Cleaning the Water Reservoir & Water Reservoir Lid

	2. Cleaning the Funnel—The Funnel can be
	removed from the K-Cup Holder by pulling
	on it until it pops off (fig. 24). The Funnel is
!	dishwasher safe. To replace it, just snap it
	back onto the K-Cup Holder.

3. Cleaning the Exit Needle—The Exit Needle is located on the inside bottom of the K-Cup Holder. Should a clog arise due to coffee grinds, it can be cleaned using a paper clip or similar tool. Remove the K-Cup Holder Assembly and detach Funnel. Insert the paper clip (as shown in fig. 24) into the Needle to loosen the clog, then flush

with water. The K-Cup Holder Assembly can be placed onto the top shelf of a dishwasher.

NOTE: Use low temperature cycles in the dishwasher.

CAUTION: There are sharp needles that puncture the K-Cup above the K-Cup Holder and in the bottom of the K-Cup Holder. To avoid risk of injury, do not put your fingers in the K-Cup Assembly Housing.

The Water Reservoir Lid or Water Reservoir should not be put into the dishwasher. They should be cleaned with a damp, soapy, non-abrasive cloth and rinsed thoroughly. Do not dry the inside of the Water Reservoir with a cloth as lint may remain. CAUTION: Please rinse the Water Reservoir

thoroughly after cleaning to ensure that no cleaners or cleaning solutions remain in this area as they may contaminate the water supply in the Brewer.

De-Scaling Your Brewer

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.

The Brewer should be de-scaled every 3-6 months to ensure optimal performance. It is possible for calcium deposits to build up faster, making it necessary to de-scale more often.
