IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs. Care must
be taken, as burns can occur from touching hot parts or from
spilled, hot liquid.
3. To protect against electric shock, do not place cord, plug, or
BrewStation®in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by
or near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when either the BrewStation®or clock is
not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting
on or taking off parts and before cleaning the appliance.
6. Scalding may occur if the lid is lifted during the brewing cycle.
Do not open lid until coffeemaker has cooled completely.
7. BrewStation®must be operated on a flat surface away from
the edge of counter to prevent accidental tipping.
8. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or
after the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in
any manner. Call our toll-free customer service number for
information on examination, repair, or adjustment.
9. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the
appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
10. Do not use outdoors.
11. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch
hot surfaces, including stove.
12. The coffee tank is designed for use with this BrewStation®. It
must never be used on a range top or in a microwave oven.

burner or in a heated oven.

OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION
This appliance is intended for household use only.
WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug
(one wide blade) that reduces the risk of electric 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 adapter. If the plug does not fit, reverse the plug. If it still does
not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.
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 BrewStation®.
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.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another high-
wattage appliance on the same circuit with your BrewStation®.
IMPORTANT
Never use coffee tank to pour hot coffee or carry hot coffee.
Handle coffee tank when it holds only cold water.
Additional Information
• If overflow occurs: Let unit, coffee, and grounds cool completely before attempting any cleanup.
• Use only brand-name, high-quality filters.
• Use only 1 tablespoon of ground coffee for each cup of water.
• Use coffeemaker cleaner to prevent hard water deposits that affect coffeemaker performance. Clean monthly.
• Do not clean coffee tank in dishwasher.
• Read instructions before using.
