wWARNING
Shock Hazard
• Do not immerse this appliance in water or other liquid.
• This appliance has a polarized plug (one wide blade) that reduces the
risk of electrical shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any
way or using an adaptor. If the plug does not fit, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.

OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION
This appliance is intended for household use only.
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the
hazards of becoming tangled in, or tripping over, a longer cord. If a longer
cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical
rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of
the coffeemaker. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that
it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on
by children or accidentally tripped over.
