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 De-Scaling in page 16 for more information.
Storing – When storing your Brewer, carefully empty the Drip Tray and make sure
the Water Reservoir is empty. Store your Brewer upright in a safe, dry, frost-free
environment.
