The serial number of your product is displayed at the back of your product or on the service sticker, typically found on the underside or back of your product. Below are some pictorial examples to help you. The location of serial number varies from phone to phone, but usually it is found beneath the battery which is attached to the phone. First, switch OFF the phone. Now gently remove the back case and also the battery. There you will see a sticker attached and when you see the information on it, you will find the serial number of the phone. On older brewer models, the serial number can be found on the main body of the brewer behind the Drip Tray. To locate, remove the Drip Tray and look into the Drip Tray cutout at eye level. If you cannot locate your serial number behind the Drip Tray, check on the side of the brewer, behind the Cold Water Tank.
Data PlatesThere are three data plates on the GPW gloveboxdoor. The center plate has the vehicle identification information informationincluding Manufacturer, Model, Serial Number, and Date of Deliverywhichis accepted to be the date of manufacture. If these plates arepaintedover be very careful in removing the paint as valuable informationaboutyour vehicle could easily be lost.
