Ratio Six Carafe Cleaning / Disassembling

Removing Coffee Oils with Urnex Clearly Coffee

Coffee is full of oils – they’re part of what makes coffee delicious, but they also build up in your carafe and dripper. Luckily, removing them is easy! We recommend cleaning the inside of your Ratio carafe using Clearly Coffee from Urnex, which safely removes and prevents coffee oil buildup and limescale buildup.

Insert a paper filter into your filter basket or dripper. Add one packet of cleaning powder into the paper filter and run 4 cups of water through your Ratio machine.
After the cycle, allow the inside of your carafe to soak for 5-10 minutes, then discard the solution and thoroughly rinse with clean water.
For a deeper clean, use a brush to scrub the inside of your carafe after soaking.

If water has become trapped between the walls of your Thermal Carafe, follow the steps below to air-dry the unit.

Tools Needed:

Flat-head screwdriver
Phillips-head screwdriver
Soft cloth (to prevent scratches)

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Remove the Handle Covering

Place a soft cloth over the carafe to protect the surface.
Using a flat-head screwdriver, gently lift the handle covering from the lower portion to detach it.

2. Unscrew the Handle and Top Ring

Once the covering is removed, locate the small Phillips-head screw at the base of the handle.
Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to unscrew it.
Rotate the top ring counterclockwise until it loosens.
Lift and remove the lid.

Note: If the top ring does not come off easily, do not force it.

4. Remove the Silicone Gasket

If a silicone gasket is present, gently peel it off for cleaning.

5. Reassemble the Carafe

Reverse the steps: Reattach the silicone gasket, reinstall the top ring, secure the handle with the screw, and snap the handle covering back into place.
