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 The Brewer should be de-scaled every 3-6 months to ensure optimal performance or when there are white deposits in the Water Reservoir. It is possible for calcium deposits to build up faster, making it necessary to de-scale more often. The three Serving Size Indicators will flash indicating the Brewer needs to be de-scaled. 1. Make sure you have at least 40 ounces of undiluted white vinegar on hand. You will also need a 10 oz ceramic mug (do not use a paper cup) and access to a sink. 2. Fill the Water Reservoir with 40 ounces of undiluted white vinegar, place a ceramic mug on the Drip Tray Plate. 3. Close the Brew Head and perform a brew into the ceramic mug without adding a K-Cup® pack. 4. Repeat the brew cycle until the Water Reservoir is empty and then allow it to sit for at least 60 minutes. 5. Fill the Water Reservoir with 40 ounces of filtered or purified water, close the Brew Head, place a cup on the Drip Tray Plate and perform a brew. 6. Repeat the brew cycle until the Water Reservoir is empty (with no K-Cup® pack in place) to clean the Brewer plumbing and get rid of any residual taste from the vinegar. The Brewer is now ready for normal use again. Note: If the de-scale process is not followed correctly or if you choose not to de-scale your Brewer, the lights can be reset as with most other Mr. Coffee® Brewers, by unplugging the Brewer for 30 seconds.
