NOTE: The Brewer will continue to function even when the amber 'DE-SCALE' light is illuminat- ed. However, if you do not de-scale soon after it is displayed, continued scale build-up could damage the Brewer. If this occurs, the amber light next to 'DE-SCALE will begin to blink to alert you to the potential damage to the Brewer if you do not de-scale immediately.

You should promptly de-scale using the proce- dures outlined below once the 'DE-SCALE' light illuminates on the LED Control Center.

De-Scaling

a.PREPARE

Step 1: Make sure you have at least 48 ounces (1.4 L) of undiluted white vinegar on hand. You will also need an empty sink and a ceramic cup (do not use a paper cup.)

Step 2: Empty the water in the Water Reservoir.

b.FILL AND CLEAN

Step 1: Pour the white vinegar into the Water Reservoir and fill it to the line just below the top edge of the clear viewing area.

Step 2: Place a ceramic cup in the Drip Tray and run a brew cycle. DO NOT USE A K-CUP®portion pack just press the Brew Button.

Pour the contents of the cup into the sink.

Step 3: Repeat the brew process until the “add water” LED is ON (Water Reservoir is empty), pouring the contents of the cup into the sink after each cycle. We suggest using the largest brew size to speed the process. Remember to open and close the lid between each cycle so the blue Brew light will flash.

Step 4: Rinse the Water Reservoir thoroughly and fill with fresh water.

Step 5: Now let the Brewer stand for 4 hours

while still on. (The Auto-Off feature should be turned off).

c. RINSE

Step 1: Now perform a drain process.

Step 2: Empty and re-fill the water reservoir with fresh water.

Step 3: Re-prime the brewer and re-fill the water reservoir.

Step 4: Place a ceramic cup on the Drip Tray and run a regular brew cycle without using a K-Cup®. Pour the contents of the cup into the sink. (remember, the hot water tank still has white vinegar in it).

Step 5: Repeat the brew process, without K-Cups®until the Water Reservoir is empty, pouring the contents of the cup into the sink after each cycle. We suggest using the largest brew size to speed the process. Remember to open and close the lid between each cycle so the blue Brew light will flash.

Step 6: You may need to perform additional rinse cycles if you notice any residual taste.

NOTE: If the amber 'DE-SCALE' light is still illuminated on the LED Control Center after completing the procedure, repeat the de- scaling procedure above.

Storage

Empty the Water Reservoir and drain the brewer before storing and take care to ensure that you store your Brewer in a safe and frost free environ- ment. 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 water freezing inside the Brewer and causing damage. When you prepare to use it after storage, we recommend rinsing the Water Reservoir with fresh water and running three cleansing brews without a K-Cup®.

If you plan to move your Brewer to a different location, turn the Brewer off, unplug it, empty the Water Reservoir and drain the brewer. 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. If the brewer is going to be exposed to freezing tem- peratures the hot water tank should be drained (see Section 1, page 8).
