helpful hints
Initial Cleansing Brew – Before you use your Brewer for the first time, perform
an initial cleansing brew by running clean water through the brew cycle without
using a K-Cup® portion pack.
One Cup at a Time – Your new Brewer makes one fresh beverage at a time.
You’ll need to add fresh water each time you brew.
The Right Water Makes a Difference – For the best tasting gourmet coffee,
tea or hot cocoa, we recommend using bottled or filtered water. We do not
recommend using distilled or reverse osmosis water. Water quality varies from
place to place. If you notice an undesirable taste in your cup of coffee such
as chlorine or other mineral taste, we recommend you consider using bottled
water or water from a filtration system.
Customize Your Flavor & Brew – With the choice of over 200 varieties of K-Cups,
your Brewer gives you endless options to customize the flavor and strength
that’s perfect for you. For a strong, intense cup, select an Extra Bold K-Cup (with
up to 30% more ground coffee than regular varieties). Fill the Hot Water Tank
with filtered or bottled water up to the FILL LEVEL indicator and brew normally.
Brewing Into a Tall Mug – To brew into a tall mug, simply remove the Drip Tray
Assembly and place the tall mug on the Drip Tray Base.
The Drip Tray – Any liquid overflow (from your cup or the Cold Water Reservoir)
will be caught in the Drip Tray. Be sure to empty the Drip Tray. The Drip Tray has a
snug fit to ensure it stays put in transit.
Clean Your Brewer Regularly – To keep your Brewer looking and performing its
best, be sure to clean the external and internal components on a regular basis.
See page 10 for more information.
De-Scaling – 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. See
page 11 for more information.
Storing – When storing your Brewer, carefully empty the Drip Tray and make sure
the Internal Hot Water Tank is empty. Store your Brewer upright in a safe, dry,
frost-free environment.
