• 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.
• Storing – When storing your Brewer, carefully empty the Drip tray and water reservoir.
Store your Brewer upright in a safe, dry, frost-free environment.
CLEANING AND MAINTAINING YOUR SINGLE SERVE BREWER
Cleaning External Parts
IMPORTANT: Make sure the Brewer is unplugged before cleaning Regular cleaning of the
Brewer’s external components is recommended. Allow to Cool.
1. Never immerse the Brewer in water or other liquids. The Housing and other external
components may be cleaned with a soapy, damp, non-abrasive cloth.
2. The Drip Tray can accumulate liquids. The Drip Tray and Drip Tray Plate should be
periodically inspected and cleaned with a damp soapy nonabrasive lint free cloth. The Drip
Tray and Drip Tray Plate should not be put into the dishwasher. To remove the Drip Tray
Assembly, simply slide it toward you, keeping it level at all times to avoid spilling.
• Brewing Into a Tall Mug – To brew into a tall mug, simply remove the Drip Tray Assembly and
place the tall mug on the Drip Tray Base.
• The Drip Tray – Any liquid overflow (from your cup or the Cold Water Reservoir) will be
caught in the Drip Tray. Be sure to empty the Drip Tray. The Drip Tray has a snug fit to ensure it
stays put in transit. • Clean Your Brewer Regularly – To keep your Brewer looking and
performing its best, be sure to clean the external and internal components on a regular basis.
See page 10 for more information.
Helpful Hints
• Initial Cleansing Brew – Before you use your Brewer for the first time, perform an initial cleansing
brew by running clean water through the brew cycle without using a K-Cup® pack.
• One Cup at a Time – Your new Brewer makes one fresh beverage at a time.
• The Right Water Makes a Difference – For the best tasting gourmet coffee, tea or hot cocoa, we
recommend using bottled or filtered water. We do not recommend using distilled or reverse
osmosis water. Water quality varies from place to place. If you notice an undesirable taste in your
cup of coffee such as chlorine or other mineral taste, we recommend you consider using bottled
water or water from a filtration system.
• Customize Your Flavor & Brew – With the choice of over 200 varieties of K-Cup® pack, your
Brewer gives you endless options to customize the flavor and strength that’s perfect for you. For a
strong, intense cup, select an Extra Bold K-Cup® pack (with up to 30% more ground coffee than
regular varieties). Fill the reservoir with filtered or bottled water up to the FILL LEVEL indicator and
brew normally.
