Cleaning the Water Reservoir & Water Reservoir Lid
The Water Reservoir Lid and Water Reservoir should be periodically
inspected and cleaned.
The Water Reservoir Lid or Water Reservoir should not be put into the
dishwasher. They should be cleaned with a damp, soapy, non-abrasive
cloth and rinsed thoroughly. Do not dry the inside of the Water Reservoir
with a cloth as lint may remain.
To clean the filter screen at the base of your Water Reservoir, empty
the Water Reservoir and follow one or all of the following procedures.
NOTE: If you are using a water filter inside the Water Reservoir, remove
it before cleaning.
1. Rinse the filter screen with the strong force of water from your faucet.
2. If you have a sprayer, aim the water spray at the filter screen.
3.
Fill the Water Reservoir with approximately two inches of clean water and
agitate (shake) the Water Reservoir.
Empty the Water Reservoir then fill it with clean water and return it to the
brewer. If needed, repeat above procedures.
CAUTION: Please rinse the
Water Reservoir thoroughly after cleaning. This will ensure that no cleaners or
cleaning solutions remain in this area as they may contaminate the water
supply in the brewer.
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 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. It is
possible for calcium deposits to build up faster,
making it necessary to de-scale more often.
You should promptly de-scale if the red Descale
Light is illuminated (fig. 10). However, even if the
red Descale Light is not illuminated you should
continue to de-scale your brewer every 3-6
months.
Properly follow the de-scaling procedure
described on page 12.
