FIGURE 1 Cleaning and Emptying the Reservoir Discard the remaining water by removing the reservoir lid and turning reservoir upside down over the sink. It is recommended to empty the water reservoir between uses and use fresh water for each brew. Do not immerse appliance in water. Storage Empty the 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 reservoir with a damp lint-free cloth and running three cleansing brews without a K-Cup® pack. If your Brewer has been in an environment below freezing, please be sure to let it warm to room temperature for 2 hours before using. De-Scaling Your Brewer Mineral content in bottled or filtered water varies. Depending on the mineral content of the water, calcium deposits or scale may build up in your Brewer. Scale is non-toxic but left unattended, it can hinder Brewer performance. Descaling your Brewer helps maintain the heating element, and other internal parts of the Brewer that come in contact with water. The Brewer should be de-scaled every 3-6 months to ensure optimal performance or when there are white deposits in the reservoir. It is possible for calcium deposits to build up faster, making it necessary to de-scale more often. 12 BVMC-KG5_11ESM1.indd 13-14 13 1/30/13 11:05 AM
