Cleaning and
Maintenance
Cleaning External Parts
We recommend regular cleaning of
the brewer’s external components.
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. To remove the drip tray, simply slide it
toward you, 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 cleansers,
steel wool pads or other abrasive
materials.
Cleaning the Capsule Holder
1. The capsule holder is top-shelf
dishwasher safe (use low temperature
cycles). To remove, lift the handle to
open the brewing chamber. Grasp the
top of the capsule holder and pull
toward you. After cleaning, replace the
capsule holder, being sure to align the
arrow on the capsule holder rim with the
arrow on the brewing chamber.
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 to remove. The funnel is top-rack
dishwasher safe. To replace, line up tabs
in funnel with notches on capsule
holder, twist towards you until you feel it
lock into place. The capsule holder is
now ready to be used in unit.
Note:
The funnel may be tight the first few
times you go to remove it, this is normal and
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 and
insert the paper clip to loosen the clog
and push it out.
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.
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.
