De-Scaling - 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 Brewer. Scale is non-toxic, but left unattended, it can hinder Brewer performance. De-scaling your Brewer helps maintain the heating element and other internal parts of the Brewer that come in contact with water. See De-Scaling in page 16 for more information. Storing - When storing your Brewer, carefully empty the Drip Tray and make sure the Water Reservoir is empty. Store your Brewer upright in a safe, dry, frost-free environment.

Regular cleaning of the Brewer's external components is recommended. 1. T he Housing and other external components may be cleaned with a soapy, damp, non-abrasive cloth.

The Drip Tray and Drip Tray Plate should be periodically inspected and cleaned with a damp soapy nonabrasive lint free cloth. The Drip Tray and Drip Tray Plate should not be put into the dishwasher.
