Burning smell or smoke during operation.

Safety first: Immediately unplug the coffee maker. Do not continue to use it until the cause is identified and corrected.

• 1. Inspect for spilled coffee: Once cool, clean any coffee or sugar residue from the warming plate and heater area.
• 2. Check cord and plug: Look for discoloration or melting. Replace the cord if damaged.
• 3. Open base for inspection: Look for burnt wiring, melted insulation, or scorched components on the control board or heater.
• 4. Replace damaged parts: Any burned wiring, connectors, or components must be replaced. If damage is extensive, replacing the entire unit may be safer.
