Run Solution: Press the BREW button repeatedly, pausing between presses, to run all solution through the brewer. Do not use a K-Cup pod.
Rinse: Fill reservoir with fresh water. Run multiple brew cycles (without a K-Cup) until the vinegar smell is gone.

WARNING! Use only approved descaling solutions or white vinegar. Never use harsh chemicals.

Care & Cleaning

Unplug brewer and allow to cool before cleaning. Wipe exterior with a damp, soft cloth. Do not immerse in water.

Weekly: Remove and wash the drip tray and reservoir in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

Monthly: Clean the K-Cup needle puncture assembly with a paperclip to remove any coffee grounds or pod residue.
