Helpful Hints
- One Cup at a Time: Your new Brewer makes one fresh beverage at a time. You’ll need to add fresh water each time you brew.
- 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.
- Customize Your Flavor & Brew: With the choice of over 200 varieties of K-Cup® Packs, your Brewer gives you endless options to customize the flavor and strength that’s perfect for you. Fill the Hot Water Tank with filtered or bottled water up to the FILL LEVEL indicator and brew
normally. - 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.
CLEANING AND MAINTAINING YOUR SINGLE SERVE BREWER
Cleaning External Parts
- 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.
- 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.
Cleaning the Hot Water Tank
To access the Hot Water Tank, press the Water Marking Button and the Water Fill Lid will pop open. Inspect the Hot Water Tank area and clean with a damp lint free cloth as necessary.
De-Scaling 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. Descaling your Brewer helps maintain the heating element, and other internal parts of the Brewer that come in contact with water. It is possible for calcium deposits to build up faster, making it necessary to de-scale more often.
Step 1: Make sure you have at least 8 ounces of undiluted white vinegar on hand.
Step 2: Fill Hot Water Tank with 8 ounces of undiluted white vinegar up to the FILL LEVEL mark, place a ceramic mug on the Drip Tray Plate.
Step 3: Close the lid, and perform a brew into the ceramic mug without adding a K-Cup® Pack.
Step 4: Pour the contents of the ceramic mug into the Hot Water Tank, careful the liquid will be hot, close the lid.
Step 5: After the prescribed period of time, perform a brew without adding a K-Cup® Pack. Empty the contents of
the ceramic mug into the sink, be careful as contents may be hot.
Step 6: Fill the Hot Water Tank with 8 ounces of bottled water, close the water fill lid, place a cup on the Drip
Tray Plate and perform a brew.
Step 7: Repeat Step 6 three times using bottled water (with no K-Cup® Pack in place) to cleanse the Brewer plumbing and get rid of any residual taste from the vinegar. The Brewer is now ready for normal use again.
