POLARIZED PLUG (120V Models Only)
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit
into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into
the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

to prevent removal of the outer cover. to reduce the risk of fire or
electric shock, do not attempt to remove the outer cover. There are
no user-serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done only by
authorized service personnel.
ELECTRICAL CORD
a) A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to
be provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled
in or tripping over a longer cord.
b) Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are
available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
c) If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used,
1) 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,
2) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord
should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and

Note: If desired, before placing mug on the mug rest, remove the lid
from the travel mug and add sweetener, cream or milk to the mug
before brewing; replace the lid before placing mug on the mug rest. If
using this tip do not fill reservoir to Max line; leave space in reservoir

hot beverages such as tea, hot chocolate, instant oatmeal and soups.
To brew hot water and avoid coffee flavor, remove the permanent
filter and basket and follow the brewing process (without adding

this area is hot and steamy. Use the lift tab located on the front
of the cover.
