SINGLE-SERVE COFFEEMAKER CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE CLEANING EXTERNAL PARTS We recommend regular cleaning of the Coffeemaker's external components. 1. Never immerse the Coffeemaker in water or other liquids. The housing and other external components may be cleaned with a soapy, damp, nonabrasive cloth. 2. To remove the drip tray, lift it up from finger slots on the side, keeping it level at all times in order to prevent spills. The drip tray and drip tray plate are dishwasher safe. Do not clean drip tray with cleansers, steel wool pads or other abrasive materials. CLEANING THE CAPSULE HOLDERS Caution: There are sharp needles that puncture the capsules above and below. To avoid risk of injury, do not put your fingers in the capsule brewing chamber. 1. The capsule holders are top-shelf dishwasher safe (use low temperature cycle). To remove, lift the handle to open the brewing chamber. Grasp the top of the capsule holder and pull up. 2. Cleaning the Funnel To remove funnel from pod capsule holder, hold funnel in left hand, twist bottom away from you slightly and pull away from pod capsule holder to remove. The funnel is top-rack dishwasher safe. NOTE: The funnel may be tight the first few times you go to remove it; this is normal and will loosen with continued use. 3. Cleaning the Exit Needle The exit needle is located on the inside bottom of the pod capsule holder assembly. Should a clog arise because of coffee grounds, it can be cleaned using a paper clip or similar tool. Remove pod capsule holder from unit, then remove funnel from pod capsule holder and insert the paper clip into exit needle to loosen the clog and push it out. Replace funnel in pod capsule holder by lining up tabs in funnel with notches on pod capsule holder, and twist toward you until it locks into place. After cleaning, replace pod capsule holder, being sure to align the arrow on the pod capsule holder rim with arrow on the brewing chamber. 4. Cleaning the Piercing Needle The piercing needle is located on the inside of the brewing chamber. Should a clog occur 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. 5. Espresso Capsule Holder The capsule holder is top-shelf dishwasher safe (use low temperature cycle). CLEANING THE HOMEBARISTATM REUSABLE FILTER CUP Simply dispose of coffee grounds, then hand-wash both the filter cup and filter, or clean on top rack of dishwasher. 18
