Cleaning the Gemini
Regular cleaning and preventive maintenance is essential in keeping your coffee brewer looking and working like new.
To clean the coffee brewer and components, prepare a mild solution of dish washing detergent and warm water.
CAUTION – Do not use cleaning liquids, compounds or powders containing chlorine (bleach) or corrosives. These
products promote corrosion and will pit the stainless steel. USE OF THESE PRODUCTS WILL VOID THE WAR-
RANTY.

Liquid Level Probe
Cleaning intervals for the probe are to be determined by the user or the service tech, based on water conditions. The
use of water filters, or the type of water filter that is being used can impact the service interval. Intervals can be from
one month to several years, however, replacing rather than cleaning the probe is preferable.

This procedure involves working with hot water and hot surfaces!
1. Unplug the power cord and shut off the water line.

remove the top cover.

™
scuff pad.

scale removing chemical. Repeat this step until the probe is clean.
