lowed to reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock, and/or injury to persons, including
the following:
1.

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.

damaged cord or plug, or after the
appliance malfunctions or is dropped or
damaged in any manner. Call our toll-

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
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 elec-
trical 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 obso-
lete 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 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.
