IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS3 This appliance is intended for household use only. w WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard: This appliance is provided with a polarized plug (one wide blade) to reduce 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 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 appliance. 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 this appliance.

• Reduce amount of water in reservoir.

• Brew a different type of single-serve pack. Coffee not dispensing.

• Unit hasn’t cooled down. Allow 2 minutes between brewing cycles.

• Try filling water reservoir before pushing down brew basket handle to pierce single-serve pack. Start brewing cycle. Failed foil seal. • There is variability in the single-serve pack manufacturing process which causes some types of single-serve packs to be weaker at the seams.

• Try a different brand of single-serve pack. Troubleshooting Tips (cont.)13 LIMITED WARRANTY This warranty applies to products purchased and used in the U.S. and Canada.
