Cleaning And Maintenance
KK series of airpots has three important areas that require cleaning and maintenance for better performance and comply
with hygienic standards that KK airpot is approved for by NSF (National Sanitation Foundation). Design of KK airpots has
met all necessary requirements to comply with the standards set forth by NSF and it is important that the end user take
full advantage of this sanitation friendly designed KK airpot. Please follow the step-by-step cleaning procedure for
optimum performance and proper sanitation.
Cleaning the Liner:
KK airpot liner is vacuum insulated and requires daily cleaning. The best method for cleaning vacuum liner is by using a
coffee brewer for the hot water source.
1. Rinse brew basket and place fresh disposable coffee into brew basket.
2. Place proper amount of cleaning compound or cleaning tablet in the center of the brew basket and slide it into
the brewer. [Follow manufacture’s instructions for cleaning product usage.]
3. Open the KK airpot lid, leaving brew-thru stem in place, position KK airpot under the brew basket.
4. Pour clean cold water into the receiving tray [pour in] or press start button [automatic].
5. Wait until brew cycle is complete and let the airpot sit there for 10 to 15 minutes.
6. Mean time remove brew basket and discard used filter. Clean the brew basket with the brush provided, rinse the
brew basket twice with clean water.
7. Close the lid on the KK airpot and move it to the nearest sink. Position near the edge of the sink and slowly pump
out the cleaning solution from the KK airpot. This will help clean the brew-thru stem and the pouring spout.
8. Remove the brew-thru stem; fill airpot with fresh clean water, and place brew-thru stem back. Close the lid and
again pump out clean water. Repeat this process again.
9. Now the inside of the brew-thru stem and the liner are clean. Remove the brew-thru stem and put aside. Pour
clean water in the KK airpot, rinse and discard water.
10. Wipe down the brew-thru stem and the outer side of the KK airpot.
11. Place brew-thru stem back into the KK airpot and close the lid. Now your KK airpot is clean and ready for brewing
coffee.
Cleaning The Lid Assembly:
The bellow mechanism that pumps the air into the KK airpot to push the coffee out of KK airpot and into the cup is
located inside the lid assembly. This requires weekly cleaning as it may inhale some coffee residue inside of the bellow in
reverse stroke action. Design of this lid allows access to the bellow without any tools so that it can be cleaned at the
customer’s location.
Push & hold front locking lever, lift up lid
about 10 degrees and pull forward, figure-1.

Cleaning Of The Brew-thru Stem Assembly:
During the brewing and pumping of the coffee, coffee goes into the server through the middle stainless steel pipe and
comes out through the outer stainless steel pipe via pouring spout and into the cup. These tubes and the pouring spout
will have coffee residue build up which requires cleaning every week.
Lift the lid assembly and remove the brew-thru stem
assembly, figure-5.

the bellow with warm soapy water with the help of a
