IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
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:
❑ Read all instructions.
❑ Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handle or knobs.
❑ To protect against electric shock, do not place cord, plug or
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 to
cool before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning the
appliance.
❑ Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or
after the appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any
manner. Return the appliance to the nearest authorized service
facility for examination, repair, or adjustment. Or, call the
appropriate toll-free number on the cover of this manual.
❑ The use of an accessory not evaluated for use with this appliance
may cause injuries.
❑ Do not use outdoors.
❑ Do not let cord hang over the edge of table or counter, or come
in contact with hot surfaces.
❑ Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated
oven.
❑ Keep the lid on the carafe when in use.
❑ Do not use this appliance for anything other than its intended use.
❑ To reduce risk of fire, do not mount Coffeemaker over or near any
portion of a heating or cooking appliance.
❑ To reduce risk of fire or electric shock, do not place any electric
or gas heating or cooking appliance under the Coffeemaker.
❑ Scalding may occur if the brew basket is removed during the
brewing cycle.
❑ To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not mount over the sink.
❑ To reduce the risk of fire, do not store anything directly on top of
the appliance surface when the appliance is in operation.
❑ The carafe is designed for use with the appliance. It must never be
used on a range top.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
POLARIZED PLUG (120V Models Only)
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 the 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.
TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW
Warning : This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent removal of
the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not attempt to remove the
outer cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done only by
authorized service personnel.
ELECTRICAL CORD
a) A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to be provided to
reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
b) Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be
used if care is exercised in their use.
c) If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used,
1) The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or extension cord
should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance,
2) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type
3-wire cord, and
3) The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or
tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
Note: If the power supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced by qualified personnel
or in Latin America by an authorized service center.
❑ Do not set a hot carafe down on a wet or cold surface.
❑ Do not use the carafe if the glass is cracked or has a loose
or weakened handle.
❑ Do not clean the carafe with abrasive cleansers, steel wool,
or other abrasive material.
