1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces, including the warming plate. Exercise caution.
   Use handles or knobs.
3. To protect against fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, do not immerse cords, plugs, or coffee makers in water or other liquid.
4. This appliance is not intended for use by children or by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near children. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. Keep the appliance and its cord out of reach of children.
5. Never leave the appliance unattended when in use.
6. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning.
7. Allow cooling before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
8. 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 an authorized service center for examination and repair.
9. The use of an accessory not recommended by the appliance manufacturer for use with this appliance may result in fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons.
10. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
11. Do not place on or near a hot electric or gas burner, or in a heated oven.
12. To disconnect the appliance, ensure the brew light is off and unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet.

14. Scalding may occur if the lid is removed during the brewing cycles. Allow cooling before opening the lid.
15. Keep your hands, face, and other body parts away from the steam vent on the top of the coffee maker. The steam from the appliance becomes very hot during use. Do not cover the steam vent.
16. Do not attempt to operate the appliance with an empty water reservoir.

22. Do not clean the carafe or heating plate with cleansers, steel wool pads, or other abrasive materials.
23. Check funnel and filter for the presence of foreign objects before using.

CORD AND PLUG SAFETY

• A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
• Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.
• If an extension cord is used:
  a. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least equal to the electrical rating of the appliance; and
  b. 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.

ELECTRICAL POLARIZED PLUG
This unit has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, the plug is intended to be used by inserting it into the electrical outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit securely into the outlet, reverse the plug and re-insert. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician for assistance.
Do not modify the plugin anyway.
