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 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.

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

heating surface.
• Do not clean with steel wool pads,
abrasive cleanser, or any other
materials that may scratch.

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.
