Important Safeguards - Hamilton Beach 45237 User 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 electric shock, do not place cord, plug, or
coffeemaker in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by
or near children.
5. Unplug from outlet by firmly grasping the plug when either the
coffeemaker or clock is not in use and before cleaning. Allow to
cool before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning the
appliance.
6. Coffeemaker 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.
8. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the
appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
This appliance is intended for household use only.
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.
