Storage
Empty the Internal Hot Water Tank and Cold Water Reservoir before storing.
See page 14. Store your Brewer in a safe, frost-free environment in an
upright position.
Storing the Brewer in cold temperatures may cause any residual
condensation to freeze inside the Brewer and could cause damage.
Before using your Brewer after storage, wipe the Cold Water Reservoir with
a damp, lint-free cloth and run three (3) cleaning brews (without K-Cups).
See page 8 for initial cleansing brew process.
Let Brewer rest at room temperature for at least 2 hours before
powering on.

Behind the Brewer is a convenient
compartment to hold the Power
Cord during transport or storage
(fig. 7).
