CLEANING AND MAINTAINING YOUR SINGLE
SERVE BREWER
Cleaning External Parts
CAUTION : Make sure the Brewer is unplugged
before cleaning and allow to cool. Regular
cleaning of the Brewer’s external components is
recommended.
1. Never immerse the Brewer in water or other liquids. The
housing and other external components may be cleaned
with a soapy, damp, non-abrasive cloth.
2. The Drip Tray can accumulate liquids. The Drip Tray and
Drip Tray Plate should be periodically inspected and
cleaned with a damp soapy nonabrasive lint free cloth. The
Drip Tray and Drip Tray Plate should not be put into the
dishwasher. To remove the Drip Tray, simply Lift upward,
keeping it level at all times to avoid spilling.
Cleaning the K-Cup ® Assembly Housing
1. Cleaning the Parts – The K-Cup ® Assembly Housing can be
placed on the top rack of a dishwasher.
NOTE: Use low temperature cycles in the dishwasher.
To remove from the Brewer, lift the Brew Head, then grasp
the top of the K-Cup
® Assembly Housing with one hand
while pushing up on the bottom of the K-Cup ® Assembly
Housing from underneath with the other until it releases.
After cleaning, align the K-Cup
® Assembly Housing with the
opening using the two front ribs as a guide, and snap into
place from the top.
2. Cleaning the Funnel – The funnel can be
removed from the K-Cup ® Assembly Housing by
pulling on it until it snaps off (fi g. 1). The funnel
is dishwasher safe. To replace it, snap it back
onto the K-Cup
® Assembly Housing.
3. Cleaning the Needles – The exit needle is
located on the inside bottom of the K-Cup ® Assembly
Housing. Should a clog arise due to coffee grinds, it can
be cleaned using a paper clip or similar tool.
Remove K-Cup
® Assembly Housing and detach
funnel. Insert the household tool into the
needle to loosen the clog and push it out. The
K-Cup
® Assembly Housing is dishwasher safe. A
paper clip can also be used to clean the Brew
Head Needle located inside of the Brew Head.
CAUTION:There are sharp needles that
puncture the K-Cup
® pack above the
K-Cup ® Assembly Housing and in the
bottom of the K-Cup ® Assembly
Housing. To avoid risk of injury, do not
put your fi ngers in the K-Cup
® Assembly Housing.
Cleaning and Emptying the Reservoir
Discard the remaining water by removing the Water Reservoir
Lid and turning the Water Reservoir upside down over the
sink. The Water Reservoir Lid should NOT be put into the
dishwasher. It should be cleaned with a damp, soapy, non-
abrasive cloth and rinsed thoroughly. The Water Reservoir is
dishwasher safe.
NOTE: 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. Do not immerse
appliance in water.
Storage
Empty the Water Reservoir before storing and take care to
ensure that you store your Brewer in a safe and frost free
environment. It is suggested to store your Brewer in the upright
position. If you store the Brewer in a cold environment, you
run the risk of condensation freezing inside the Brewer and
causing damage. When you prepare to use it after storage, we
recommend wiping the Water Reservoir with a damp lint-free
cloth and running three cleansing brews without a K-Cup
® pack.
