• Do not use abrasive cleaners, cleaning pads or any hard and sharp objects (e.g.
metal scouring pads) or aggressive liquids or chemicals (e.g. desinfectant, decal-
cifier) for cleaning. This holds true for the glass carafe too, because scratches can
possibly cause glass to break.
Do not immerse the appliance or power cord in
water or any other liquid. Do not spill or drip any liquids on the appliance, or
power cord, or the heating plate to avoid risk of fire and electric shock. When
liquids are spilled on the exterior or under the appliance, immediately switch
OFF the appliance, unplug the power cord and dry the appliance and the table
or counter. Do not handle the appliance or any part of it with violence. Do not
attempt to clean or dry the interior of the water reservoir with clothes, brushes or
anything similar.
• The glass carafe could break or burst on careless handling. Always take special
care, when handling the glass carafe to avoid severe injuries or damage due to
hot water and/or splinters.
• Do not use the glass carafe for any other than the intended use, or with any
other drip-type coffeemaker, or on a range top, or in a microwave oven. Do not
stir inside the glass carafe with any hard objects (e.g. spoon or cooking utensils).
• Do not use a cracked or scratched glass carafe or if the handle is loose or wea-
kened. Do not drink the beverage, if the glass carafe is damaged in any way
(e.g. cracked, broken). Do not drink directly from the glass carafe. Always check
beverages for broken glass before drinking.
• Do not use ice cubes in the glass carafe, or place the glass carafe in the refrige-
rator. Do not place the hot glass carafe on a cold or wet surface, because the
glass could burst. While operation, always grasp the glass carafe by the handle
to move it.
• A short power cord is provided to reduce the risks of becoming entangled in or
tripping over the power cord.
• Place the appliance near a suitable wall power socket to connect the appliance
directly to a mains power supply outlet with protective conductor (earth/ground)
connected properly. Ensure that the voltage rating of your mains power supply
corresponds to the voltage requirements of the appliance (220/240 V, 50 Hz,
AC, rated for 16 A). Exercise caution, when using an extension cord. The exten-
sion cord must be grounded properly and rated for 16 A. Do not use a multi
socket outlet.
• The installation of a residual current safety switch with a maximum rated residual
operating current of 30 mA in the supplying electrical circuit is recommended. If
in doubt, contact your electrician for further information.
• Always handle the power cord with care. The power cord may never be knotted,
twisted or squeezed. Do not pull or strain the power cord. Do not let the plug or
