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 

and knobs.

3. To protect against electric shock, do not 

place cord, plug, or base unit in water or
other liquids.

4. Close supervision is necessary when any 

appliance is used by or near children.

5. Always unplug from outlet when not in use

and before cleaning. Allow to cool before
putting on or taking off parts 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
dropped or damaged in any manner.
Return appliance to the nearest Cuisinart
Repair Center for examination, repair, 
and electrical or mechanical adjustment.

7. The use of accessory attachments 

not recommended by Cuisinart may 
cause injuries.

8. Do not use outdoors.

9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table 

or counter, or touch hot surface.

10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or 

electric burner, or in a heated oven.

11. Always fill water reservoir first, then plug

push the rocker switch to “Off”, then 
remove plug from wall outlet.

12. Do not use appliance for other than 

intended use.

13. Snap lid securely onto carafe before 

serving any beverages.

14. Scalding may occur if the lid is removed 

during the brewing cycle.

15. The glass carafe is designed for use with

these appliances only.  It must never be
used on the range top.

16. Do not set a hot carafe on a wet or 

cold surface.

17. Do not use cracked carafe or a carafe 

having a loose or weakened handle.

18. Do not clean carafe or warming plate
