Cleaning and Emptying the Reservoir
Discard the remaining water by removing the reservoir
lid and turning reservoir upside down over the sink. It is
recommended to empty the water reservoir between uses
and use fresh water for each brew. Do not immerse appliance
in water.
Storage
Empty the reservoir before storing and take care to ensure that
you store your Brewer in a safe and frost free environment.
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
condensation freezing inside the Brewer and causing damage.
When you prepare to use it after storage, we recommend
wiping the reservoir with a damp lint-free cloth and running
three cleansing brews without a K-Cup
®
portion pack.
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.
De-Scaling Your Brewer
Mineral content in bottled or filtered water varies. Depending
on the mineral content of the water, calcium deposits or
scale may build up in your Brewer. Scale is non-toxic but left
unattended, it can hinder Brewer performance. Descaling
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 or when there are white deposits in the
reservoir. It is possible for calcium deposits to build up faster,
making it necessary to de-scale more often.
