steps

unplug it and let the hotplate and jug cool. check the jug, handle and lid. don't test cracked glass with hot water, glue it or reuse a damaged handle.
- check the jug and lid
check the full model on the product page and compare the jug and lid shape. the lid must meet the anti-drip outlet in the position required by the coffee-maker manual.
- wash the new jug
wash the carafe and removable lid in warm soapy water and dry them. don't put the carafe in a dishwasher, microwave or on a hob.
- fit and check the jug
refit the lid and place the jug securely under the filter as instructed. during normal brewing, coffee should flow into it without leaking or backing up.
