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 han-
dles 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
coffeemaker 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
appliance 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 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.

are inside. Repair should be done by

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is intended for house-
hold use only.
This appliance is equipped with a ground-
ed- type 3-wire cord (3-prong plug). This
type of plug will only fit into an electrical
outlet made for a 3-prong plug. This is a
safety feature intended to help reduce the
risk of electrical shock. If the plug should
fail to fit contact a qualified electrician to
replace the obsolete outlet. Do not
attempt to defeat the safety purpose of
the grounding pin 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 rat-
ing 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.
