Important Safeguards

recommended for use by children.

Consumer Safety Information
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from entanglement
or tripping over a long cord. An extension cord may be used with care; however, be sure
the marked electrical rating is equal to or greater than the rating of this appliance. The
extension cord should be positioned such that it does not drape over the counter or
tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over. The electrical rating of this
appliance is listed on the bottom panel of the unit.
Power Cord
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature,
this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit 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.
Read carefully and save all the instructions provided with an appliance. Always turn the appliance
o before you insert or remove a plug. Remove by grasping the plug – do not pull on the cord.
Polarized Plug
Before Your First Use
Carefully unpack the coee maker and remove all packaging materials. To remove any dust that
may have accumulated during packaging, wash the carafe, lid and filter basket with warm soapy
water. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners.
You may wipe the heating stand with a clean, damp cloth.
CAUTION: Do not immerse the heating stand in water or other liquid.
NOTE: We recommend that prior to brewing your first pot of coee, you brew with cold water
only, without ground coee or a paper filter. This will remove any dust that may have settled
inside the coee maker.
IMPORTANT: Use only cold water - the automatic brewing system has been designed to work
with only cold water.
