Electricity Precautions

To prevent electrical shock, personal injury or property damage, read and follow all instructions and warnings.

•To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or other electric parts in water or other liquids.

•Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug.

•Do not use this appliance outdoors.

•Be sure switch is turned to “OFF” before plugging cord into wall outlet. If coffeemaker does not have a switch, be sure coffeemaker contains water or brewed coffee before plugging in. Do not leave coffeemaker plugged in when it is not being used.

•Always unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts.

•Your appliance has a short cord as a safety precaution to avoid pulling, tripping or entanglement. Position the cord so that it does not hang over the edge of the counter, table or other area or touch hot surfaces.

•Plug coffeemaker into 120 volt AC grounded electric outlet only. The cord has a three-prong plug which mates with a standard three-prong gounded wall outlet. Do not cut or remove the third prong from the plug. If an adaptor is used, be sure adaptor wire and wall outlet is grounded. If there is any doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded, check with a qualified electrician.

•While use of an extension cord is not recommended, if you must use one, make sure the cord has the same or higher wattage as the coffeemaker (wattage is stamped on the underside of the base). To avoid pulling, tripping or entanglement, position the extension cord so that it does not hang over the edge of the counter, table or other area.

•Do not use an outlet or extension cord if the plug fits loosely or if the outlet or extension cord feels hot.

•Keep the cord away from hot parts of the appliance and hot surfaces during operation.
