De-Scaling
– 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. See De-Scaling in page 16 for more information.
Storing
– When storing your Brewer, carefully empty the Drip Tray and make sure
the Water Reservoir is empty. Store your Brewer upright in a safe, dry, frost-free
environment.

liquids.
2. The Drip Tray can accumulate liquids. The Drip Tray and Drip

remove the Drip Tray Assembly, simply slide it toward you,
keeping it level at all times to avoid spilling.

NOTE: Over time, discoloration, spotting or staining may appear in the Water
Reservoir. This is normal and will vary depending on the mineral content
of the bottled or filtered water used in the Brewer and will not affect the
operation of the Brewer.
Cleaning the Water Reservoir
Discard the remaining water by removing the water reservoir from the brewer, then
by removing the lid and turning the water reservoir upside down over the sink. The
water reservoir and lid are top rack dishwasher safe. They should be cleaned with
a damp, soapy, non-abrasive cloth and rinsed thoroughly.
NOTE: Do not dry the inside of the water reservoir with a cloth as lint may remain.
