cleaning the hot Water Tank
To access the Hot Water Tank, press the PRESS TO OPEN Button and then
lower the handle completely, the water fill lid will pop open. Inspect the Hot
Water Tank area and clean with a damp lint free cloth as necessary. Close
the water fill lid when finished.
Emptying the hot Water Tank
1. Ensure that the water fill lid is closed.
2. Place a cup on the drip plate then press and hold the BREW Button until all
the water has been dispensed. Note, there will be a delay of  –  seconds
until water starts to dispense.
Storage
Empty the Hot Water Tank 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 Hot Water Tank with a damp lint-free cloth and running three
cleansing brews without a K-Cup.
If your Brewer has been in an environment below freezing, please be sure to
let it warm to room temperature for 2 hours before using.
De-Scaling Your Brewer
Mineral content in bottled or filtered water varies. Depending on the mineral
content of the water, 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.
The Brewer should be de-scaled every 3- months to ensure optimal
performance or when there are white deposits in the Hot Water Tank. It
is possible for calcium deposits to build up faster, making it necessary to
de-scale more often.
Step 1: Make sure you have at least  ounces of undiluted white vinegar on
hand. You will also need a 10 oz ceramic cup (do not use a paper cup)
and access to a sink.
Step 2: Fill Hot Water Tank with  ounces of undiluted white vinegar up to the
FILL LEVEL mark, place a ceramic cup on the Drip Tray Plate.
Step 3: Close the lid, and perform a brew into the ceramic cup without adding
a K-Cup.
Step 4: Pour the contents of the ceramic cup into the Hot Water Tank, careful
the liquid will be hot, close the lid. 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. Empty the contents of the ceramic cup into the sink, be careful
as contents may be hot.
