The Housing and other external components may be cleaned with a soapy, damp, non-abrasive cloth. 2. The Drip Tray can accumulate up to 230 ml (8 oz) of overflow. The Drip Tray and Drip Tray Plate should be periodically inspected and rinsed clean. To remove the Drip Tray Assembly, simply slide it toward you, keeping it level at all times to avoid spilling. The Drip Tray and Drip Tray Plate are dishwasher safe.Cleaning the K-Cup ®Portion Pack Holder Assembly 1. Cleaning the Parts The K-Cup ®Holder Assembly is dishwasher safe. To remove from the Brewer, open the cover by lifting the Handle. 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. 2.

Do not dry the inside of the Water Reservoir with a cloth as lint may remain.De-Scaling Your BrewerMineral 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 inter- nal parts of the Brewer that come in contact with water. The Brewer should be de-scaled every 6 months to ensure optimal performance. It is possible for calcium deposits to build up faster, making it necessary to de-scale more often. This Brewer is equipped with sensors to detect when scale buildup is interfering with the performance of the Brewer. When this is detected, the amber light next to DE-SCALE will be illuminated. K-Cup Holder Assembly K-Cup Holder Funnel CAUTION: There are sharp needles that puncture the K-Cup above the K-Cup Holder and in the bottom of the K-Cup Holder.

SECTION 3CLEANING & MAINTENANCECleaning External PartsRegular cleaning of the Brewer’s external components is recommended. 1. Never immerse the base unit 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 up to 230 ml (8 oz) of overflow. The Drip Tray and Drip Tray Plate should be periodically inspected and rinsed clean. To remove the Drip Tray Assembly, simply slide it toward you, keeping it level at all times to avoid spilling. The Drip Tray and Drip Tray Plate are dishwasher safe.Cleaning the K-Cup ®Portion Pack Holder Assembly 1. Cleaning the Parts The K-Cup ®Holder Assembly is dishwasher safe. To remove from the Brewer, open the cover by lifting the Handle. 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. 2. Cleaning the Funnel The Funnel can be removed from the K-Cup ® Holder by pulling on it until it snaps off. The Funnel is dishwasher safe. To replace it just snap it back onto the K-Cup ®Holder Assembly. 3. 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 cleanedusing a paper clip or similar tool. Remove K-Cup ®Holder, insert the paper clip into the Needle to loosen the clog and remove it. The K-Cup®Holder is dishwasher safe. Cleaning the Water Reservoir and Water Reservoir LidThe Water Reservoir Lid should be cleaned with a damp soapy non-abrasive cloth. Lid should notbe put into the dishwasher. The Water Reservoir can be placed into the dishwasher for cleaning or can be cleaned with soapy water and rinsed thoroughly. Do not dry the inside of the Water Reservoir with a cloth as lint may remain.De-Scaling Your BrewerMineral 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 inter- nal parts of the Brewer that come in contact with water. The Brewer should be de-scaled every 6 months to ensure optimal performance. It is possible for calcium deposits to build up faster, making it necessary to de-scale more often. This Brewer is equipped with sensors to detect when scale buildup is interfering with the performance of the Brewer. When this is detected, the amber light next to DE-SCALE will be illuminated. K-Cup Holder Assembly K-Cup Holder Funnel CAUTION: There are sharp needles that puncture the K-Cup above the K-Cup Holder and in the bottom of the K-Cup Holder. T o avoid risk of injur y, do not put your fingers in the K-Cup Chamber . 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.
