Maintenance Tips

• Clean lid, faucet, and sight gauge daily to prevent coffee oil buildup and ensure accurate fill visibility.
• Rinse immediately after emptying to avoid residue hardening inside the stainless steel liner and affecting taste quality.
• Disassemble lid components regularly and sanitize all beverage-contact parts using food-safe sanitizer for hygiene compliance.
• Wipe exterior stainless steel daily with a soft cloth and mild detergent; avoid abrasives to protect finish and markings.
• Flush with hot water before refilling to help maintain beverage temperature and reduce stale flavor carryover.
• Inspect faucet seals, O-rings, and sight gauge tubing regularly for wear or leaks and replace if needed.
• Keep Soft Heat docking contacts clean and dry to ensure proper heating performance and stable temperature holding.
• Do not submerge the server body—only wash removable parts to protect insulation and internal structure.
• Store with lid open after cleaning to fully dry and prevent moisture or odor buildup.
• Avoid drops or impact, as misalignment can reduce sealing efficiency and heat retention performance
