RECAUTIONS
• To protect against fire, electric shock and injury to persons, do not immerse cord,
plugs, or other electric parts in water or other liquids.
• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug.
• Do not use this appliance outdoors.
• Do not plug cord into wall outlet unless power switch is in OFF position.
• Always position switch to OFF and unplug the appliance from outlet before
cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning.
• Your Drip Coffeemaker has a short cord as a safety precaution to avoid pulling,
tripping or entanglement. Position the cord so that it does not hang over the
edge of the counter, table or other area or touch hot surfaces.
• While use of an extension cord is not recommended, if you must use one, make
sure the cord has the same or higher wattage as the Drip Coffeemaker (wattage
is stamped on the underside of the Drip Coffeemaker base). To avoid pulling,
tripping or entanglement, position the extension cord so that it does not hang
over the edge of the counter, table or other area.
• Use an electrical outlet that accommodates the polarized plug on the Drip
Coffeemaker. On a polarized plug, one blade of the plug is wider than the other.
If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet or extension cord, reverse the plug.
If the plug still does not fit fully, contact a qualified electrician. Do not alter the
plug.
• Do not use an outlet or extension cord if the plug fits loosely or if the outlet or
extension cord feels hot.
• Keep the cord away from hot parts of the appliance and hot surfaces during
operation.
