recommended once a month. excessive steaming or a prolonged brewing cycle
is a sign that a cleaning is needed.

water and pour into the water reservoir.
2. Place the mug on the mug rest.
3. Press the showerhead and let the cleaning solution brew through until the
unit shuts off automatically.
4. Repeat the process using a new solution; do not reuse the first solution.
5. Use the mug to fill the reservoir with cold water and brew the plain water
through to flush out any remaining solution. You may have to repeat the plain
water cycle to remove any remaining vinegar taste.
