Other Consumer Safety Information
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to
reduce 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 countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by
children or accidentally tripped over.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another high-
wattage appliance on the same circuit with your appliance.
• Do not place hands inside carafe. When handling, be careful if
wearing any hand jewelry, especially diamond rings. Jewelry can
scratch the glass, which increases the possibility of breakage.
• Do not bump, scratch or boil dry.
• Discard carafe if it is cracked, scratched, or heated while empty for
an extended period of time.
• To avoid accidents, do not pour in the direction of people.
• If stirring in the carafe, use only wooden, plastic, or rubber utensils.
Do not use metal utensils.
• Follow the above safety precautions carefully to avoid serious burn
injuries which may result if breakage occurs while carafe holds
heated liquids.
This symbol reminds you that glass is fragile and can break
which could result in personal injury.
