CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning External Parts

We recommend regular cleaning of the
coffeemaker's external components.
1. Never immerse the coffeemaker in water or
other liquids. The housing and other
external components may be cleaned with
a soapy, damp, nonabrasive cloth.
2. To remove the drip tray, simply lift it toward
you, keeping it level at all times in order to
prevent spills. The drip tray and drip-tray
plate are dishwasher safe. Do not clean the
drip tray with cleansers, steel wool pads,
or other abrasive materials.
CLEANING THE
CAPSULE HOLDER
Caution: There are sharp needles that
puncture the capsule above and below.
To avoid risk of injury, do not put your
fingers in the capsule brewing chamber.
1. The capsule holder is top-shelf dishwasher
safe (use a low-temperature cycle). To
remove, lift the handle to open the brewing
chamber. Grasp the top of the capsule
holder and pull up.
2. Cleaning the funnel
To remove the funnel from the capsule
holder, grip the funnel with your left hand,
twist the bottom away from you slightly,
and pull away from the capsule holder
to remove. The funnel is top-rack
dishwasher safe.
Note: The funnel may be tight the first few
times you remove it; this is normal and will
loosen with continued use.
3. Cleaning the exit needle
The exit needle is located on the inside
bottom of the capsule holder assembly.
Should a clog arise because of coffee
grounds, it can be cleared using a paper
clip or similar tool. Remove the capsule
holder from the unit, then remove the
funnel from the capsule holder and insert
the paper clip into the exit needle to loosen
the clog and push it out.
Replace the funnel onto the capsule holder
by lining up the tabs in the funnel with the
notches on the capsule holder, and then
twist toward you until the funnel locks into
place. After cleaning, replace the capsule
holder, being sure to align the arrow on the
