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.

taken, as burns can occur from touching hot parts or from spilled,
hot liquid.

not place cord, plug or coffeemaker in water or other liquid.

near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when the coffeemaker 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 man-
ner. Call our toll-free customer assistance number for information
on examination, repair or electrical or mechanical adjustment.

appliance manufacturer may result in fire, electrical shock or
injury to persons.

Consumer Safety Information

This appliance intended for household use only.
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 table-
top 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.
