Maintenance Features:
- Cleaning:
- Turn off and unplug the brewer from the wall outlet.
- Regularly check and empty the Drip Tray for excess water or coffee. Wipe it clean with a damp cloth.
- Do not leave used coffee capsules in the Capsule Holder.
- Wipe down the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning pads.
- NEVER immerse the brewer, cord, or plug in water or any other liquid, and never place it under running water.
- Clean the Water Tank Filter, Drip Tray, Drip Tray Cover, K-Cup® Capsule Holder, and Brew Basket with warm, soapy water. Dry thoroughly before use. These parts can be placed on the top shelf of a dishwasher using low temperature cycles.
- Descaling:
- It is advised to descale the brewer regularly, typically every three months, depending on usage and local water conditions. Specific descaling products for coffee makers are available.
- To descale:
- Ensure the brewer is turned off.
- Fill the Water Tank with undiluted white vinegar or a descaling product according to its instructions.
- Place a large mug on the Drip Tray.
- Ensure no coffee capsule is in the Capsule Holder and close the top cover.
- Press both the Capsule Brew Button and the Ground Coffee Brew Button simultaneously to start the clean cycle. The machine will pump water until the tank is empty and then shut off.
- After allowing to sit, run another brew cycle without a coffee capsule. Empty the dispensed liquid (use extreme caution as contents may be hot).
- Fill the Water Tank with 8 ounces of distilled or bottled water and run a full brew cycle.
- Run three additional brew cycles using distilled or bottled water, each time without a coffee capsule, to clean the brewer and remove any residual taste.
- The brewer is then ready for regular use.
- Storing:
- Ensure all parts are clean and dry before storing.
- Store the appliance in its box in a clean, dry place. Do not store it while hot or wet.
- Do not wrap the cord tightly around the appliance; insert the line cord into the cord storage on the back of the coffee maker.
