from the power outlet when not in use, before
repositioning and before cleaning. Allow to cool
before cleaning the appliance.

unplug french press from wall outlet before
filling or pouring. Do not attempt to remove the
french press from the power base or unplug from

automatically.
13. Use the french press only with the power base or
detachable cord supplied and vice-versa.

rating of the extension cord must be at least 15
amps and 120 volts. The extension cord should be
grounding type, 3-wire cord. The resulting extended
cord must be arranged so that it will not drape over
the counter top or table where it can be pulled on
