To de-scale the reservoir:

1.Make sure that the Brewer is unplugged.

2.Fill the reservoir with fresh, undiluted white household vinegar.

3.Allow appliance to sit overnight with the vinegar solution in the water reservoir.

4.Discard vinegar by removing the reservoir lid and turning reservoir upside down over the sink.

5.Rinse the water reservoir thoroughly with tap water by filling reservoir half full with water and then pouring the water back out into the sink, repeating this step twice.

To de-scale the Brewer:

Step 1: Make sure you have at least 8 ounces of undiluted white vinegar on hand. You will also need a 10 oz ceramic mug (do not use a paper cup) and access to a sink.

Step 2: Fill reservoir with 8 ounces of undiluted white vinegar, place a ceramic mug on the Drip Tray Plate.

Step 3: Close the brew head and perform a brew into the ceramic mug without adding a K-Cup®Portion Pack.

Step 4: Start a brew but power off the Brewer just after it starts to dispense and then allow it to sit for at least 30 minutes.

Step 5: After the prescribed period of time, perform a brew without adding a K-Cup®Portion Pack. Empty the contents of the ceramic mug into the sink, be careful as contents may be hot.

Step 6: Fill the reservoir with 8 ounces of bottled water, close the brew head, place a cup on the Drip Tray Plate and perform a brew.

Step 7: Repeat Step 6 three times using bottled water (with no K-Cup®Portion Pack in place) to clean the Brewer plumbing and get rid of any residual taste from the vinegar. The Brewer is now ready for normal use again.
