IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions
should always be followed including the following:
Read all instructions before using.
1. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
Care must be taken to prevent burns which can
occur from touching hot parts or from spilling
hot liquids.
2. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse
cord, plug, or Coffee Maker in water or other liquid.
3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is
used by or near children.
4. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before
cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking
off parts or before cleaning appliance.
5. Do not operate this appliance with a damaged cord
or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions, or has
been damaged in any manner; return the Coffee
Maker to the retail location where it was purchased
for examination, repair, or adjustment.
6. Use this appliance only for its intended use as
described in this manual. Do not use accessory
attachments not recommended by Philips Electronics
North America Corporation as they may cause
hazards or injuries.
7. Do not use outdoors.
8. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or
counter, or touch hot surfaces. Operate on a flat
surface away from edge of counter top to prevent
accidental tipping.
9. Do not place Coffee Maker on or near a hot gas or
electric burner, or in heated oven.

10. This appliance is intended for household use ONLY;
it is not for commercial or industrial use.
11. Any service of the Coffee Maker, should be performed
by the retail location where it was purchased.
12. To disconnect Coffee Maker, turn Power Control Switch
to "OFF", then remove plug from electrical outlet.

shock, do not remove the bottom cover. No user
serviceable parts are inside. Return the Coffee
Maker to the retail location where it was
purchased for examination, repair or adjustment.
SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
The Coffee Maker has a short cord to reduce the hazards
of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
An extension cord may be used if the rating is equal to or
greater than the rating of the Coffee Maker. Use an
extension cord rated 13 amperes or greater. Care must
be taken to arrange extension cord so that it will not
drape over countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled
on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
Operating the Coffee Maker and another appliance at the
same time from the same electrical circuit could cause an
electrical overload condition, which would blow the fuse
or trip the circuit breaker.
SPECIAL POLARIZED PLUG
INSTRUCTIONS
This Philips Coffee Maker has a polarized plug for an
added safety feature (one blade is wider than the other). To
reduce the risk of electrical shock:
• Plug will fit into polarized outlet only one way.
• If plug does not properly fit outlet at first, reverse it.
• If plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DEFEAT
THIS SAFETY FEATURE
WARNING
•
To avoid risk of personal injury or damage to property as
a result of overflow, be sure that the carafe is centered
under the brew basket during the brewing cycle.
• Brewed coffee and grounds, in brew basket and carafe, are
very hot. Handle with care to avoid scalding.
• If brew basket overflows, or if brew basket fails to drain
into coffee pot during brewing cycle, do not open or
handle basket. Unplug Coffee Maker, and wait for contents
to cool before handling.
• Do not remove any part of Coffee Maker, other than
carafe for up to 30 seconds to Pause & Pour during the
brew cycle as scalding could occur.
