HELPFUL HINTS
• Keep your Brewer turned “ON” at all times – To brew a
fresh cup of coffee, tea or hot cocoa anytime you want,
we suggest you keep your Brewer turned “ON” all the time.
However, you can set the Brewer to automatically turn off
two hours after your last brew. Follow the instructions on
page 12 to activate or de-activate the auto-off feature.
• Initial Cleansing Brew – Before you use your Brewer for the
fi rst time, perform an initial cleansing brew by running clean
water through the brew cycle without using a K-Cup
® pack.
• One Cup at a Time – Your new Brewer makes one fresh
beverage at a time.
• Water Reservoir - Your new Brewer holds up tp 40 oz. of
water.This will make aproximately 6 cups of coffee (6oz.
each) or 5 cups of coffee (8oz. each) or 4 cups of coffee
(10oz.). This Brewer also has a internal pre-heated hot
water reservoir for a faster brew.
• The Right Water Makes a Difference – For the best tasting
gourmet coffee, tea or hot cocoa, we recommend using
bottled or fi ltered water. We do not recommend using
distilled or reverse osmosis water. Water quality varies from
place to place. If you notice an undesirable taste in your
cup of coffee such as chlorine or other mineral taste, we
recommend you consider using bottled water or water
from a fi ltration system.
• Replace K-Cup ® Pack Between Brews - It is necessary to
replace your K-Cup ® pack before starting your next brew.
This will reset the Brewer to allow you to brew another cup
of coffee.
• Customize Your Flavor & Brew – With the choice of over
200 varieties of K-Cup ® packs, your Brewer gives you
endless options to customize the fl avor and strength that’s
perfect for you. For a strong, intense cup, select an Extra
Bold K-Cup
® pack (with up to 30% more ground coffee
than regular varieties).
• Brewing Into a Tall Mug – To brew into a tall mug, simply
remove the Drip Tray Plate and Drip Tray, place the tall mug
on the Drip Tray Base.
• The Drip Tray – Any liquid overfl ow (from your cup or mug)
will be caught in the Drip Tray. Make sure you empty the
Drip Tray regularly.
• Clean Your Brewer Regularly – To keep your Brewer looking
and performing its best, be sure to clean the external and
internal components on a regular basis. See page 14 for
more information.
• De-Scaling – 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. See page 16 for
more information.
• Storing – When storing your Brewer, carefully empty the Drip
Tray and Water Reservoir. Store your Brewer upright in a safe,
dry, frost-free environment.
