Installation Guide
Tools Needed:
- Measuring cup
- Clean cloth
- Vinegar (for descaling)

Step-by-Step Setup
- Unpack and Place: Remove all packaging materials. Place brewer on a flat, stable surface away from heat sources and water splashes.
- Water Reservoir: Remove water reservoir, fill with fresh cold water, and reattach securely to the brewer.
- Initial Rinse: Without a K-Cup® pod, place a mug on the drip tray and run a cleansing brew cycle using just water.
- Prime the System: Run 3-4 water-only brew cycles to prime the internal system and remove any manufacturing residues.
- First Brew: Insert a K-Cup® pod, close the handle, select your cup size, and brew your first cup of coffee.
- Descaling Setup: Familiarize yourself with the descaling indicator light and procedure for future maintenance.
