SINGLE-SERVE
COFFEEMAKER 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 pull it up, keeping it
level at all times in order to prevent spills. The drip
tray and drip tray plate are dishwasher safe. Do not
clean 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
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 funnel from
capsule holder, hold funnel in left hand, twist bottom
away from you slightly and pull away from capsule
holder. The funnel is top-rack dishwasher safe.
NOTE: The funnel may be tight the first few times
you try 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.
Replace funnel onto capsule holder by lining up
tabs in funnel with notches on capsule holder, twist
toward you until it locks into place. After cleaning,
replace capsule holder, being sure to align the
arrow on the capsule holder rim with arrow on the
brewing chamber.
4. Cleaning the Piercing Needle – The piercing
needle is located on the inside of the brewing
chamber. Should a clog arise because of coffee
grounds, it can be cleaned using a paper clip or
similar tool. Insert paper clip to loosen the clog and
push it out.
DESCALING
