Replace funnel onto capsule holder by lining up tabs in funnel with notches on capsule holder, twist toward you until it locks into place. After cleaning, replace capsule holder, being sure to align the arrow on the capsule holder rim with arrow on the brewing chamber. 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 cleaned using a paper clip or similar tool. Insert paper clip to loosen the clog and push it out (Figure 26). figure 26 Cleaning the Water Reservoir & Lid Neither the reservoir lid nor the reservoir should be put into the dishwasher. Clean them with a damp, soapy, non-abrasive cloth and rinse thoroughly. Do not dry the inside of the water reservoir with a cloth, as lint may remain. Caution: Rinse the water reservoir thoroughly after cleaning to ensure that no cleaners or cleaning solutions remain in this area, as they may contaminate the coffeemaker's water supply. De-Scaling Your Coffeemaker 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 coffeemaker. Though scale is nontoxic, it can hinder coffeemaker performance. De-scaling your coffeemaker will help maintain the heating element and other coffeemaker parts that come in contact with water. For optimal performance, de-scale your coffeemaker every 3 to 6 months. It is possible for calcium deposits to build up faster, making it necessary to de-scale more often. This coffeemaker is equipped with sensors to detect when scale buildup is interfering with the performance of the coffeemaker. When this is detected, DE-SCALE will be displayed on the control panel (see figure 27), at which point you should promptly de-scale. However, even if DE-SCALE is not displayed, it is still advisable that you de-scale your coffeemaker regularly. Note: Though the coffeemaker will continue to function even when DE-SCALE is displayed, not de-scaling at that point could damage the coffeemaker. figure 27 18

Cleaning the Water Reservoir
& Lid
Neither the reservoir lid nor the reservoir
should be put into the dishwasher. Clean
them with a damp, soapy, non-abrasive
cloth and rinse thoroughly. Do not dry the
inside of the water reservoir with a cloth,
as lint may remain.
Caution: Rinse the water reservoir
thoroughly after cleaning to ensure
that no cleaners or cleaning solutions
remain in this area, as they may
contaminate the coffeemaker’s
water supply.
De-Scaling Your Coffeemaker
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 coffeemaker.
Though scale is nontoxic, it can hinder
coffeemaker performance. De-scaling your
coffeemaker will help maintain the heating
element and other coffeemaker parts that
come in contact with water.
For optimal performance, de-scale your
coffeemaker every 3 to 6 months. It is possible
for calcium deposits to build up faster, making
it necessary to de-scale more often.
This coffeemaker is equipped with sensors
to detect when scale buildup is interfering
with the performance of the coffeemaker.
When this is detected, DE-SCALE will be
displayed on the control panel (see figure 27),
at which point you should promptly de-scale.
However, even if DE-SCALE is not displayed,
it is still advisable that you de-scale your
coffeemaker regularly.
Note:
Though the coffeemaker will continue
to function even when DE-SCALE is displayed,
not de-scaling at that point could damage
the coffeemaker.
