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 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 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.

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.
