Regular Maintenance

To remove the K-Cup® pod holder from
the brewer, lift the handle and grasp
the top of the K-Cup® pod holder
with one hand while pushing up on
the bottom of the K-Cup® pod holder
from underneath with the other until
it releases. After cleaning, align the
K-Cup® pod holder with the opening,
using the two front ribs as a guide,
and snap into place from the top.
Funnel 
Washing the funnel ensures a fresh
beverage experience. The funnel
should be washed regularly and can
be removed from the K-Cup® pod
holder by pulling on it until it pops off.
To replace it, orient the snaps to the
indent and just snap it back onto the
K-Cup® pod holder.

Exit Needle
Remove the pod holder assembly
and detach the funnel. Locate the
exit needle on the inside bottom
of the K-Cup® pod holder. Insert a
straightened paper clip into the exit
needle to loosen any coffee grounds.
CAUTION: There are sharp needles that puncture the K-Cup® pod above the K-Cup® pod holder and in the
bottom of the K-Cup® pod holder. To avoid risk of injury, do not put your fingers in the K-Cup® pod holder.
NOTE: Always remove and dispose of the used K-Cup® pod after brewing.
Entrance Needle
Lift the brewer handle and locate
the entrance needle on the
underside of the lid. To clean the
holes in the needle, hold the brewer
handle in the upward position; with
your other hand, carefully insert a
straightened paper clip into all the
holes. Gently move it around to
loosen any coffee grounds. Lower
the handle completely and run a
cleansing brew two times. Do not
insert a K-Cup® pod.
