De-Scaling Instructions

A. PREPARE  

Step 1:  To begin, you will need the following: 

At least 48 ounces of undiluted white vinegar  

Access to an empty sink 

A large ceramic mug (do not use a paper cup)

Step 2: Empty the water in the Water Reservoir.
Step 3: Disable “Auto Off” features. 

B. FILL AND CLEAN  

Step 1:  Pour approximately 48 ounces of the vinegar into the Water Reservoir.
Step 2:  Place a large mug on the Drip Tray Plate and run a brew cycle.  

DO NOT USE A K-CUP

® 

PORTION PACK

, just press the BREW Button. 

Pour the contents of the large mug into the sink.

Step 3:  Repeat the brew process without a portion pack until “ADD WATER”  

is indicated.

Step 4: Now let the Brewer stand for at least 4 hours while still on.
Step 5:  Discard any residual vinegar and rinse the Water Reservoir  

thoroughly.

C. RINSE  

Step 1: Ensure the Water Reservoir is filled with fresh water.
Step 2:  Place a large mug on the Drip Tray Plate and run a water brew cycle.  

Pour the contents of the large mug into the sink.

Step 3: Repeat brew process until “ADD WATER” is indicated. 
Step 4:  You may need to perform additional water brew cycles if you notice 

any residual taste.

NOTE: 

If “DE-SCALE” is still displayed after completing the procedure, 

repeat the de-scaling procedure above.

Service

Beyond these recommended cleaning and maintenance procedures this 

Brewer is not user serviceable. For service, please refer to the Warranty 

section of this guide. 

Storage 

Empty the Water Reservoir before storing, and take care to ensure that you 

store your Brewer in a safe and 

frost free

 environment. Please be sure to 

store your Brewer in its 

upright position

 to avoid water leakage from the 

inner tank. If you store the Brewer in a cold environment, you run the risk of 

water freezing inside the Brewer and causing damage. When you prepare to 

use it after storage, we recommend rinsing the Water Reservoir with fresh 

water and running three cleansing brews without a portion pack.
If you plan to move your Brewer to a different location, turn the Brewer  

off, unplug it, and empty the Water Reservoir. If your Brewer has been in  

an environment below freezing, please be sure to let it warm to room  

temperature for at least 2 hours before using.

Transport Brewer in the upright position to ensure inner tank does not leak 

through vent.
