Other Consumer Safety Information
wWARNING Electrical Shock Hazard: This product is provided
with a grounded (3-prong) plug to reduce the risk of electric shock.
The plug fits only one way into a grounded outlet. Do not defeat
the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way
or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit into the outlet, 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 appliance. The
extension cord must be a grounding-type, 3-wire cord. 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 this appliance.

water. There may also be additional water
in the system that is causing the overflow.
Remove brew basket or single-serve pack
