Setup

Operating Instructions

Using the replacement carafe is similar to using your original carafe.

2. Brewing: Place the carafe with its lid securely on the coffee maker's warming plate before starting the brewing cycle. The lid is designed to allow coffee to drip through during brewing and helps maintain temperature.
3. Pouring: The ergonomic black handle provides a comfortable grip, and the drip-free spout ensures precise pouring without spills.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning will prolong the life of your carafe and ensure optimal coffee taste.

• Daily Cleaning: After each use, empty any remaining coffee. Wash the carafe and lid with warm, soapy water. A soft brush may be used for the interior. Rinse thoroughly.
• Dishwasher Safe: The glass carafe is dishwasher safe for convenient cleaning. Place it on the top rack if possible. The lid can also be washed in the dishwasher.
• Stain Removal: For stubborn coffee stains, fill the carafe with warm water and a small amount of white vinegar or a specialized coffee pot cleaner. Let it soak for 30 minutes, then scrub and rinse.
• Care: Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the glass or plastic components.
