You should promptly de-scale using the proce-
dures outlined below once the 'DE-SCALE' light
illuminates on the LED Control Center.
De-Scaling
a. PREPARE
Step 1:
Make sure you have at least 48
ounces (1.4 L) of undiluted white vinegar on
hand. You will also need an empty sink and
a ceramic cup (do not use a paper cup.)
Step 2: Empty the water in the Water
Reservoir.
b. FILL AND CLEAN
Step 1:
Pour the white vinegar into the
Water Reservoir and fill it to the line just
below the top edge of the clear viewing area.
Step 2: Place a ceramic cup in the Drip Tray
and run a brew cycle.
DO NOT USE A K-CUP
®
portion pack just press the Brew Button.
Pour the contents of the cup into the sink.
Step 3: Repeat the brew process until the
“add water” LED is ON (Water Reservoir is
empty), pouring the contents of the cup into
the sink after each cycle. We suggest using
the largest brew size to speed the process.
Remember to open and close the lid between
each cycle so the blue Brew light will flash.
Step 4: Rinse the Water Reservoir thoroughly
and fill with fresh water.
Step 5: Now let the Brewer stand for 4 hours
while still on. (The Auto-Off feature should
be turned off).
c. RINSE
Step 1:
Now perform a drain process.
Step 2: Empty and re-fill the water reservoir
with fresh water.
Step 3: Re-prime the brewer and re-fill the
water reservoir.
Step 4: Place a ceramic cup on the Drip Tray
and run a regular brew cycle without using a
K-Cup
®
. Pour the contents of the cup into
the sink. (remember, the hot water tank still
has white vinegar in it).
Step 5: Repeat the brew process, without
K-Cups
®
until the Water Reservoir is empty,
pouring the contents of the cup into the sink
after each cycle. We suggest using the largest
brew size to speed the process. Remember to
open and close the lid between each cycle so
the blue Brew light will flash.
Step 6: You may need to perform additional
rinse cycles if you notice any residual taste.
Storage
Empty the Water Reservoir and drain the brewer
before storing and take care to ensure that you
store your Brewer in a safe and frost free environ-
ment. It is suggested to store your brewer in the
upright position. If you store the Brewer in a cold
environment, you run the risk of water freezing
inside the Brewer and causing damage. When you
prepare to use it after storage, we recommend
rinsing the Water Reservoir with fresh water and
running three cleansing brews without a K-Cup
®
.
If you plan to move your Brewer to a different
location, turn the Brewer off, unplug it, empty
the Water Reservoir and drain the brewer. If
your Brewer has been in an environment below
freezing, please be sure to let it warm to room
temperature for 2 hours before using. If the
brewer is going to be exposed to freezing tem-
peratures the hot water tank should be drained
(see Section 1, page 8).
NOTE: If the amber 'DE-SCALE' light is still
illuminated on the LED Control Center after
completing the procedure, repeat the de-
scaling procedure above.
NOTE: The Brewer will continue to function even
when the amber 'DE-SCALE' light is illuminat-
ed.
However, if you do not de-scale soon after
it is displayed, continued scale build-up could
damage the Brewer.
If this occurs, the amber
light next to 'DE-SCALE will begin to blink to
alert you to the potential damage to the
Brewer if you do not de-scale immediately.
