4. Cleaning the piercing needle
The piercing needle is located on the
inside of the brewing chamber. Should a
clog arise because of coffee grounds, it
can be using a paper clip or similar tool.
Insert the paper clip to loosen the clog
and push it out.
CLEANING THE
WATER RESERVOIR
It is normal over time for discoloration,
spotting, or staining to appear in the water
reservoir. Results will vary depending on the
mineral content of the water used, but will not
affect the operation of the brewer. However, be
sure to clean the water reservoir regularly to
minimize buildup.
Clean inside the water reservoir with a damp,
lint-free cloth as necessary.
MAINTENANCE
Any other servicing should be performed by
an authorized service representative.
DESCALING YOUR BREWER
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. Though scale is
nontoxic, it can hinder brewer performance.
Descaling your brewer will help maintain the
heating element and other parts that come in
contact with water.
For optimal performance, descale your brewer
every 3 to 6 months. It is possible for calcium
deposits to build up faster, making it necessary
to descale more often. When the BREW/
CANCEL LED indicator flashes quickly 3 times
upon turning the unit on, this indicates the need
to descale.
To begin, you will need the following:
• 24 ounces of distilled white vinegar
• 12-ounce ceramic mug (do not use
paper cup)
• Access to a sink
Step 1: First Vinegar Rinse
• Fill water reservoir with 12 ounces of undiluted
white vinegar.
• Place the ceramic mug on the drip tray.
• Lift the brewer handle, but do not add a
coffee capsule.
• Close the brew head, and press and hold
BREW/CANCEL for 5 seconds to start the
cleaning cycle.
• During the cleaning cycle, the LED indicator
will flash until the cycle is complete.
• Once the vinegar is dispensed, discard it
into sink.
Step 2: Second Vinegar Rinse
• Repeat step 1.
Step 3: Fresh Water Rinse
• Repeat step 1 three times using fresh water
in place of vinegar.
• This will clean the brewer plumbing
and remove any residual vinegar taste.
The brewer is now ready for normal use.
