IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS  
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to  
prevent the risk of fire, electric shock, burns, or other injuries or damages.  
Read all instructions before use.  
Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.  
To protect against fire, electrical shock and injury to persons do not immerse cord,  
plugs, or the appliance in water or other liquids.  
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.  
Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow it to cool before  
putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning the appliance.  
Do not operate appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance  
malfunctions or has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Call our toll-free  
customer assistance number for information on examination, repair, or adjustment.  
The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance  
manufacturer may result in fire, electric shock or injuries to persons.  
Do not use outdoors or in a damp area.  
Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.  
Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.  
To disconnect the appliance, turn control to “off”, then remove plug from the wall  
outlet.  
Do not use this appliance for anything other than its intended use.  
Do not touch the keep warm plate (11) when the coffee maker is on.  
Scalding may occur if the coffee-filling lid (2) is opened during the brewing cycles.  
Never leave the empty carafe (13) on the keep warm plate (11) when the coffee  
maker is on. Otherwise the carafe (13) is liable to crack.  
Do not set a hot carafe on a cold surface.  
Do not use a cracked carafe or a carafe having a loose or weakened handle.

ADDITIONAL SAFEGUARDS  
This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.  
DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCE IF THE LINE CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE OR IF  
APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.  
EXTENSION CORDS  
A short power-supply cord is to be provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming  
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power-supply cords or  
extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a longer  
detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used,  
1) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as  
great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and  
2) The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or  
tabletop where it can be tripped over, snagged, or pulled on unintentionally  
(especially by children).  
POLARIZED PLUG  
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk  
of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If plug  
does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified  
electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
