SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords are avail-
able and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension
cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should
be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and the
cord should be arranged so it will not drape over the countertop or
tabletop where it can be tripped over or pulled on by children.

OPERATING NOTICE
Clogging and backing up of water and/or coffee in the filter basket can
occur under any or a combination of any of the following conditions:
The use of too finely ground coffee, using two or more paper filters,
using the gold tone filter in conjunction with a paper filter or not properly
cleaning coffee grounds from the gold tone filter, or allowing coffee
grounds to spill over the filter.
Caution: Never open the top cover during the brewing cycle, even if no
water is draining from the filter basket, since extremely hot water/coffee
can spill out from the filter basket and cause injury. If water/coffee is not
draining from the filter basket during the brewing cycle, unplug the unit
and wait 10 minutes before opening the top cover and checking the fil-
ter basket.
