Cleaning the K-Cup® Holder 1. The K-Cup® holder is top-shelf dishwasher safe (use low temperature cycles in the dishwasher). To remove, lift the handle to open the brewing chamber. Grasp the top of the K-Cup® holder and pull towards you. After cleaning, replace the K-Cup® holder, being sure to align the arrow on the K-Cup® holder rim with the arrow on the brewing chamber. 2. Cleaning the Funnel - The Funnel can be removed from the K-Cup Holder by pulling on it until it pops off (see figure 27). The Funnel is top-rack dishwasher safe. To replace it, just snap it back onto the K-Cup Holder Assembly. figure 28 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 Brewer's water supply. figure 27 3. Cleaning the Exit Needle - The Exit Needle is located on the inside bottom of the K-Cup Holder Assembly. Should a clog arise due to coffee grinds, it can be cleaned using a paper clip or similar tool. Remove K-Cup Holder (as shown in figure 27). Insert the paper clip (see figure 28) to loosen the clog and push it out. CAUTION: There are sharp needles that puncture the K-Cup above and below. To avoid risk of injury, do not put your fingers in the K-Cup Assembly Housing. figure 29 19
