helpful hints
- Initial Cleansing Brew – Before you use your Brewer for the first time, perform an initial cleansing brew by running clean water through the brew cycle without using a K-Cup® portion pack.
- One Cup at a Time – Your new Brewer makes one fresh beverage at a time. You’ll need to add fresh water each time you brew.
- 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-Cups, your Brewer gives you endless options to customize the flavor and strength that’s perfect for you. For a strong, intense cup, select an Extra Bold K-Cup (with up to 30% more ground coffee than regular varieties). Fill the Hot Water Tank with filtered or bottled water up to the FILL LEVEL indicator and brew normally.
- 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. See page 10 for more information.
- 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. See page 11 for more information.
- Storing – When storing your Brewer, carefully empty the Drip Tray and make sure the Internal Hot Water Tank is empty. 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 Brewer’s external components is recommended.
- 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.
- 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.
Cleaning the K-Cup Holder Assembly
- Cleaning the parts – The K-Cup 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 Holder with one hand while pushing up on the bottom of the K-Cup Holder from underneath with the other until it releases. After cleaning, align the K-Cup Holder with the opening using the two front ribs as a guide, and snap into place from the top.
- Cleaning the funnel – The Funnel can be removed rom the K-Cup 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 Holder Assembly.
- Cleaning the exit Needle – The Exit Needle is located on the inside bottom of the K-Cup Holder Assembly. Should a clog arise due to coffee grinds, it can be cleaned using a clean household tool. Remove K-Cup Holder assembly and detach Funnel. Insert the household tool into the Needle to loosen the clog and push it out. The K-Cup Holder is dishwasher safe.
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.
NOTE: Over time, discoloration, spotting or staining may appear in the
Hot Water Tank. This is normal and will vary depending on the mineral content
of the bottled or filtered water used in the Brewer and will not affect the
operation of the Brewer.
Cleaning the Hot Water Tank
To access the Hot Water Tank, press the Water Marking Button and the Water
Fill Lid will pop open. Inspect the Hot Water Tank area and clean with a damp
lint free cloth as necessary. Close the Water Fill Lid when finished.
Emptying the Hot Water Tank
- Ensure that the Water Fill Lid is closed.
- 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 Hot Water Tank 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 Hot Water Tank with a damp lint-free cloth and running three cleansing
brews without a K-Cup. 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 Hot Water Tank. 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 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 Hot Water Tank with 8 ounces of undiluted white vinegar up to the
FILL LEVEL mark, place a ceramic mug on the Drip Tray Plate.
step 3: Close the lid, and perform a brew into the ceramic mug without adding
a K-Cup.
step 4: Pour the contents of the ceramic mug into the Hot Water Tank, careful
the liquid will be hot, close the lid. 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 eriod of time, perform a brew without adding a
K-Cup. Empty the contents of the ceramic mug into the sink, be careful as
contents may be hot.
step 6: Fill the Hot Water Tank with 8 ounces of bottled water, close the
water fill lid, 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 in place)
to cleanse the Brewer plumbing and get rid of any residual taste from the
vinegar. The Brewer is now ready for normal use again.
