Coffeemaker Safety
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 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 either the
coffeemaker or clock 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 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 an accessory not evaluated for

Consumer Safety Information
This appliance is intended for household
use only.
This appliance is equipped with a polarized
plug. This type of plug has one blade wider
than the other. The plug will fit into an
electrical outlet only one way. This is a safety
feature intended to help reduce the risk of
electrical shock. If you are unable to insert
the plug into the outlet, try reversing the
plug. If the plug should still fail to fit,
contact a qualified electrician to replace
the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat
the safety purpose of the polarized plug by
modifying the plug in any way.

10. Do not let cord hang over edge of table
or counter or touch hot surfaces,

a range top or in a microwave oven.
12. Do not set a hot carafe on a wet or cold
surface.
13. Do not use a cracked carafe or one with
a loose or weakened handle.
14. Do not clean carafe with cleansers, steel
wool pads, or other abrasive cleaners.
15. Be certain carafe lid is securely in place
during brew cycle and when pouring

heated oven.
17. To disconnect coffeemaker, turn

18. 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.
19. Do not use appliance for other than
intended use.
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
coffeemaker. 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 coffeemaker.
