Cleaning & 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,
non-abrasive cloth.
2. To remove the drip tray, simply lift it up
keeping it level at all times in order to
prevent spills. The drip tray and drip tray
plate are dishwasher safe.

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 low temperature
cycles). 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 funnel from capsule holder,
hold funnel in left hand, twist bottom
away from you slightly and pull away from
capsule holder to remove. The funnel is
top-rack dishwasher safe.
Note: The funnel may be tight the first
few times you go to 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 cleaned using a paper
clip or similar tool. Remove capsule
holder from unit, then remove funnel
from capsule holder and insert the paper
clip into exit needle to loosen the clog
and push it out (Figure 25).
