Setup

- Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash the carafe and lid thoroughly with warm, soapy water. Rinse completely and dry.

Operating Instructions
The KRUPS SS-986922 Carafe functions as the coffee collection vessel for your compatible KRUPS coffee maker. Follow these steps for typical operation:
- Prepare Coffee Maker: Ensure your coffee maker is clean and ready for brewing, with water in the reservoir and coffee grounds in the filter basket.
- Position Carafe: Place the carafe with its lid securely on the coffee maker's warming plate. The lid should be properly seated to activate the drip-stop feature (if applicable to your model) and direct brewed coffee into the carafe.
- Brew Coffee: Start the brewing cycle on your coffee maker according to its specific instructions.
- Serve: Once brewing is complete, carefully remove the carafe from the warming plate using the handle. Pour coffee as desired.
- Return Carafe: For best temperature retention, return the carafe to the warming plate after pouring, if your coffee maker has this feature.
Caution: The warming plate and carafe may become hot during and after brewing. Handle with care.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning will help maintain the appearance and hygiene of your carafe.
- Daily Cleaning: After each use, empty any remaining coffee. Wash the carafe and lid with warm, soapy water. Use a soft sponge or brush to clean the interior and exterior. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
- Stain Removal: For stubborn coffee stains, fill the carafe with warm water and add a small amount of baking soda or a specialized coffee pot cleaner. Let it soak for a few hours or overnight, then scrub and rinse well.
- Dishwasher Use: The glass carafe is generally dishwasher safe. However, to preserve the finish of the lid and handle, hand washing is recommended. If using a dishwasher, place the carafe on the top rack.
- Drying: Allow the carafe and lid to air dry completely or dry with a clean cloth before storing.
- Storage: Store the carafe in a safe place where it will not be easily knocked over or damaged.
Warning: Avoid using abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can scratch or damage the carafe's surface.
