Operating Your Coffee Maker

USING THE THERMAL CARAFE:

The stainless steel thermal carafe features a double-walled, vacuum-insulated design that will keep coffee hot – and flavorful – for hours. It’s a unique, easy-to-use design with features you should know about before enjoying great-tasting coffee.

Carafe Tray

Once your coffee is brewed, it needs no external heating to keep it warm so there is no warming plate. Instead, there is a carafe tray to position the carafe while your coffee is brewing.

Bottom of the Carafe is Hot

Immediately After Brewing

After brewing, the carafe can be quite warm. Use discretion when placing the carafe on unprotected surfaces immediately after brewing.

“Brew-Through” Lid

The lid is designed so that the carafe will accept hot, fresh coffee from the brew basket while the lid is on. Before brewing be sure the lid is secure. Do not turn, or unlock, the lid to brew or the lid could fall off later while you are pouring coffee.

The Lid Makes Pouring Easy

The special lid design allows you to pour coffee without turning a stopper or pressing a button.

To Serve: Make sure the pouring indentation in the carafe lid is aligned with the pouring spout, then simply tilt and pour.
