SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

Consumer Safety Information

This appliance is equipped with a grounded- type 3-wire cord (3-prong plug). This 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 electri- cian to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the grounding pin, part of the 3-prong plug.

This appliance has a short cord to reduce hazards of becoming entangled or tripping over a longer cord. A grounded-type 3 wire

extension cord may be used if the electrical rating of the extension cord is equal to or greater than the rating of the coffeemaker. Use only an extension cord rated 15 amperes or greater. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

To avoid an electrical circuit overload,

do not use another appliance on the same circuit with your coffeemaker.
