CARE AND CLEANING
AL WAYS UNPLUG the coffeemaker from the electric outlet before cleaning.
The exterior of the coffeemaker, the control panel area and the warming plate should only be
cleaned with a soft damp cloth.
CARAFE CARE
A damaged carafe may result in possible burns from a hot liquid. To avoid breaking:
1. DO NOT allow all liquid to evaporate from the carafe while on the warming plate and never heat
the glass carafe when empty.

oven.
5. Avoid rough handling and sharp blows.
6. DO NOT set a hot carafe down on a wet or cold surface.
