Introduction
These instructions tell you how to take apart the Presto coffee maker and recover pieces such as two 4349806 Thermal Switches, a small heating wire, and some short wires with spade connectors. The deconstruction guide is easy to follow and only two tools are recommended, a Phillips #2 screwdriver and needle-nose pliers. The only hazard is to be careful of thermal paste when removing the Thermal Switches.
