SINGLE-SERVE
COFFEEMAKER
CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
CLEANING EXTERNAL PARTS
We recommend regular cleaning of the
coffeemaker’s external components.
1. Never immerse the coffeemaker in
water or other liquids. The housing
and other external components may
be cleaned with a soapy, damp,
nonabrasive cloth.
2. To remove the drip tray, simply pull it
up, keeping it level at all times in order
to prevent spills. The drip tray and drip
tray plate are dishwasher safe. Do not
clean drip tray with cleaners, steel wool
pads or other abrasive materials.
CLEANING THE CAPSULE HOLDER
Caution: There are sharp needles that
puncture the capsule above and below.
To avoid risk of injury, do not put your
fingers in the capsule brewing chamber.
1. The capsule holder is top-shelf
dishwasher safe (use low temperature
cycle). To remove, lift the handle to
open the brewing chamber. Grasp the
top of the capsule holder and pull up.
2. Cleaning the Funnel – To remove
funnel from capsule holder, hold funnel
in left hand, twist bottom away from
you slightly and pull away from capsule
holder. The funnel is top-rack
dishwasher safe.
NOTE: The funnel may be tight the first
few times you try to remove it; this is
normal. It will loosen with continued
use.
3. Cleaning the Exit Needle – The exit
needle is located on the inside bottom
of the capsule holder assembly. Should
a clog arise because of coffee grounds,
it can be cleaned using a paper clip or
similar tool. Remove capsule holder
from unit, then remove funnel from
capsule holder and insert the paper clip
into exit needle to loosen the clog and
push it out.
Replace funnel onto capsule holder by
lining up tabs in funnel with notches on
capsule holder, twist toward you until it
locks into place. After cleaning, replace
capsule holder, making sure to align the
arrow on the capsule holder rim with
arrow on the brewing chamber.
4.
Cleaning the Piercing Needle –
The
piercing needle is located on the inside
of the brewing chamber. Should a clog
arise because of coffee grounds, it can
be cleaned using a paper clip or similar
tool. Insert paper clip to loosen the
clog and push it out.
