USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance contains no user serviceable parts. Do not try to repair it yourself. Refer
it to qualified service personnel if servicing is needed. The Coffee Maker should be
cleaned on a regular basis to prolong the life of the machine and to guarantee optimal
brewing results.
TO CLEAN:
• Turn off the Brewer and unplug from the wall outlet (ill. o).
• On a regular basis, check the Drip Tray for excess water or coffee. Empty the
Drip Tray and wipe it clean with a damp cloth. Use extra care when removing or
emptying the Drip Tray, in order to prevent spilling any excess liquids from the Drip
Tray.
• DO NOT leave used coffee capsules in the Capsule Holder. DO NOT leave used
coffee grounds in the Brewer.
• Wipe down the outside surfaces of the Brewer with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
NEVER
use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning pads.
NEVER
immerse the
Brewer in water or any other liquid and NEVER place the appliance under running
water.
• Clean the Water Tank Filter, Drip Tray, Drip Tray Cover, K-Cup® Capsule Holder
and Brew Basket with warm, soapy water. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive
cleaners. Dry thoroughly prior to use. The Drip Tray, Drip Tray Cover, K-Cup®
Capsule Holder and Brew Basket can be placed onto the top shelf of a dishwasher.
Use low temperature cycles if cleaning the parts in the dishwasher.
DESCALING:
It is advised to descale the Brewer on a regular basis. Frequency of descaling the
Brewer depends on amount of use and your local water conditions. As a general time
frame, the Brewer should be descaled every three months. Specific descaling products
for coffee makers are available in stores and online.
Follow the specific instructions for the descaling product on the package from the
descaling product manufacturer.
• Make sure the Brewer is turned Off.
• Fill the Water Tank with undiluted white vinegar or if using a descaling product fill
according to the instructions on the package of the descaling product.
• Place a large mug on the Drip Tray and beneath the Brew Spout.
• Make sure there is not a coffee capsule in the Capsule Holder and close the top
cover.
• To start the clean cycle, press both the Capsule Brew Button and the Ground
Coffee Brew Button at the same time. They will illuminate. The Coffee Brewer will
pump water and will pause in between cycles. The Coffee Brewer will run 5 cycles
of approximately 30 seconds each cycle. After the 5 cycles are completed, the
Coffee Brewer will automatically shut off.
• After allowing to sit, run another brew cycle without adding a coffee capsule.
Empty the dispensed liquid that has accumulated in the mug. Use extreme
caution as contents may be hot.
• Fill the Water Tank with 8 ounces of distilled or bottled water and run a full brew
cycle.
• Run three additional brew cycles using distilled or bottled water, each time without
a coffee capsule. This will clean the Brewer and get rid of any residual taste from
the vinegar or descaler.
• The Brewer is now ready for regular use again.
