Cuisinart DCC-450 Series - Manual (Page 3)

SPECIAL CORD SET
INSTRUCTIONS
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce
the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or
tripping over a longer cord.
Longer extension cords are available and may
be used if care is exercised in their use. If a long
extension cord is used, the marked electrical
rating of the extension cord must be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and
the longer cord should be arranged so that it will
not drape over the counter top or table top where
it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
NOTICE
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of
electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully
in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not
fit, contact a qualified electrician.
Do not modify the plug in any way.
OPERATING NOTICE
Clogging and backing up of water and/or coffee
in the filter basket can occur under any or a
combination of any of the following conditions:
The use of too finely ground coffee; using two
or more paper filters; using the gold tone filter in
conjunction with a paper filter or not properly
cleaning coffee grounds from the gold tone filter;
or allowing coffee grounds to spill over the filter.
Caution: Never open the filter basket during the
brewing cycle, even if no water is draining from
the filter basket, since extremely hot water/coffee
can spill out from the filter basket and cause
injury. If water/coffee is not draining from the filter
basket during the brewing cycle, unplug the unit
and wait 10 minutes before opening and
checking the filter basket.
During and after brewing, hold carafe by handle
only. Stainless steel will be hot.
