INSTRUCTIONS
FOR HOUSEHOLD
USE ONLY
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 SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Use only cold water in the water reservoir.
Do not use any other liquid.
2. Never use the machine without water in it.
NOTE:
For safety reasons it is recommended
you plug your Cuisinart appliance directly into
the power outlet. Use in conjunction with a
power strip or extension cord is not
recommended.
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. The extension cord should be a
grounding-type 3-wire cord, 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
If you have a
die-cast metal unit, for
your protection it is
equipped with a
3-conductor cord set
that has a molded
3-prong grounding-
type plug, and should
be used in
combination with a
properly connected
grounding-type outlet
as shown in Figure A.
If a grounding-type outlet is not available, an
adapter, as shown in Figure B, may be obtained
so that a 2-slot wall outlet can be used with a
3-prong plug. As shown in Figure C, the adapter
must be grounded by attaching its grounding
lug under the screw of the outlet cover plate.
NOTE: Do not remove the grounding prong.
CAUTION: Before using an adapter, it must
be determined that the outlet cover plate
screw is properly grounded. If in doubt,
consult a licensed electrician. Never use
an adapter unless you are sure it is
properly grounded.
Note: Use of an adapter is not permitted
in Canada.
