Cleaning the thermo jug
Hard water may leave white, mineral residues inside the thermo jug. The coffee itself
normally discolours these residues and leaves brown marks. In order to remove these
residues follow the steps below:
1. Take a half-and-half solution of water and vinegar.
2. Leave this solution in the thermo jug for about 20 minutes and pour it out afterwards.
3. Rinse the thermo jug thoroughly and wipe it dry using a dry, soft cloth. Do not use
any kind of abrasive agents as this could cause scratches which could again result
in cracks.
ATTENTION!
The thermo jug is not suitable for washing in a dishwasher!
