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® pack.
• 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 Flavour & Brew – With the choice of over 200 varieties of K-Cup® pack, your Brewer gives you endless options to customize the Flavour and strength that’s 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.
• 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.
• 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 MAINTENANCE

Cleaning External Parts

IMPORTANT: Make sure the Brewer is unplugged before cleaning Regular cleaning of the Brewer’s 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.

Cleaning the K-Cup® Pack Holder

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.

2. Cleaning the Exit Needle – The Exit Needle is located on the inside bottom of the K-Cup® pack Holder. Should a clog arise due to coffee grinds, it can be cleaned using a clean household tool. Remove K-Cup® pack Holder 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.

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 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.

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 descaled 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 descale 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® pack.
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.
