Electricity Precautions

∙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.

∙Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to “off”, then remove plug from wall outlet.

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

∙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.

∙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 percolator (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.

∙This appliance has a 2-wire polarized plug, (one blade of the plug is wider than the other), or a 3-wire grounded plug. To reduce the risk of electric shock, either plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If a 2-wire plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If either plug does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

∙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.
