INTRODUCTION

• Coffee beans are seeds. We call them beans because of their
resemblance to legumes, but they come from cherry-like coffee
plants.
• Decaf coffee is not 100% caffeine free. An 8 oz cup of decaf coffee
typically contains 2 to 12 mg of caffeine as compared to a standard
cup that has at least 95 mg.
• Johann Sebastian Bach wrote a mini opera about coffee called
"Be Still, Stop Chattering.”
• Caffeine was identified as coffee’s active ingredient in the 1830s
after it got the attention of European politicians who feared the
“wild potion’s” abilities.
• Receptors in our noses shut down after being continually exposed
to the same smell over time. That's why we become "nose blind." A
proven way to stop “nose blindness,” or olfactory habituation, is to
reset our sense of smell by sniffing coffee beans. That's why small
cups of coffee beans are often found in perfume shops.
• In 1964, a Long Island national convenience store chain was the
first to offer fresh coffee in to-go cups.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
WARNING: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). 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 or force it into the outlet. This could result in injury or electric shock.
SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards of
entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable
power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used
if care is exercised in their use.
If a longer detachable power-supply extension cord is used:
1. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least
as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
2. The 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 unintentionally.

2. To insert plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into outlet.

marks. If any are found, this indicates that the appliance should be
serviced and the power cord replaced. In such cases, please contact
Chefman® Customer Support for assistance.
5. Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance, as this could place
undue stress on the cord where it enters the appliance and cause it to
fray and break.

ANY DAMAGE OR IF APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY
OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.
