CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION
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 electrical
outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert
the plug into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still
fail to fit, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not
attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
A short cord is provided to reduce the hazard of becoming entangled
or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may be used if the
electrical rating is equal to or greater than the rating of the coffeemaker.
Use an extension cord rated 15 amperes or greater. 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
tripped over.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another high
wattage appliance on the same circuit with your coffeemaker.
