Regular cleaning of the brewer’s external components is recommended.
CAUTION:
There are sharp needles that puncture the K-Cup pack above the K-Cup Pack Holder and in the bottom of the K-Cup Pack Holder. To avoid risk of injury, do not put your fingers in the K-Cup Pack Assembly Housing.
The Water Reservoir Lid and Water Reservoir should be periodically inspected and cleaned.
The Water Reservoir Lid or Water Reservoir should not be put into the dishwasher. They should be cleaned with a damp, soapy, non-abrasive cloth and rinsed thoroughly. Do not dry the inside of the Water Reservoir with a cloth as lint may remain.
To clean the filter screen at the base of your Water Reservoir, empty the Water Reservoir and follow one or all of the following procedures.
NOTE:
If you are using a water filter inside the Water Reservoir, remove it before cleaning.
CAUTION:
Please rinse the Water Reservoir thoroughly after cleaning. This will ensure that no cleaners or
cleaning solutions remain in this area as they may contaminate the water supply in the brewer.
The brewer should be de-scaled every 3-6 months to ensure optimal performance. It is possible for calcium deposits to build up faster, making it necessary to de-scale more often.
You should promptly de-scale if the red Descale Light is illuminated (fig. 3). However, even if the red Descale Light is not illuminated you should continue to de-scale your brewer every 3-6 months.
