the temperature up or down, remembering that the temperature can only 
be between 187° and192° . 

NOTE: 

At high altitudes (over 5,000 feet) if boiling occurs use the tempera-

ture adjustment (+0 and -5 degrees) to lower the temperature.

Programming Your Brew Size

 The Brewer is preset with the Small Mug  

(7.25 oz.) as the default brew size. The default 
brew size allows the user to avoid scrolling

chosen most often.

To change the default brew size to your  

desired brew size:

1.

  Press  the MENU Button six times.

2.

   Using Left and Right Buttons, select your 

desired default brew size (fig. 17). 

3.

  Once the desired default brew size is selected 

press the MENU Button once to exit. The LCD

Cleaning External Parts

Regular cleaning of the Brewer’s external components is recommended.

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.

  

The Drip Tray can accumulate up to 12 ounces 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 should 
not be placed in the dishwasher. They should be cleaned with a damp, 
soapy, non-abrasive cloth and rinsed thoroughly.

Assembly Housing.

Cleaning the Water Reservoir & Water Reservoir Lid

The Water Reservoir Lid and Water Reservoir should be periodically 

inspected and cleaned.

The Water Reservoir Lid or Water Reservoir should not be put into the 

dishwasher. They should be cleaned with a damp, soapy, non-abrasive  

cloth and rinsed thoroughly. Do not dry the inside of the Water Reservoir  

with a cloth as lint may remain. 

To clean the filter screen at the base of your Water Reservoir, empty the 

Water Reservoir and follow one or all of the following procedures.

NOTE:

 If you are using a water filter inside the Water Reservoir, remove it 

before cleaning. 

!

1.

  Rinse the filter screen with the strong force of water from your faucet. 

2.

  If you have a sprayer, aim the water spray at the filter screen. 

3.

  Fill the Water Reservoir with approximately two inches of clean water 

  and agitate (shake) the Water Reservoir.
Empty the Water Reservoir then fill it with clean water and return it to the 

Brewer. If needed, repeat above procedures. 

CAUTION: 

Please rinse the Water Reservoir thoroughly after cleaning to ensure 

that no cleaners or cleaning solutions remain as they may contaminate the water 

supply in the Brewer.

De-Scaling Your Brewer

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. 

The Brewer should be de-scaled every  

3-6 months to ensure optimal performance. It  

is possible for calcium deposits to build up faster, 

making it necessary to de-scale more often.
You should promptly de-scale if “DE-SCALE” is 

displayed on the LCD Control Center (fig. 20). 

However, even if “DE-SCALE” is not displayed,  

you should continue to de-scale your brewer  

every 3-6 months. Properly follow the de-scaling 

procedure described on page 16.
