Cleaning the Thermal Carafe

Hard water can leave a whitish stain on the inside
of the carafe, and coffee and tea may then turn
this stain brown.
To remove carafe stains:
1. Fill the carafe with a solution of equal parts
water and vinegar and let the solution stand in
the carafe for approximately 20 minutes.
2. Discard the solution and wash and rinse
the carafe.
Do not use harsh abrasive cleansers
to clean the carafe.
