SEVERIN KA 9485 Instrucciones De Uso página 12

The interior of the heat-retaining carafe
insert consists of high quality double-walled
glass with a vacuum in-between for better
insulation. Any streaks or bubble marks
inside the carafe looking like bubbles or
scratches do not affect its functional use nor
its heat-retaining ability.
In case the glass is damaged for one or
the other reason as mentioned below,
there is a risk that the glass carafe
implodes. This might happen quite some
time after the glass carafe has actually been
damaged.
∙ Therefore do not drink out of the carafe
and do not put your hand into it. Always
close the carafe with its screw cap. The
coffee can be poured out easily by half
a turn of the cap, without removing the
cap. Do not leave the vacuum carafe
unattended near where children may
reach it.
To prevent damage to the glass carafe:
∙ Avoid shocks and great differences in
temperature.
∙ Do not stir in the carafe, for example with
a metal spoon.
∙ Do not use hard brushes or abrasive
cleaning agents.
∙ Do not wipe the inside with a cloth. Dust
particles may cut the glass (similar to a
glass-cutter).
∙ Do not wash in a dishwasher.
∙ Do not use in a microwave oven.
Descaling
∙ Depending on the water quality (lime
content) in your area as well as the
frequency of use, all thermal household
appliances using hot water need
descaling (i.e. removal of lime deposits)
