Regular Maintenance

For great-tasting coffee, keep your coffee maker running at peak performance by following the
recommended maintenance schedule:
Frequency
Every 2 months
Every 3 months or when
the Descale notification
turns on*
*To turn off Descale notification, follow the full descaling procedure as outlined in this guide.
If the coffee maker has been in storage, or hasn't been used in days, run a cleansing brew before brewing
your beverage.
Periodically hand-wash the water reservoir and lid and drip tray with warm soapy water and rinse clean.
CAUTION: Parts are not dishwasher safe.
NOTE: Do not dry the inside of the water reservoir with a cloth as lint may remain.
K-Cup® Pod Holder
To remove the K-Cup® pod holder from
the coffee maker, lift the handle and
grasp the top of the K-Cup® pod holder
with one hand while pushing up on
the bottom of the K-Cup® pod holder
from underneath with the other until
STR ONG
it releases. After cleaning, align the
K-Cup® pod holder with the opening
using the two front ribs as a guide
and snap into place from the top.
CAUTION: There are sharp needles that puncture the recyclable* K-Cup® pod above the K-Cup® pod
holder and in the bottom of the K-Cup® pod holder. To avoid risk of injury, do not put your fingers in the
K-Cup® pod holder.
NOTE: Always remove and recycle the used recyclable* K-Cup® pod after brewing.

Washing the funnel ensures a fresh
beverage experience. The funnel
should be washed regularly and can
be removed from the K-Cup® pod
holder by pulling on it until it pops off.
To replace it, orient the snaps to the
indent and just snap it back onto the
K-Cup® pod holder.
