brewer is opened unintentionally the pump will stop the brewing and all
illumination lights will be lit indicating danger of scalding and hot water
spitting from the brewer head.
Close the handle immediately to its position.
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.
•
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. Store your
Brewer upright in a safe, dry, frost-free environment.
