This appliance intended for household use only.
This appliance is equipped with a grounded-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 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 percolator. Care must be taken to
arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the counter-
top 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 percolator.
To reduce risk of electrical shock, do not immerse the
percolator in water.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should
always be followed including the following:
1.
Read all instructions.
2.
Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs. Care must be
taken, as burns can occur from touching hot parts or from

3.

not place cord, plug or percolator in water or other liquid.
4.
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by
or near children.
5.
Unplug from outlet when the percolator is not in use and before
cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts and
before cleaning the appliance.
6.
Percolator must be operated on a flat surface away from the
edge of counter to prevent accidental tipping.
7.
