• Read and save all safety warnings, instructions, and cautionary markings for appliance, alcohol, and capsules.
• This appliance is intended for adults of legal drinking age. This appliance should not be used by children or by persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near children. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• Always drink responsibly.
• To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not immerse appliance, motor, cord, or plug in water or other liquid. Do not use the appliance in the bathroom, near water, or in adverse weather conditions.
• Only use the power adaptor supplied by the manufacturer.
• Unplug when not in use, during external cleaning, or when making adjustments.
• Do not abuse the cord. Use the plug, never the cord, for unplugging the appliance. Replace damaged cord or plug immediately.
• Do not operate any appliance after the appliance malfunctions, or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Call the appropriate toll‑free number in this manual.
• Do not use broken, chipped, or cracked bottles of alcohol.
• The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury; do not use attachments or appliances for anything other than intended use.
• This appliance is not intended for commercial, professional, or industrial use. It is designed and built exclusively for household use.
• Do not place appliance on, near, or in a hot item such as a stove, oven, pot, or container.
• Do not touch puncturing needles inside the pod holder. The needles are sharp. Handle carefully with your hands away from cutting edge. Always store out of reach of children with the pod holder closed.
• Do not use the appliance with wet hands.
• Never modify the appliance, attachments, or any parts thereof.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
This product is for household use only.

• Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result in risk of fire, electric shock, or electrocution
• An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that is, 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. When using more than one extension to make up the total length, be sure each individual extension contains at least the minimum wire size. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The lower the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
