Safety First

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When operating this electric appliance, basic safety instructions should always be followed:

1. READ ALL SAFETY & USAGE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
2. Do not use appliance on wet or hot surfaces, or near a heat source.
3. To protect against electric shock, do not immerse any part of the appliance, power cord, or plug in water or other liquid. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning.
4. To disconnect, unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet. Do not disconnect by pulling on the cord.
5. Do not operate the appliance with a damaged power cord or plug. Do not operate the appliance if it malfunctions or is in any way damaged. For details, contact Customer Service.
6. Use the appliance only for its intended use.
7. Closely supervise children when using any electrical appliance. Do not allow the appliance to be used as a toy.
8. The appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.
9. Caution: A short power cord is provided to reduce risks from entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may be used if its marked electrical rating is no less than the electrical rating of this appliance. All cords should not drape over counters or tabletops where they can be tripped over or pulled on unintentionally, especially by children.
10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or heated oven. Extreme caution must be used when moving products containing hot liquids.
11. Only use fresh (potable) and cold (moderate) water. Do not use water contained in bathtubs, wash basins, or other recipients.
12. Never touch the hot parts of the appliance (be careful, the warming plate is also a hot part!), only touch the plastic parts and pot by the handle.
13. Be careful not to get burned by the steam evaporating from the coffee filter.
14. Never use the appliance if the pot shows any signs of cracks. Only use the pot with this appliance.
15. Handle with care as the glass is very fragile.
16. Never use your coffee machine without water in it if you have a programmable coffee machine; make sure to fill it with water before programming it.
17. Never place the empty (or almost empty) coffeepot on the hotplate when the coffee machine is running, or on any other hot surfaces.
