USING THERMAL CARAFE
• For best performance, rinse the carafe with warm water before brewing.

This brings up the temperature and improves the carafe’s thermal properties.

• Coffee is brewed directly into carafe through the closed brew thru lid. Always

check that lid is properly in place when brewing. Coffee may overflow if lid
is not properly in place. See instructions in "Brewing a Pot of Coffee."

• The carafe keeps coffee hot up to 4 hours so you can leave it away from

coffeemaker for serving. Always check that lid is properly closed in place
when not in use, this will ensure that coffee stays hot. See instructions in
"Sneak-a-Cup® Interrupt Coffeemaker Feature."
