Installing The ConstantBrew Water Line
Installation Overview
Are you ready to impress your significant other, parents, or cat with your mad plumbing skills
with ease? Lets get started!
Directly below, we’ve provided the option for a shortcut installation method. It requires that you
have a ‘plastic’ water line (not copper or braided stainless steel) and don’t mind cutting it.
However, if you need to be able to disconnect everything and return it to its initial state (i.e. if
you rent or lease) continue on to the standard installation method on the next page.
Accelerated Installation Method (unreversible)
1. Identify and turn off water source.
2. Choose where you want to splice into your water line and slice it at a 90 degree angle (it
helps to put a towel below to catch the dripping water).
3. Remove the short run of tubing attached to Connect Point B1 on Assembly 1 (see below).
4. Connect one end of your spliced ice maker water line to where you removed the tubing
(Connect Point B1) and connect the other end to Connect Point C1.
5. Remove the transparent plastic cap from the reservoir on your JavaPod, and replace with the
ConstantBrew system.
6. Insert the tubing from (Connect Point A) to the port on the back of the ConstantBrew
system.
7. Turn on the water source and the shutoff valve on Assembly 1.
8. Read the instructions for using the ConstantBrew system.

Step #5 Confirm Assembly 1 shutoff valve is closed.
Before we open your ice maker water source shutoff valve, we want to make sure that the valve
on your Assembly 1 is closed so water doesn’t spray everywhere. The handle should be twisted
so that it is perpendicular to the ports at either end.
Step #6 Open ice maker water source shutoff
valve.
Now you can re-open (turn back on) the valve on your
ice maker box (water source).

Using The ConstantBrew Refill System
ATTENTION
You should always shut off the water valve:
a) Before you remove the ConstantBrew system from the water reservoir.
b) If the system will be unsupervised for long periods of time (i.e. vacation).
Under no circumstance is Drinkpod responsible for any damages caused from failing to
shut off the water valve.
Usage Tips
If you experience any dripping, use a wrench or pliers to tighten the hexagonal connector
(see below).
Due to the potential for scale buildup leading to the float valve becoming immobilized,
for household use, we suggest replacing your ConstantBrew system every 18 months. For
Commercial usage, we suggest replacing after 6 months. Use with a water filter is
recommended.
To maximize the life of the auto refill system, please shut off the water valve when you
are not using it.
Sometimes, users with higher than normal water pressure may experience the float valve
not shutting off soon enough (leading to over filling). Should this occur, the water
pressure to the system can be reduced by turning the shutoff valve to a midway position
(between open and closed).

• De-Scaling Mineral content in water varies from place to place. Depending on the mineral
content of the water in your area, calcium deposits or scale may build up in your Brewer.
Scale is non-toxic, but left unattended, it can hinder Brewer performance. De-scaling your
Brewer helps maintain the heating element and other internal parts of the Brewer that come
in contact with water.
• Storing – When storing your Brewer, carefully empty the Drip tray and water reservoir.
Store your Brewer upright in a safe, dry, frost-free environment.
CLEANING AND MAINTAINING YOUR SINGLE SERVE BREWER
Cleaning External Parts
IMPORTANT: Make sure the Brewer is unplugged before cleaning Regular cleaning of the
Brewers external components is recommended. Allow to Cool.
1. Never immerse the Brewer in water or other liquids. The Housing and other external
components may be cleaned with a soapy, damp, non-abrasive cloth.
2. The Drip Tray can accumulate liquids. The Drip Tray and Drip Tray Plate should be
periodically inspected and cleaned with a damp soapy nonabrasive lint free cloth. The Drip
Tray and Drip Tray Plate should not be put into the dishwasher. To remove the Drip Tray
Assembly, simply slide it toward you, keeping it level at all times to avoid spilling.
• Brewing Into a Tall Mug – To brew into a tall mug, simply remove the Drip Tray Assembly and
place the tall mug on the Drip Tray Base.
• The Drip Tray – Any liquid overflow (from your cup or the Cold Water Reservoir) will be
caught in the Drip Tray. Be sure to empty the Drip Tray. The Drip Tray has a snug fit to ensure it
stays put in transit. • Clean Your Brewer Regularly – To keep your Brewer looking and
performing its best, be sure to clean the external and internal components on a regular basis.
Helpful Hints
• Initial Cleansing Brew – Before you use your JavaPOD Brewer for the first time, perform an initial
cleansing brew by running clean water through the brew cycle without using a K-Cupack.
• One Cup at a Time – Your new Brewer makes one fresh beverage at a time.
• The Right Water Makes a Difference – For the best tasting gourmet coffee, tea or hot cocoa, we
recommend using bottled or filtered water. We do not recommend using distilled or reverse
osmosis water. Water quality varies from place to place. If you notice an undesirable taste in your
cup of coffee such as chlorine or other mineral taste, we recommend you consider using bottled
water or water from a filtration system.
• Customize Your Flavor & Brew With the choice of over 200 varieties of K-Cup® pack, your
Brewer gives you endless options to customize the flavor and strength thats perfect for you. For a
strong, intense cup, select an Extra Bold K-Cup® pack (with up to 30% more ground coffee than
regular varieties). Fill the reservoir with filtered or bottled water up to the FILL LEVEL indicator and
brew normally.

