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:
❑
Read all instructions.
❑
Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handle or knobs.
❑
To protect against electric shock, do not place cord, plug or appliance
in water or other liquids.
❑
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near
children.
❑
Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool
before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning the appliance.
❑
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the
appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. Return the
appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination,
repair, or adjustment. Or, call the appropriate toll-free number on the
cover of this manual.
❑
The use of an accessory not evaluated for use with this appliance may
cause injury.
❑
Do not use outdoors.
❑
Do not let cord hang over the edge of table or counter, or come
in contact with hot surfaces.
❑
Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
❑
Keep the lid on the carafe when in use.
❑
The carafe is designed for use with the appliance. It must never be used
on a range top.
❑
Do not set a hot carafe down on a wet or cold surface.
❑
Do not use the carafe if the glass is cracked or has a loose or weakened
handle.
❑
Do not clean the carafe with abrasive cleansers, steel wool, or other
abrasive material.
❑
Do not use this appliance for anything other than its intended use.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
POLARIZED PLUG (120V Models Only)
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the
risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way.
If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW
Warning :
This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent
removal of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock,
do not attempt
to remove the outer cover.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Repair should
be done only by authorized service personnel.
ELECTRICAL CORD
a) A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to be provided
to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over
a longer cord.
b) Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and
may be used if care is exercised in their use.
c) If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used,
1) The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or extension
cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance,
2) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be
a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and
3) 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.
NOTE: If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order
to avoid a hazard.
