• Do not allow all liquid to evaporate from the carafe while on the "Keep Hot" carafe plate
or heat the carafe when empty.
• Discard the carafe if damaged in any manner. A chip or crack could result in breakage.
• Do not use abrasive scouring pads or cleansers, they will scratch and weaken the glass.
• Do not place the carafe on or near a hot gas or electric burner, in a heated oven or in a
microwave oven.
• Avoid rough handling and sharp blows.
