Cleaning External Parts
Regular cleaning of the brewer’s external components is recommended.
The following section provides instruction for standard cleaning procedures.
1.
Never immerse the brewer in water or other liquids. The Housing
and other external components may be cleaned with a damp, soapy,
lint-free, non-abrasive cloth.

The Drip Tray can accumulate up to 10 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 (fig. 18),
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, lint-free, non-abrasive cloth and rinsed thoroughly.
