Helpful Hints

• Initial Cleansing Brew – Before you use your Brewer for

the first time, perform an initial cleansing brew by running
clean water through the brew cycle without using a K-Cup®
portion pack.

• One Cup at a Time – Your new Brewer makes one fresh

beverage at a time.

• Water Reservoir for Convenience - Your new Brewer holds

up to 24oz. or water. This will make 4 small cups of coffee
(6 oz. each) or 2 large cups of coffee (10 oz. each).

• The Right Water Makes a Difference – For the best tasting

gourmet coffee, tea or hot cocoa, we recommend using
bottled or filtered 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 filtration system.

• Customize Your Flavor & Brew – With the choice of over

200 varieties of K-Cup® portion pack, your Brewer gives you
endless options to customize the flavor and strength that’s
perfect for you. For a strong, intense cup, select an Extra
Bold K-Cup® portion pack (with up to 30% more ground
coffee than regular varieties). Fill the reservoir with filtered
or bottled water up to the FILL LEVEL indicator and brew
normally.

• Brewing Into a Tall Mug – To brew into a tall mug, simply

remove the Drip Tray Assembly and place the tall mug on
the Drip Tray Base.

• The Drip Tray – Any liquid overflow (from your cup or the

Cold Water Reservoir) will be caught in the Drip Tray. Be sure
to empty the Drip Tray. The Drip Tray has a snug fit to ensure
it stays put in transit.

• 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 11 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 13 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.

CLEANING AND MAINTAINING
YOUR SINGLE SERVE BREWER

Cleaning External Parts

IMPORTANT: Make sure the Brewer is unplugged before

cleaning Regular cleaning of the Brewer’s external
components is recommended. Allow to Cool.

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 Assembly, simply slide
it toward you, keeping it level at all times to avoid spilling.

Cleaning the K-Cup® Portion Pack Holder Assembly

1. Cleaning the Parts – The K-Cup® portion pack Holder
Assembly can be placed onto the top shelf of a
dishwasher. NOTE: Use low temperature cycles in the
dishwasher. To remove from the Brewer, lift the front face
of the Brewer. Grasp the top of the K-Cup® portion pack
