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 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 obsolete 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 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 circuit with your coffeemaker.
