IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed 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 percolator in water or other liquid.

4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.

5. Unplug from outlet when the percolator is not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning the appliance.

6. Percolator 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 assistance number for information on examination, repair, or mechanical adjustment.

8. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may result in fire, electrical shock or injury to persons.

9. Do not use outdoors.

10. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces, including stove.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION

This appliance intended for household use only.

This appliance is equipped with a grounded-type 3-wire cord

(3-prong plug). This type of plug will only fit into an electrical outlet made for a 3-prong plug. This is a safety feature intended to help reduce the risk of electrical shock. If the plug should fail to fit, contact a qualified electrician to replace the obsolete outlet.

Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the grounding pin by modifying the plug in any way.

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 percolator. 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 percolator.

To reduce risk of electrical shock, do not immerse the percolator in water.
