids. • Do not refill the water reservoir while the appliance is on. Allow the appliance to turn off and cool before refilling with water. English - 2
