CARAFE CLEANING
Hard water can leave a whitish mineral deposit inside the glass carafe. Coffee
discolors these deposits, sometimes leaving a brownish stain inside the carafe. To
remove these stains, follow these simple steps:
1. Use a solution of equal parts white vinegar and hot water.
2. Let solution stand in glass carafe for about 20 minutes and then discard.
3. Wash and rinse the carafe thoroughly using a soft cloth. Do not use harsh
abrasive cleaners. These may cause scratches, which can lead to breakage.
