De-Sc
aling Your Brewer
Mineral content in bottled or filtered water varies. Depending on the mineral content of the water,
calcium deposits or scale may build up in your Brewer. Scale is non-toxic but left unattended, it can
hinder Brewer performance. Descaling your Brewer helps maintain the heating element, and other
internal parts of the Brewer that come in contact with water.
The Brewer should be de-scaled every 3-6 months to ensure optimal performance or when there are
white deposits in the reservoir. It is possible for calcium deposits to build up faster, making it
necessary to de-scale more often.
To de-scale the Brewer:
Step 1: Make sure you have at least 8 ounces of undiluted white vinegar on hand. You will also
need a 10 oz ceramic mug (do not use a paper cup) and access to a sink.
Step 2: Fill reservoir with 8 ounces of undiluted white vinegar, place a ceramic mug on the Drip
Tray Plate.
Step 3: Close the brew head and perform a brew into the ceramic mug without adding a K-Cup®
