IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
Coffeemaker Safety
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:
1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles
or knobs. Care must be taken, as burns
can occur from touching hot parts or
from spilled, hot liquid.
3. To protect against electric shock, do not
place cord, plug or coffeemaker in water
or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any
appliance is used by or near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when the coffeemaker
is not in use and before cleaning. Allow to
cool before putting on or taking off parts
and before cleaning the appliance.
6. Coffeemaker must be operated on a flat
surface away from the edge of counter
to prevent accidental tipping.
7. Do not operate any appliance with a
damaged cord or plug, or after the
appliance malfunctions or is dropped or
damaged in any manner. Call our
toll-free customer service number for
information on examination, repair or
electrical or mechanical adjustment.
8. The use of accessory attachments not
recommended by Hamilton Beach/
Proctor-Silex, Inc. may result in fire,
electrical shock or personal injury.
Consumer Safety Information
9. Do not use outdoors.
10. Do not let cord hang over edge of
table or counter or touch hot surfaces,
including stove.
11. The carafe is designed for use with this
coffeemaker. It must never be used on a
range top or in a microwave oven.
12. Do not set a hot carafe on a wet or cold
surface.
13. Do not use a cracked carafe or one with
loose or weakened handle.
14. Do not clean carafe with abrasive
cleansers or steel wool pads, or other
abrasive material.
15. Be certain carafe lid is securely in place
during brew cycle and when pouring
coffee, do not use force when placing lid
on carafe.
16. Do not place coffeemaker on or near a
hot gas or electric burner or in a heated
oven.
17. To disconnect coffeemaker, turn
controls to OFF, then remove plug from
wall outlet.
18. Warning: To reduce the risk of fire
or electric shock, do not remove the
bottom cover. No user serviceable parts
are inside. Repair should be done by
authorized service personnel only.
19. Do not use appliance for other than
intended use.
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.
