Emptying the Water Reservoir
1. Ensure that the Water Reservoir 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 4-5 seconds until water
starts to dispense.
Storage
Empty the Water Reservoir 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 Water Reservoir 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. Descaling 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 3-6 months to ensure optimal performance
or when there are white deposits in the Water Reservoir. It is possible for calcium
deposits to build up faster, making it necessary to de-scale more often.
