electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs. Do not close or clog the steam vent opening
under any circumstances.
3. To protect against fire, electric shock and other injury to persons, do not immerse cord, plugs or
the appliance in water or other liquids.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when either the appliance or display clock is not in use, and before cleaning. Allow
to cool before adding or removing parts other than the Glass Carafe, 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 damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for
examination, repair or adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may result
in fire, electric shock or other injury to persons.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Keep the power cord away from hot surfaces and do not let the cord hang over the edge of
tables or counters.
10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
11. To disconnect, turn the power off by pressing the BREW/OFF button, then remove plug from wall
outlet.
12. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
13. To protect against electrical hazards, unplug the cord at all times before cleaning.
14. Scalding may occur if the Lid is opened during the brewing cycles.
15. The Glass Carafe is designed for use with this appliance. It must never be used on a range top.
16. Do not set the hot Glass Carafe on a wet or cold surface.
17. Do not use a cracked Glass Carafe or a Glass Carafe having a loose or weakened handle.
18. Do not clean the Glass Carafe with cleansers, steel wool pads, or other abrasive materials.
NOTE: 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. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or
tripping over a longer cord.
B. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.
C. If an extension cord is used, (1) the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at
least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, (2) if the appliance is of the grounded type,
the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and (3) the longer cord should be
arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by
