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
or knobs. Care must be taken, as burns
can occur from touching hot parts or
from spilled, hot liquid.
3. To protect against fire, electric shock,
and injury to persons, do not immerse
cord, plug, or any part of the percolator
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 percolator
is not in use and before cleaning. Allow
to cool before putting on or taking off
parts and before cleaning the appliance.
6. Percolator 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 is dropped
or damaged in any manner. Call our
toll-free customer assistance number
for information on examination, repair,
or adjustment.
8. The use of accessory attachments not
recommended by the appliance manu-
facturer may result in fire, electrical
shock, or injury to persons.

OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION

This appliance is intended for household
use only.
WARNING! Shock Hazard: This product
is provided with either a polarized (one
wide blade) or grounded (3-prong) plug
to reduce the risk of electric shock. The
plug fits only one way into a polarized or
grounded 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.

9. Do not use outdoors.
10. Do not let cord hang over edge of
table or counter or touch hot surfaces,
including the stove.
11. Lid must be securely in place during
perk cycle and when serving coffee.
See "Using the Percolator" for more
information.
12. Scalding may occur if the lid is
removed during the brew cycle.
13. Do not place percolator on or near
a hot gas or electric burner or in a
heated oven.
14. To disconnect percolator, turn any
control to OFF (O) and then remove
plug from wall outlet. Never pull on
the cord to remove the plug from an
outlet as this can damage the cord and
cause a risk of fire and electric shock.
15. WARNING! To reduce the risk of fire
or electric shock, do not remove the
bottom cover. No user-serviceable
parts are inside. Repair should be done
by authorized service personnel only.
16. Do not use appliance for other than
intended use.
The length of the cord used on this appli-
ance 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. If the appliance is of the
grounded type, the extension cord 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 another high-wattage appliance on
the same circuit with your percolator.
