using the two front ribs as a guide, and snap 
  them into place from the top. 
2.  Cleaning the Funnel —
The Funnel can be 
removed from the K-Cup Holder by pulling 
on it until it pops off (fig. 24). The Funnel is 
dishwasher safe. To replace it, just snap it 
back onto the K-Cup Holder.
3.  Cleaning the Exit Needle —
The Exit Needle 
is located on the inside bottom of the K-Cup 
Holder. Should a clog arise due to coffee 
grinds, it can be cleaned using a paper clip 
or similar tool. Remove the K-Cup Holder 
Assembly and detach Funnel. Insert the 
paper clip (as shown in fig. 24) into the 
Needle to loosen the clog, then flush 
with water. The K-Cup Holder Assembly can be 
placed onto the top shelf of a dishwasher. 
NOTE: Use low temperature cycles in the 
dishwasher.
CAUTION: There are sharp needles that puncture the K-Cup above the K-Cup 
Holder and in the bottom of the K-Cup Holder. To avoid risk of injury, do not 
put your fingers in the K-Cup Assembly Housing.

Cleaning the Water Reservoir & Water Reservoir Lid
The Water Reservoir Lid or Water Reservoir should not be put into the 
dishwasher. They should be cleaned with a damp, soapy, non-abrasive cloth 
and rinsed thoroughly. Do not dry the inside of the Water Reservoir with a 
cloth as lint may remain.  CAUTION: Please rinse the Water Reservoir 
thoroughly after cleaning to ensure that no cleaners or cleaning solutions
 remain in this area as they may contaminate the water supply in the Brewer.
De-Scaling Your Brewer
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. 
The Brewer should be de-scaled every 3-6 months to ensure optimal 
performance. It is possible for calcium deposits to build up faster, making it 
necessary to de-scale more often.
