3.Cleaning the Exit Needle – The Exit Needle is located on the inside bottom of the K-Cup Holder Assembly. Should a clog arise due to coffee grinds, it can be cleaned using a paper clip or similar tool. Remove K-Cup Holder (as shown in figure 27). Insert the paper clip (see figure 28) to loosen the clog and push it out.
CAUTION: There are sharp needles that puncture the K-Cup above and below. To avoid risk of injury, do not put your fingers in the K-Cup Assembly Housing.

Cleaning the Water Reservoir & Lid
Neither the reservoir lid nor the reservoir should be put into the dishwasher. Clean them with a damp, soapy, non-abrasive cloth and rinse thoroughly. Do not dry the inside of the water reservoir with a cloth, as lint may remain.
Caution: Rinse the water reservoir thoroughly after cleaning to ensure that no cleaners or cleaning solutions remain in this area, as they may contaminate the Brewer’s water supply.
