CARE & CLEANING
Before cleaning, ensure the Brewer has
been turned off. Switch off at the wall
outlet, unplug the power cord and allow
the machine to cool.
CLEANING THE BREWER
HOUSING
Regular cleaning of the Brewer’s housing
and external components is recommended.
1. Never immerse the Brewer in water or
other liquids. Wipe the housing with a
soft, damp cloth then dry thoroughly.
NOTE:
Do not use abrasive scouring pads
or cleaners when cleaning the
housing as they may scratch the
surface.
2. The Drip Tray and Drip Tray Plate can
accumulate up to 12 oz. of overflow.
The water level indicator visible through
the Drip Tray Plate will pop up when
this occurs. The Drip Tray and Drip Tray
Plate should then be removed, emptied
and cleaned. To remove the Drip Tray
assembly, slide it toward you, keeping it
level at all times to avoid spilling. Wash
both parts in warm soapy water with a
soft cloth, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
The Drip Tray and Drip Tray Plate are also
top-shelf dishwasher safe.
CLEANING THE K-CUP
®
HOLDER
Regular cleaning of the K-Cup
®
Holder is
recommended.
1. Raise the Safety Locking Arm and
remove the K-Cup
®
Holder from the
Brewing Chamber (refer to Brewing with
the My K-Cup
®
Accessory, page 14)
2. Disassemble the K-Cup
®
Holder by
pulling downwards on the Funnel located
at the base of the Holder.
3. Wash both parts in warm soapy
water with a soft cloth, then rinse and
dry thoroughly. The K-Cup
®
Holder and
Funnel are also top-shelf dishwasher
safe.
NOTE:
The K-Cup
®
Holder houses a needle
in the inside base. Should a clog
arise due to coffee grinds, it can be
cleaned using a paper clip or similar
tool. Insert the paper clip into the
Needle to loosen the clog and push
it out. To avoid risk of injury, do
not put your fingers in the K-Cup
®
Holder.
4. After cleaning, place the Funnel back
onto the K-Cup
®
Holder.
5. Place the assembled K-Cup
®
Holder
back into the Brewing Chamber, aligning
the arrow on the K-Cup
®
Holder with
the arrow in the Brewing Chamber.
Use caution when doing this as there is
a sharp needle on the underside of the
Brewing Chamber Head that punctures
the K-Cup
®
.
