      2a.  Drop the reusable coffee capsule into the  

brewing chamber. There is no need to snap it 
into place.

    2b.  Follow brewing instructions on page 11.

     Caution: There are two sharp needles in the 

brewing chamber that puncture the capsule, one 
above and one below. To avoid risk of injury, do 
not put your fingers in the brewing chamber.

 3.   After brewing, raise the handle and remove the  

reusable coffee capsule. 

Use caution, as the  

reusable coffee capsule will be hot.

 4.   Replace the capsule holder, ensuring that the arrow 

on capsule rim aligns with the arrow on the brewing 
chamber. Gently push the capsule holder to snap 
into place.

      NOTE:

 This coffeemaker is compatible with most 

reusable coffee capsules.

SINGLE-SERVE 
COFFEEMAKER CLEANING 
AND MAINTENANCE

CLEANING EXTERNAL PARTS

We recommend regular cleaning of the coffeemaker’s 
external components.

 1.   Never immerse the coffeemaker in water or  

other liquids. The housing and other external 
components may be cleaned with a soapy, damp, 
nonabrasive cloth.

 2.   To remove the drip tray, simply slide it toward you, 

keeping it level at all times in order to prevent spills. 
The drip tray and drip tray plate are dishwasher safe. 
Do not clean drip tray with cleansers, steel wool 
pads or other abrasive materials.

CLEANING THE CAPSULE HOLDER

Caution: There are sharp needles that puncture  
the capsule above and below. To avoid risk of 
injury, do not put your fingers in the capsule 
brewing chamber.

 1.   The capsule holder is top-shelf dishwasher safe (use 

low temperature cycle). To remove, lift the handle 
to open the brewing chamber. Grasp the top of the 
capsule holder and pull up.

 2.   

Cleaning the Funnel –

 To remove funnel from 

capsule holder, hold funnel in left hand, twist bottom 
away from you slightly and pull away from capsule 
holder. The funnel is top-rack dishwasher safe.

   

NOTE:

 The funnel may be tight the first few times 

you try to remove it; this is normal and will loosen 
with continued use.

 3.   

Cleaning the Exit Needle 

 The exit needle is located 

on the inside bottom of the 
capsule holder assembly. 
Should a clog arise because 
of coffee grounds, it can be 
cleaned using a paper clip or 
similar tool. Remove capsule 
holder from unit, then remove funnel from capsule 
holder and insert the paper clip into exit needle to 
loosen the clog and push it out.

     Replace funnel onto capsule 

holder by lining up tabs in 
funnel with notches on cap-
sule holder, twist toward you 
until it locks into place. After 
cleaning, replace capsule 
holder, being sure to align the  
arrow on the capsule holder 
rim with arrow on the brewing chamber.

 4.   

Cleaning the Piercing Needle –

 The piercing 

needle is located on the inside of the brewing  
chamber. Should a clog arise because of coffee 
grounds, it can be cleaned using a paper clip or 
similar tool. Insert paper clip to loosen the clog and 
push it out.

   

NOTE:

 If the POD SIZE & POD BREW buttons are 

flashing together, your unit has overheated. Please 
follow the instructions above to clean the piercing 
needle and resume use.

CLEANING THE WATER RESERVOIR

It is normal over time for discoloration, spotting  
or staining to appear in the water reservoir. Results will 
vary depending on the mineral content of the water 
used, but will not affect the operation of the brewer. 
However, be sure to clean the water reservoir regularly 
to minimize buildup.

Clean inside the water reservoir with a damp, lint-free 
cloth as necessary.

Descaling Your Single-Serve 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 tend to build up in most 
coffeemakers. Though scale is nontoxic, it can hinder 
performance from time to time.

Your SS-12 Coffee Center Brew Basics is designed to 
keep the internal heating element on the Single Serve 
side free from excess water which will limit any calcium 
buildup. However, if you feel more comfortable 
descaling your coffeemaker, please follow the  
following steps.

NOTE:

 Before descaling your coffeemaker, remember 

to remove the charcoal water filter from the water filter 
holder located in the water reservoir.
