CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
Cleaning External Parts
Regular cleaning of the Brewer’s external

other liquids. The Housing and other external
components may be cleaned with a soapy,
damp, non-abrasive cloth.
2. The Drip Tray can accumulate up to 230 ml
(8 oz) of overflow. The Drip Tray and Drip Tray
Plate should be periodically inspected and
rinsed clean. To remove the Drip Tray
Assembly, simply slide it toward you, keeping it
level at all times to avoid spilling. The Drip Tray

dishwasher for cleaning or can be cleaned with
soapy water and rinsed thoroughly.
Do not dry the inside of the Water Reservoir
with a cloth as lint may remain.
De-Scaling Your Brewer
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 inter-
nal parts of the Brewer that come in contact
with water.
The Brewer should be de-scaled every 6
months to ensure optimal performance. It is
possible for calcium deposits to build up faster,
making it necessary to de-scale more often.
This Brewer is equipped with sensors to detect
when scale buildup is interfering with the
performance of the Brewer. When this is
detected, the amber light next to 'DE-SCALE'
will be illuminated.

CAUTION: Please rinse the Water Reservoir
thoroughly after cleaning to ensure that no
cleaners or cleaning solutions remain in
this area as they may contaminate the
water supply in the Brewer.
