Emptying the Water Reservoir
1. Ensure that the Water Reservoir Lid is closed.
2. Place a cup on the Drip Plate then press and hold the BREW Button until all the
water has been dispensed. Note, there will be a delay of 4-5 seconds until water
starts to dispense.
Storage
Empty the Water Reservoir before storing and take care to ensure that you store
your Brewer in a safe and frost free environment. It is suggested to store your
Brewer in the upright position. If you store the Brewer in a cold environment, you
run the risk of condensation freezing inside the Brewer and causing damage. When
you prepare to use it after storage, we recommend wiping the Water Reservoir with
a damp lint-free cloth and running three cleansing brews without a K-Cup
®
Pack.
If your Brewer has been in an environment below freezing, please be sure to let it
warm to room temperature for 2 hours before using.
De-Scaling Your Brewer
Mineral content in bottled or filtered water varies. Depending on the mineral
content of the water, calcium deposits or scale may build up in your Brewer. Scale
is non-toxic but left unattended, it can hinder Brewer performance. Descaling your
Brewer helps maintain the heating element, and other internal parts of the Brewer
that come in contact with water.
The Brewer should be de-scaled every 3-6 months to ensure optimal performance
or when there are white deposits in the Water Reservoir. It is possible for calcium
deposits to build up faster, making it necessary to de-scale more often.
Step 1: Make sure you have at least 24 oz of undiluted white vinegar on hand.
You will also need a 10 oz ceramic mug (do not use a paper cup) and
access to a sink.
Step 2: Fill the water reservoir with 24 oz of undiluted white vinegar, place a
ceramic mug on the drip tray plate.
Step 3. Close the water reservoir and insert the K-Cup
®
holder and perform a
brew into the ceramic mug without adding a K-Cup
®
pack. Empty the
content of the ceramic mug into the sink, be careful as content may be
hot.
Step 4. Repeat the brew cycle until the water reservoir is empty and then allow
it to sit for at least 60 minutes.
Step 5. Fill the water reservoir with 24 oz of filtered or bottled water, close the
water reservoir and insert the K-Cup
®
holder and place a cup on the
drip tray plate and perform a brew.
Step 6. To clean the brewer plumbing and get rid of any residual taste from
the vinegar press and hold the Strong Brew button for 5 seconds
to activate the clean cycle. Repeat this if necessary until the water
reservoir is empty (with no K-Cup
®
pack in place)
Step 7. The brewer is now ready for normal use again.