background
Cleaning and Emptying the Reservoir
Discard the remaining water by removing the reservoir lid and turning reservoir upside down over
the sink. It is recommended to empty the water reservoir between uses and use fresh water for
each brew. Do not immerse appliance in water.
Storage
Empty the 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 reservoir
with a damp lint-free cloth and running three rinse 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.
CAUTION: There are sharp needles that
puncture the K-Cup® pack above the K-
Cup® pack Holder and in the bottom of
the K-Cup® pack Holder. To avoid risk of
injury, do not put your fingers in the K-
Cup® pack Assembly Housing.
Cleaning the K-Cup® pack Holder Assembly
1. Cleaning the Parts The K-Cup® pack Holder Assembly can be placed onto the top shelf of a
dishwasher. NOTE: Use low temperature cycles in the dishwasher. To remove from the Brewer,
lift the front face of the Brewer.
Grasp the top of the K-Cup® pack Holder with one hand while twist clockwise on the bottom of
the K-Cup® pack Holder to unlock it. After cleaning, align the opening of the bottom to the rib of
the holder and lock the bottom with anti-clockwise direction.
2. Cleaning the Funnel The Funnel can be removed from the K-Cup® pack Holder by pulling on
it until it snaps off (fig. 1). The Funnel is dishwasher safe. To replace it, just snap it back onto the
K-Cup® pack Holder Assembly.
3. Cleaning the Exit Needle The Exit Needle is located on the inside bottom of the K-Cup® pack
Holder Assembly. Should a clog arise due to coffee grinds, it can be cleaned using a clean
household tool. Remove K-Cup® pack Holder assembly and detach Funnel. Insert the household
tool into the Needle to loosen the clog and push it out. The K-Cup® pack Holder is dishwasher
safe.

Step 4: Start a brew but power off the Brewer just after it starts to dispense and then allow it to
sit for at least 30 minutes.
Step 5: After the prescribed period of time, perform a brew without adding a K-Cup® pack.
Empty the contents of the ceramic mug into the sink, be careful as contents may be hot.
Step 6: Fill the reservoir with 8 ounces of bottled water, close the brew head, place a cup on the
Drip Tray Plate and perform a brew.
Step 7: Repeat Step 6 three times using bottled water (with no K-Cup® pack in place) to clean
the Brewer plumbing and get rid of any residual taste from the vinegar. The Brewer is now ready
for normal use again.
DE-SCALING YOUR JavaPOD
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 reservoir. It is possible for calcium deposits to build up faster, making it
necessary to de-scale more often.
To de-scale the Brewer:
Step 1: Make sure you have at least 8 ounces 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 reservoir with 8 ounces of undiluted white vinegar, place a ceramic mug on the Drip
Tray Plate.
Step 3: Close the brew head and perform a brew into the ceramic mug without adding a K-Cup®
