IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

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 coffee urn in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by
or near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when either the coffee urn is 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.

CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION

This appliance is intended for commercial and household use
only.
This appliance is equipped with a grounded-type 3-wire cord
(3-prong plug).The plug will only fit into an electrical outlet made
for a 3-prong plug. This is a safety feature. If the plug should fail
to fit, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not
attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the grounding pin, part of
the 3-prong plug.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use a high wattage
appliance on the same circuit with your coffee urn.
This appliance has a short cord to reduce the hazards of becoming
entangled or tripping over a longer cord. A grounded-type 3-wire
extension cord (3-prong plug) may be used if the electrical rating of
the extension cord is greater than the rating of the coffee urn. Use
only an extension cord rated 10 amperes or greater. 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
tripped over.
NOTE: For best results, allow the coffee urn to cool for 60 seconds
between brewing cycles.
