When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons, 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 spilled, hot liquid.

4.Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.

5.Unplug from outlet when either the coffeemaker or clock is not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning the appliance.

6.Coffeemaker must be operated on a flat surface away from the edge of counter to prevent accidental tipping.

7.Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Call our toll-free customer service number for information on examination, electrical repair, mechanical repair, or adjustment.

8.The use of accessory attachments not recommended by Hamilton Beach Commercial may result in fire, electrical shock or personal injury.

9.Do not use outdoors.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION

This appliance is intended for commercial and household use only.

This appliance is equipped with a grounded-type 3-wire cord (3-prong plug).The plug will only fit into an electrical outlet made for a 3-prong plug. This is a safety feature. If the plug should fail to fit, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the grounding pin, part of the 3-prong plug.

To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use a high wattage appliance on the same circuit with your coffeemaker.

This appliance has a short cord to reduce the hazards of becoming entangled or tripping over a longer cord. A grounded-type 3-wire extension cord (3-prong plug) may be used if the electrical rating of the extension cord is greater than the rating of the coffeemaker. Use only an extension cord rated 10 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.

NOTE: For best results, allow the coffeemaker to cool for 60 seconds between brewing cycles.
