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 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

wet surface. Allow to cool before
washing or adding liquids.

heating surface.

abrasive cleanser, or any other
materials that may scratch.

• 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.

wooden, plastic, or rubber utensils.
Do not use metal utensils.

carefully to avoid serious burn injuries
which may result if breakage occurs
while carafe holds heated liquids.