1011You should promptly de-scale using the proce- dures outlined below once the DE-SCALE light illuminates on the LED Control Center.De-Scalinga. PREPARE Step 1: Make sure you have at least 48 ounces (1.4 L) of undiluted white vinegar on hand. You will also need an empty sink and a ceramic cup (do not use a paper cup.) Step 2:Empty the water in the Water Reservoir. b. FILL AND CLEAN Step 1: Pour the white vinegar into the Water Reservoir and fill it to the line just below the top edge of the clear viewing area. Step 2:Place a ceramic cup in the Drip Tray and run a brew cycle. DO NOT USE A K-CUP ® portion packjust press the Brew Button. Pour the contents of the cup into the sink. Step 3:Repeat the brew process until the “add water” LED is ON (Water Reservoir is empty), pouring the contents of the cup into the sink after each cycle. We suggest using the largest brew size to speed the process. Remember to open and close the lid between each cycle so the blue Brew light will flash. Step 4:Rinse the Water Reservoir thoroughly and fill with fresh water. Step 5:Now let the Brewer stand for 4 hourswhile still on. (The Auto-Off feature should be turned off). c. RINSE Step 1:Now perform a drain process. Step 2: Empty and re-fill the water reservoir with fresh water. Step 3:Re-prime the brewer and re-fill the water reservoir. Step 4: Place a ceramic cup on the Drip Tray and run a regular brew cycle without using a K-Cup ®. Pour the contents of the cup into the sink. (remember, the hot water tank still has white vinegar in it). Step 5:Repeat the brew process, without K-Cups®until the Water Reservoir is empty, pouring the contents of the cup into the sink after each cycle. We suggest using the largest brew size to speed the process. Remember to open and close the lid between each cycle so the blue Brew light will flash. Step 6:You may need to perform additional rinse cycles if you notice any residual taste. Storage Empty the Water Reservoir and drain the brewer before storing and take care to ensure that you store your Brewer in a safe and frost free environ- ment. 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 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 ®. If you plan to move your Brewer to a different location, turn the Brewer off, unplug it, empty the Water Reservoir and drain the brewer. 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. If the brewer is going to be exposed to freezing tem- peratures the hot water tank should be drained (see Section 1, page 8). NOTE:If the amber DE-SCALE light is still illuminated on the LED Control Center after completing the procedure, repeat the de- scaling procedure above. NOTE:The Brewer will continue to function even when the amber DE-SCALE light is illuminat- ed. However, if you do not de-scale soon after it is displayed, continued scale build-up could damage the Brewer.If this occurs, the amber light next to DE-SCALE will begin to blink to alert you to the potential damage to the Brewer if you do not de-scale immediately. SECTION 4TROUBLESHOOTINGSITUATION SOLUTIONBrewer will not brew when used for the first time • Plug Brewer into an independent outlet. • Check to be sure that it is plugged in securely. • Plug into a different outlet. • Reset the power outlets’ circuit breaker if necessary. • Make sure that the Power Button has been turned on and the power light is illuminated. • The Brewer must be primed for use by filling the internal hot water tank before the first brew. All brew size LED’s will be flashing on the LED Control Center. (refer to page 6) • Brew/ Drain switch must be at Brew position • If Brewer is cold/frozen, wait for two hours for it to reach room temperature before powering on. Brewer will not brew • Brew/ Drain switch must be at Brew position • After placing the K-Cup ®portion pack in the K-Cup Holder, make sure that the Handle is pushed all the way down securely and the back lit blue Brew Button on the LED Control Center is flashing. • If the blue light next to ADD WATER on the LED Control Center is illuminated, add water to Water Reservoir or make sure the Water Reservoir is seated properly in its base. • If the blue light next to ADD WATER on the LED Control Center continues to be on even after refilling, contact Customer Service at 1-866-901-BREW, (1-866-901-2739). Brewing a partial cup • If a prime sequence has been performed, without a cleansing brew, the first cup may be “oversized”. The next cup brewed will be brewed to the proper selected size. • The Exit Needle may be clogged. (refer to page 9). • Clean K-Cup ®Holder if necessary and rinse under faucet. (refer to page 9). • A partial drain process may have occurred. The brewer will brew the next cup at the selected size. • The Water Reservoir may have been removed during brewing. Replace the Water Reservoir and perform a cleansing brew. • If the amber DE-SCALE light is illuminated, descale the Brewer (refer to page 9). • If you have repeated the descale procedure on your Brewer two times and the light is still on, contact Customer Service at 1-866-901-BREW, (1-866-901-2739). Brewer does not have power My brewer shuts off automatically • Check to make sure that the Auto Off Timer feature has not been set. If the green light next to AUTO OFF on the LED Control Center is illuminated, press the black button to turn off the Auto Off Timer feature. Drain process notes: • Drain / Brew Valve turned during a brew cycle: If this occurs, the brewing cycle is immediately stopped. Recovery: The brew that immediately follows may provide an improper volume, so perform a brew without a K-Cup ®. The next brew will be of the proper selected size. • Drain / Brew Valve turned to ‘DRAIN’ and back to ‘BREW’: The brewer is smart and knows if the Drain button has been pressed. If it has not been pressed, when the valve is turned back to ‘BREW’, the brewer will not require a Prime. • Drain / Brew Valve turned to ‘DRAIN’ and Drain button pushed, but tank not emptied. To brew, a prime will be required and then perform a cleansing brew. If any problems persist, contact Customer Service at 1-866-901-BREW (2739).
