break which could result in personal injury.
This symbol alerts you to the potential danger for personal
injury if you fail to read and follow these safety precautions.
To Clean Carafe and Filter Basket:
Wash carafe by hand in hot, soapy water or in top rack of

then snap onto other pin.
To remove brew basket, open lid and lift straight up. Brew

Usage Tips
• When using a paper filter always use a good quality, #4
cone filter to obtain the best possible results.
• Take care not to spill loose coffee grounds between filter
and filter basket.
• Make sure filter basket is securely in place.
• The carafe lid must be properly attached to carafe.
• The carafe must be placed properly and level on Keep-Hot
Plate before starting brew cycle.
• When using the Pause ’N Serve feature, replace carafe
within 20 seconds to prevent overflow of coffee grounds
and water from filter basket.
• Do not use a cracked carafe or a carafe having a loose or
weakened handle.
• This carafe is designed to be used only on the Keep-Hot Plate of
your coffeemaker. Do not use on a gas or electric rangetop, or in a
microwave or conventional oven.
• To avoid breakage, handle carafe with care. Avoid impact. Glass
will break as a result of impact. Use care when filling with water to
avoid hitting faucet.
• Do not place hot carafe on cool or wet surface. Allow to cool
before washing or adding liquids.
• Do not set empty carafe on a hot heating surface.
• Do not clean with steel wool pads, abrasive cleanser, or any other
materials that may scratch.
• Do not place hands inside carafe. When handling, be careful if
wearing any hand jewelry, especially diamond rings. Jewelry can
scratch the glass, which increases possibility of breakage.
• Do not bump, scratch, or boil dry.
• Discard carafe if it is cracked, scratched, or heated while empty
for an extended period of time.
• To avoid accidents, do not pour in the direction of people.
• If stirring in the carafe, use only wooden, plastic, or rubber
utensils. Do not use metal utensils.
• Follow the above safety precautions carefully to avoid serious
burn injuries which may result if breakage occurs while carafe
holds heated liquids.
