Caring For Your 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 system and other internal parts of the Brewer that come in contact with water.

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

The de-scale process requires the Brewer to stand for at least 4 hours. During this period, the Brewer should not be used to brew beverages.

Prepare

Step 1 To begin, you will need:

•At least 48 ounces of undiluted white vinegar

•A large ceramic mug, at least 10 oz. (do not use a paper cup) Step 2 Empty the water in the Water Reservoir.

Step 3 Disable “Auto Off” and “Energy Saver” modes (refer to pages 18 and 19).

Fill & Clean

Step 1 Pour at least 48 ounces of the vinegar into the Water Reservoir.

Step 2 Place the mug on the Drip Tray Plate. Lift the Handle and insert a clean, empty Vue™ Cup portion pack. Lower the Handle and press “BREW.” The Brewer will dispense 8 oz. of hot vinegar into your mug. Dispose of the vinegar.

Step 3 Repeat the process until “Please Add Water” is indicated. Step 4 Let the Brewer stand for at least 4 hours while still on.

Step 5 Discard the remaining vinegar from the Water Reservoir and rinse the Reservoir thoroughly. Remove the empty Vue™ Cup from the Brewer.

Rinse

Step 1 Ensure the Water Reservoir is filled with fresh water.

Step 2 Place a large mug on the Drip Tray Plate and run a cleansing brew. Pour the contents of the large mug into the sink.

Step 3 Repeat the cleansing brew process until “Please Add Water” is indicated. Step 4 You may need to perform additional cleansing brew cycles (refer to page 15)

if you notice any residual taste.
