Safety Precautions:
- Always read all instructions carefully and retain them for future use.
- Do not use the appliance for other than intended use.
- Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
- To protect against electric shock, do not place cord, plugs, or appliance in water or other liquid.
- Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
- Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
- Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. Return appliance to an authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment.
- The use of accessory attachment not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may result in fire, electric shock or injury to persons.
- Do not use outdoors.
- Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
- Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
- Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to "off", then remove plug from wall outlet.
- Scalding may occur if the lid is removed during the brewing cycles.
- A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords 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.
- The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
- The water level must be between the MIN and MAX marks. Note that if the kettle is overfilled, boiling water may spill and may scald the user.
- This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit 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.
- Do not use a cracked container or a container having a loose or weakened handle.
- Do not clean container with cleansers, steel wool pads, or other abrasive material.
- Do not immerse in water.
- Risk of scalding: To prevent water from spilling over, the lid must be closed when pouring.
