Carafe Safety Precautions

This symbol alerts you to the potential danger for personal injury if
you fail to read and follow these safety precautions.
This symbol reminds you that glass is fragile and can break which
could result in personal injury.
• 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.
• 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 mate-
rials 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 break-
age.
• Do not bump, scratch, or boil dry.
• 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.
