CARAFE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
This symbol reminds you that glass is fragile and can 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.
• Do not place carafe in dishwasher.
• Do not use a cracked carafe or a carafe having a loose or weak-
ened 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 the carafe.
• 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.
