IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic
safety precautions should always be fol-
lowed 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
or knobs. Care must be taken, as burns
can occur from touching hot parts or
from spilled, hot liquid.
3. To protect against electric shock, do not
place cord, plug or coffeemaker in water
or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any
appliance is used by or near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when either the cof-
feemaker or clock is not in use and
before cleaning. Allow to cool before
putting on or taking off parts and before
cleaning the appliance.
6. Coffeemaker must be operated on a flat
surface away from the edge of counter to
prevent accidental tipping.
7. Do not operate any appliance with a
damaged cord or plug, or after the appli-
ance malfunctions or is dropped or
damaged in any manner. Call our toll-free
customer service number for information
on examination, repair, or adjustment.
8. The use of accessory attachments not
recommended by Hamilton Beach/
Proctor-Silex, Inc. may cause injuries.
9. Do not use outdoors.
10. Do not let cord hang over edge of table
or counter or touch hot surfaces, includ-
ing stove.
11. The carafe is designed for use with this
coffeemaker. It must never be used on
a range top or in a microwave oven.
12. Do not set a hot carafe on a wet or cold
surface.
13. Do not use a cracked carafe or one with
loose or weakened handle.
14. Do not clean carafe or hot plate with
cleansers, steel wool pads, or other
abrasive material.
15. Be certain carafe lid is securely in place
during brew cycle and when pouring cof-
fee. Do not use force when placing lid on
carafe.
16. To disconnect coffeemaker, turn controls
to OFF, then remove plug from wall outlet.
17. Do not place coffeemaker on or near a
hot gas or electric burner or in a heated
oven.
18. Warning: To reduce the risk of fire or
electric shock, do not remove the bottom

inside. Repair should be done by autho-
rized service personnel only.
19. Do not use appliance for other than
intended use.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is intended for household
use only.
The length of the cord used on this appli-
ance was selected to reduce the hazards of
becoming 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
coffeemaker. Care must be taken to arrange
the extension cord so that it will not drape
over the countertop 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 coffeemaker.

WARNING
Shock Hazard
• Do not immerse this appliance in water or other liquid.
• This appliance has a polarized plug (one wide blade) that reduces the risk of electrical
shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or using an adaptor. If the plug
does not fit, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.
