WARNING: RISK OF FIRE 

OR ELECTRIC SHOCK

The lightning flash with arrowhead  
symbol within an equilateral triangle 
is intended to alert the user to the 
presence of uninsulated dangerous 
voltage within the product’s 
enclosure that may be of sufficient 
magnitude to constitute a risk of fire 
or electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an  
equilateral triangle is intended to  
alert the user to the presence of 
important operating and 
maintenance (servicing) instructions 
in the literature accompanying the 
appliance.

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 
countertop or tabletop 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 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 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.

WARNING

RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK,
