Important Safeguards - Hamilton Beach 40515 Use And Care Manual

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons, including
the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs. Care must be
taken as burns can occur from touching hot parts or from spilled,
hot liquid.
3. To protect against fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, do not
place cord, plug, or urn in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or
near children.
5. Unplug from wall outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow
to cool before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning the
appliance.
6. Coffee urn must be operated on a flat surface away from the edge
of counter to prevent accidental tipping.
7. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after
the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any
manner. Call our toll-free customer service number for information
on examination, repair, or adjustment.
This appliance is intended for household use.
WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug (one
wide blade) that reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only
one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of
the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter.
If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.

the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be
used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to
or greater than the rating of the appliance. Care must be taken to
arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the counter-
top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally
tripped over.

wattage appliance on the same circuit with this appliance.
