SPECIAL CORD SET 

INSTRUCTIONS

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce 

the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or 

tripping over a longer cord.
Longer extension cords are available and may  

be used if care is exercised in their use. If a long 

extension cord is used, the marked electrical  

rating of the extension cord must be at least as 

great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and 

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 children or tripped over.

NOTICE

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade  

is wider than the other).  To reduce the risk of 

electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized  

outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully  

in the outlet, reverse the plug.  If it still does not 

fit, contact a qualified electrician.  
Do not modify the plug in any way.

OPERATING NOTICE

Clogging and backing up of water and/or coffee 

in the filter basket can occur under any or a  

combination of any of the following conditions: 

The use of too finely ground coffee; using two  

or more paper filters; using the gold tone filter in 

conjunction with a paper filter or not properly 

cleaning coffee grounds from the gold tone filter; 

or allowing coffee grounds to spill over the filter.

Caution:

 Never open the filter basket during the 

brewing cycle, even if no water is draining from 

the filter basket, since extremely hot water/coffee 

can spill out from the filter basket and cause  

injury. If water/coffee is not draining from the filter 

basket during the brewing cycle, unplug the unit 

and wait 10 minutes before opening and  

checking the filter basket. 
During and after brewing, hold carafe by handle 

only. Stainless steel will be hot.
