•
Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
•
Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
•
Do not operate when the appliance is not working properly or when it has been
damaged in any manner. For service information see warranty page.
•
The use of accessory attachments not recommended by Focus Electrics may
result in fire, electric shock or injury to persons.
•
Do not attempt to repair this appliance yourself.
•
Do not use this appliance on the stovetop, under a broiler, in the oven, or in the
refrigerator or freezer.
•
Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles and knobs where provided. Use hot
pads or oven mitts when handling hot surfaces.
•
Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or
other hot liquids.
•
Make sure cover, basket and stem are properly assembled before the appliance
is plugged in (see Instructions for Making Coffee section). No part of the
appliance should be removed during the brewing cycle as scalding could occur.
•
Scalding may occur if the lid is removed during the brewing cycle.
•
To protect against fire, electric shock and injury to persons do not immerse cord,
plugs, or other electric parts in water or other liquids.
•
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug.
•
Do not use this appliance outdoors.
•
Be sure switch is turned to "OFF" before plugging the cord into wall outlet. If the
appliance does not have a switch, be sure the appliance contains water or
brewed coffee before plugging in. Do not leave appliance plugged in when it is
not being used.
•
Always unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool
before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning.
•
Longer, detachable power-supply cords, or extension cords are available and
may be used if care is exercised in their use. While use of an extension cord is
not recommended, if you must use one, the marked electrical rating of the
detachable power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as
the electrical rating of the appliance. If the appliance is of the grounded type,
the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
•
Do not use an outlet or extension cord if the plug fits loosely or if the outlet or
extension cord feels hot.
