CLEANING AND MAINTAINING YOUR SINGLE SERVE BREWER Cleaning External Parts CAUTION : Make sure the Brewer is unplugged before cleaning and allow to cool. Regular cleaning of the Brewer's external components is recommended. 1. Never immerse the Brewer in water or other liquids. The housing and other external components may be cleaned with a soapy, damp, non-abrasive cloth. 2. The Drip Tray can accumulate liquids. The Drip Tray and Drip Tray Plate should be periodically inspected and cleaned with a damp soapy nonabrasive lint free cloth. The Drip Tray and Drip Tray Plate should not be put into the dishwasher. To remove the Drip Tray, simply Lift upward, keeping it level at all times to avoid spilling. Cleaning the K-Cup® Assembly Housing 1. Cleaning the Parts - The K-Cup® Assembly Housing can be placed on the top rack of a dishwasher. NOTE: Use low temperature cycles in the dishwasher. To remove from the Brewer, lift the Brew Head, then grasp the top of the K-Cup® Assembly Housing with one hand while pushing up on the bottom of the K-Cup® Assembly Housing from underneath with the other until it releases. After cleaning, align the K-Cup® Assembly Housing with the opening using the two front ribs as a guide, and snap into place from the top. 2. Cleaning the Funnel - The funnel can be removed from the K-Cup® Assembly Housing by pulling on it until it snaps off (fig. 1). The funnel is dishwasher safe. To replace it, snap it back onto the K-Cup® Assembly Housing. 3. Cleaning the Needles - The exit needle is FIGURE 1 located on the inside bottom of the K-Cup® Assembly Housing. Should a clog arise due to coffee grinds, it can 14 be cleaned using a paper clip or similar tool. Remove K-Cup® Assembly Housing and detach funnel. Insert the household tool into the ! needle to loosen the clog and push it out. The K-Cup® Assembly Housing is dishwasher safe. A paper clip can also be used to clean the Brew Head Needle located inside of the Brew Head. CAUTION:There are sharp needles that puncture the K-Cup® pack above the K-Cup® Assembly Housing and in the bottom of the K-Cup® Assembly FIGURE 2 Housing. To avoid risk of injury, do not put your fingers in the K-Cup® Assembly Housing. Cleaning and Emptying the Reservoir Discard the remaining water by removing the Water Reservoir Lid and turning the Water Reservoir upside down over the sink. The Water Reservoir Lid should NOT be put into the dishwasher. It should be cleaned with a damp, soapy, nonabrasive cloth and rinsed thoroughly. The Water Reservoir is dishwasher safe. NOTE: DO NOT dry the inside of the Water Reservoir with a cloth as lint may remain. CAUTION: Please rinse the Water Reservoir thoroughly after cleaning to ensure that no cleaners or cleaning solutions remain in this area as they may contaminate the water supply in the Brewer. Do not immerse appliance in water. Storage Empty the Water Reservoir before storing and take care to ensure that you store your Brewer in a safe and frost free environment. It is suggested to store your Brewer in the upright position. If you store the Brewer in a cold environment, you run the risk of condensation freezing inside the Brewer and causing damage. When you prepare to use it after storage, we recommend wiping the Water Reservoir with a damp lint-free cloth and running three cleansing brews without a K-Cup® pack. 15
