Information for the Thermal Carafe

The thermal carafe contains 10 cups of coffee at 125ml each.

It is designed as serving carafe and keeps the contents warm at maximum fill. The warming period can be essentially reduced in case of partial filling and residual quantities. It is best, if the carafe is rinsed with hot water prior to preparation.

The closure of the brewing lid is not 100% leak-proof, so that it can be easily opened after the coffee has cooled. Only lightly twist the cover for closing.

Use the filled carafe only vertically, do not bump hard and do not tilt. When pouring, turn the lid counterclockwise until the marking is above the pouring spout.

The double-walled insulating glass insert is mouth blown. Streaks or bubbles, which can appear like cracks, cannot be prevented. They do not inhibit its usability.

High temperature differences must be avoided, otherwise the insulating glass insert could shatter. Do not use any hard objects for stirring or cleaning. Do not place any tea filters

into the thermal carafe or fill with ice cubes.

If the glass is damaged, a risk of imploding the insert exists due to the vacuum. This could also occur at a later time without connecting the cause of the damage. Therefore never drink directly from the thermal carafe, do not reach into the carafe and do not use any hard brushes and such!

Always close the carafe with a lid and do not leave unattended near children!

Damages on the insulating glass insert are exempt from the warranty. Liability is not assumed for subsequent damages that occur due to careless handling.

Replace insulating glass insert

You may obtain a replacement for the insulating glass insert where you bought the appliance or you can

order it directly from Petra-electric. Please state the precise model description. You will find it on the bottom of the appliance.

Please wear safety glasses and safety gloves when replacing the insulating glass insert and make sure that no other person is in the vicinity.

Unscrew the bottom of the thermal carafe by turning it counterclockwise and remove the glass insert. Place the rubber seal on the edge of the new insulation glass insert, and then push the insert into the housing and screw onto the bottom by turning clockwise. The dowel of the glass

flask is extremely sensitive, it may not be damaged.

Putting into operation

Before first use or when the appliance has not worked for some time, make 2 operations without coffee powder and with max. water filling, then rinse filter and jug with hot water.

Preparing coffee

Pour cold water into the water container. The number of cups which are to brew can be seen on the water level indicator. The water level indication shows the number of brewed cups with 125ml of coffee each.

Swivel the filter holder to the front and insert the paper filter 1 x 4 folded along the embossed line. Make sure that the filter is within the filter holder by exerting light pressure. Fill in the necessary quantity of coffee.

Use approximately 5 - 7 grams of medium fine ground coffee per cup and according to personal preference. Put the thermal jug with the closed brewing lid under the filter. Connect plug with a safety socket and switch on.

The operation lamp shows the start of the brewing process. After completing the process, switch off the appliance and remove the carafe. The Drip stop prevents that the coffee continues to drip. Before making new coffee, the appliance has to cool down for some minutes.

Soluble coffee can be used in the filter without paper. Prepare tea by hanging the tea bags into jug. The jug must be used with the empty filter.

Cleaning and maintenance

Disconnect the appliance from the socket and let the coffee maker cool down. Never immerse the appliance in water. Use a damp cloth with washing-up liquid and rub dry afterwards.

Filter can be cleaned under running water or in a dish washer.

The jug is to be cleared only with warm water in the inside after each use. Never put it in a dish washer.

In case after some time there should be a film inside the thermal jug you can use a pill suitable for cleaning dentures to get it off. Fill in water plus the pill, and leave it some hours. Then rinse it several times. Do not use abrasive or scouring agents.

Dscaling

Like other hot water appliances the coffee maker has to be descaled periodically. A considerable longer brewing time and a higher noise level are an indication that the appliance needs to be descaled. The following indications are guidelines which refer to a daily use in the household.

Hardness Hardness Descaling degree intervals
1 water with 0-7° low descale a year calcium content	dH twice
2 water with >7-14° DH four times medium descale calcium content	a year
3 water with >14-21° dH every 6 high descale weeks calcium content
4 water with >21° very high descale calcium content	dH monthly

1^ corresponds to aprox. 0.18mmol/ Ca and MG ions

You can ask for the degree of hardness in your residential area at the responsible waterworks or the local administration.

Use a standard descending agent according to the application instructions.

Use a paper filter and put the jug in the coffee maker. Pour some descal ing agent, diluted according to the application instructions up to the maximum number of cups. If during the brewing process the appliance is switched off several times for some minutes, the descaling agent can work best.

Repeat this process with a new.
descaling agent each until the disturbing noise is removed.

Never pour hot descending solution into the water container.

Attention: After descending it is necessary to operate the appliance 2-3 times with a full container of water as done before the first use.

Damages caused by the non-observance of these instructions are not covered by the guarantee.
