• Do not allow all liquid to evaporate from the carafe while on the "Keep Hot"

plate or heat the carafe when empty.

• Discard the carafe if damaged in any manner. A chip or crack could result in

breakage.

• Do not use abrasive scouring pads or cleansers, they will scratch and weaken

the glass.

• Do not place the carafe on or near a hot gas or electric burner, in a heated oven

or in a microwave oven.
