Cleaning the Water Reservoir & Water Reservoir Lid

The Water Reservoir Lid and Water Reservoir should be periodically

inspected and cleaned.

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.

To clean the filter screen at the base of your Water Reservoir, empty the

Water Reservoir and follow one or all of the following procedures.

NOTE: If you are using a water filter inside the Water Reservoir, remove it
before cleaning.

SECTION 3

Cleaning & Maintenance (continued)

fig.

Rinse the filter screen with the strong force of water from your faucet.

If you have a sprayer, aim the water spray at the filter screen.

Fill the Water Reservoir with approximately two inches of clean water and
agitate (shake) the Water Reservoir.

Empty the Water Reservoir then fill it with clean water and return it to the
Brewer. If needed, repeat above procedures. CAUTION: Please rinse the Water
Reservoir thoroughly after cleaning. This will ensure that no cleaners or cleaning
solutions remain 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.

You should promptly de-scale if “DE-SCALE” is

indicated on the LCD Control Center (fig. 20).
However, even if “DE-SCALE” is not indicated,
you should continue to de-scale your Brewer

every 3-6 months. Properly follow the de-scaling
procedure described on page 15.

De-Scaling Instructions

A. PREPARE

Step 1: To begin, you will need the following:

At least 48 oz. of undiluted white vinegar

Access to an empty sink

A large ceramic mug (do not use a paper cup)

Step 2: Empty the water from the Water Reservoir.
Step 3: Disable “Auto Off” features.
B. FILL AND CLEAN

Step 1: Pour approximately 48 oz. of the vinegar into the Water Reservoir.
Step 2: Place a large mug on the Drip Tray Plate and run a cleansing brew.

DO NOT USE A K-CUP

PACK, just press the BREW Button. Pour

the contents of the large mug into the sink.

Step 3: Repeat the brew process without a K-Cup

pack until “ADD WATER”

is indicated.

Step 4: Now let the Brewer stand for at least 4 hours while still on.
Step 5: Discard any residual vinegar and rinse the Water Reservoir thoroughly.
C. RINSE

Step 1: Ensure the Water Reservoir is filled with fresh water.
Step 2: Place a large mug on the Drip Tray Plate and run a cleansing brew.

Pour the contents of the large mug into the sink.

Step 3: Repeat brew process until “ADD WATER” is indicated.
Step 4: You may need to perform additional cleansing brews if you notice

any residual taste.

NOTE: If “DE-SCALE” is still indicated after completing the procedure,

repeat the de-scaling procedure above.

Service

Beyond these recommended cleaning and maintenance procedures, this

Brewer is not user serviceable. For service, please refer to the Warranty

section of this guide.

Storage

Empty the Water Reservoir before storing, and take care to ensure that you

store your Brewer in a safe and frost free environment. Please be sure to

store your Brewer in its upright position to avoid water leakage from the

inner tank. If you store the Brewer in a cold environment, you run the risk of

water freezing inside the Brewer and causing damage. When you prepare to

use it after storage, we recommend rinsing the Water Reservoir with fresh

water and running three cleansing brews without a K-Cup

pack.

If you plan to move your Brewer to a different location, turn the Brewer

off, unplug it, and empty the Water Reservoir. If your Brewer has been in

an environment below freezing, please be sure to let it warm to room

temperature for at least 2 hours before using.

Transport Brewer in the upright position to ensure inner tank does not leak

through vent.
