IMPORTANT
SAFEGUARDS
We at Cuisinart are very safety conscious.
We design and manufacture consumer products
with the safety of you, our valued customer,
foremost in mind. When using electrical
appliances, basic safety precautions should
always be followed, including the following:
1. CAREFULLY READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE OPERATING APPLIANCE, AND
SAVE THIS MANUAL FOR FUTURE
REFERENCE.
2. 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.
3. To protect against fire, electrical shock and
injury to persons, do not immerse the
appliance, cord or plug in water or any
other liquids.
4. This appliance is for household use only.
5. Do not operate the unit with the brewing
head open. Scalding may occur if the
brewing head is opened during brewing
cycle.
6. Do not use this appliance for anything
other than its intended use.
7. This appliance should not be used by or
near children or individuals with certain
disabilities.
8. Do not leave the appliance unattended
when in use.
9. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles
or knobs.
10. Always use the appliance on a dry,
level surface.
11. To disconnect, turn all controls off, then
remove plug from power outlet.
12. Do not place this appliance on or near a
hot gas or electric burner, or where it could
touch a heated oven.
13. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of
a table or counter or touch hot surfaces or
become knotted.
14. The use of accessory attachments not
recommended by Cuisinart may cause a
risk of injury to persons, fire or electrical
shock.
15. Strictly follow cleaning and care
instructions.
16. Do not use outdoors.
17. Do not use in moving vehicles or boats.
18. Always switch the appliance off, and then
remove plug from the power outlet when
the appliance is not being used and before
cleaning.
19. An extension cord is not recommended.
However, if one is needed, the extension
cord should be a grounded type and its
electrical rating must be the same or
higher wattage as the appliance. Regularly
inspect the supply cord, plug and actual
appliance for any damage. If any damage
is found, immediately cease use of the
appliance and call Cuisinart Consumer
Service at 1-800-472-7606.
20. For any maintenance other than cleaning,
call Cuisinart Consumer Service at
1-800-472-7606.
21. Refer servicing to qualified personnel.
22. Do not operate any appliance with a
damaged cord or plug or after the
appliance malfunctions, or has been
damaged in any manner. Return appliance
to the nearest authorized service facility for
examination, repair or adjustment.
23. Do not operate your appliance in an
appliance garage or under a wall cabinet.
When storing in an appliance garage
always unplug the unit from the
electrical outlet. Not doing so could
create a risk of fire, especially if the
appliance touches the walls of the garage
or the door touches the unit as it closes.

INSTRUCTIONS
FOR HOUSEHOLD
USE ONLY
WARNING: RISK OF FIRE OR
ELECTRIC SHOCK
The lightning flash with
arrowhead symbol within an
equilateral triangle is intended to
alert the user to the presence of
uninsulated dangerous voltage
within the product’s enclosure
that may be of sufficient
magnitude to constitute a risk of
fire or electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an
equilateral triangle is intended to
alert the user to the presence of
important operating and
maintenance (servicing)
instructions in the literature
accompanying the appliance.
SPECIAL SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Use only cold water in the water reservoir.
Do not use any other liquid.
2. Never use the machine without water in it.
NOTE: For safety reasons it is recommended
you plug your Cuisinart appliance directly into
the power outlet. Use in conjunction with a
power strip or extension cord is not
recommended.
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. The extension cord should be a
grounding-type 3-wire cord, and 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.
NOTICE
If you have a
die-cast metal unit, for
your protection it is
equipped with a
3-conductor cord set
that has a molded
3-prong grounding-
type plug, and should
be used in
combination with a
properly connected
grounding-type outlet
as shown in Figure A.
If a grounding-type outlet is not available, an
adapter, as shown in Figure B, may be obtained
so that a 2-slot wall outlet can be used with a
3-prong plug. As shown in Figure C, the adapter
must be grounded by attaching its grounding
lug under the screw of the outlet cover plate.
NOTE: Do not remove the grounding prong.
CAUTION: Before using an adapter, it must
be determined that the outlet cover plate
screw is properly grounded. If in doubt,
consult a licensed electrician. Never use
an adapter unless you are sure it is
properly grounded.
NOTE: Use of an adapter is not permitted
in Canada.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK,
DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK)
NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE
REPAIR SHOULD BE DONE BY AUTHORIZED SERVICE PERSONNEL ONLY
