toll-free customer assistance number for
information on examination, repair, or
adjustment.
8.
The use of an accessory not evaluated for

9.
Do not use outdoors.
10.
Do not let cord hang over edge of table

a loose or weakened handle.
13.

cover. No user serviceable parts are inside.
Repair should be done by authorized
service personnel only.
18.
Do not use appliance for other than
intended use.
This appliance is intended for household
use only.
This appliance is equipped with a polarized
plug. This type of plug has one blade wider
than the other. The plug will fit into an
electrical outlet only one way. This is a safety
feature intended to help reduce the risk of
electrical shock. If you are unable to insert
the plug into the outlet, try reversing the
plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact
a qualified electrician to replace the obsolete
outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the safety
purpose of the polarized plug by modifying
the plug in any way.
The length of the cord used on this appliance
was selected to reduce the hazards of becom-
ing tangled in, or tripping over a longer cord.
If a longer cord is necessary an approved
extension cord may be used. The electrical
rating of the extension cord must be equal to
or greater than the rating of the tea maker.
Care must be taken to arrange the extension
cord so that it will not drape over the coun-
tertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on
by children or accidentally tripped over.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not
use another high wattage appliance on the
same circuit with your tea maker.
Warning:
To reduce the risk of injury from hot
steam, do not plug in the tea maker until water
is in the brew tower and the pitcher is in place.
To stop the brew cycle, unplug the tea maker.
Avoid contact with brew tower spout and
pitcher lid area; they become hot and steamy
during and after the brew cycle.
Do not operate the tea maker unless the lid is
securely attached to the pitcher and the pitcher
is properly placed in brew tray against the brew
tower.
Do not move the tea maker during or imme-
diately after the brew cycle as steam may
escape. Wait until the tea maker has cooled
before moving.
