The recalled Bunn-O-Matic coffeemakers have either a black or white plastic base and top, and measure 14 1/4-inches high by 7-inches wide by 13 3/4 -inches deep.

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - About 1.75 million Bunn-O-Matic home coffeemakers are being recalled because of faulty wiring that can cause the machine's plastic pour-in bowl and lid to melt, posing serious risk of burns and fire, the Consumer Product Safety Commission said Friday.

The coffeemakers are made by privately-held Bunn-O-Matic Corp. of Springfield, Ill., which is voluntarily recalling them, the CPSC said.

Bunn-O-Matic said it received 17 reports of the bowl or lid melting, though no injuries have been reported.

The units, which are manufactured in the United States, were sold at department and hardware stores nationwide between February 2001 and August 2004 for about $100.

The recall involves Bunn home coffeemakers with model numbers GR-10B, GR-10W, B-10B, B-10W, and BT-10B, including any of those same model numbers ending in the additional letter "D," with six-digit date codes ending in "01," "02," or "03."

Also involved in the recall are the same models with dates codes ending in "04" and middle digits between "01" and "21." If the date code has a seventh digit, consumers should ignore the last digit and use the first six digits.

The model number and date code are stamped on a small white or silver sticker on the bottom of the coffeemaker.

The 10-cup Bunn coffeemakers have either a black or white plastic base and top. The word "BUNN(R)" is printed on the front of the machine in chrome

Consumers are being urged to unplug the coffeemaker and allow it to cool before checking to see if they have one of the recalled units.
