POLARIZED PLUG This appliance has a polarized plug—one blade is wider than the other. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse it. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature by modifying the plug in any way. TAMPER-RESISTANT This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent removal of the bottom cover.

Excessive steaming or a prolonged brewing cycle are signs that a cleaning is needed. Clean your Coffeemaker approximately every 1-3 months.
ELECTRICAL CORD The cord length of this Drip Coffeemaker was selected to reduce safety hazards that may occur with a longer cord. If more cord length is needed, an extension cord with a polarized plug may be used. It should be rated not less than 10 amperes, 120 Volts, and have Underwriters Laboratories (in USA) or CSA (in Canada) listing. When using a longer cord, be sure it does not drape over a working area or dangle where it could be pulled on or tripped over.
