IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety
precautions should always be followed 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 sur-
face away from the edge of counter to pre-
vent accidental tipping.
7. Do not operate any appliance with a
damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance
malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in
any manner. Call our toll-free customer ser-
vice number for information on examination,
repair, or adjustment.
8. The use of accessory attachments not rec-
ommended by Hamilton Beach/ Proctor-
Silex, Inc. may result in fire, electrical shock
or personal injury.
9. Do not use outdoors.
10. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or
counter or touch hot surfaces, including
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 dur-
ing brew cycle and when pouring coffee. 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 cover. No
user serviceable parts are inside. Repair
should be done by authorized service person-
nel 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 appliance
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 cir-
cuit with your coffeemaker.
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.
