BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
Please check all packaging material carefully before discarding. Many accessory parts are contained within the packaging material. Before using your Single-Serve Coffee Maker, clean the entire appliance according to the cleaning instructions. Wash the reusable brew cup and cup holder in warm, soapy water, rinse thoroughly and dry. If desired, wipe the exterior of the coffee maker with a soft, damp cloth.
NOTE: Do not wash any parts in the dishwasher and do not immerse the coffee maker in water or any other liquid. This may permanently damage the product and void the warranty.
To remove any manufacturing residues that may reside in the appliance, we recommend running at least one full brew cycle of water and discarding the water when complete.

NOTE: Adjust the amounts to taste. A small amount of smoke and/or odor may occur upon heating due to the release of manufacturing oils – this is normal. Some minor expansion/contraction sounds may occur during heating and cooling – this is normal.

Piercer inside pod adapter is sharp, do not touch. - The exterior of the Single-Serve Coffee Maker can be wiped clean with a damp cloth after it has been unplugged and the base is cool. Do not clean the inside of the water reservoir with a cloth or paper towel. This may leave particles in the chambers that may clog small openings in your coffee maker. Rinse with cold water periodically. Descale the Single-Serve Coffee Maker periodically.
See the "Descaling Your Single-Serve Coffee Maker" section in this manual. This appliance has no user serviceable parts.
DESCALING YOUR SINGLE-SERVE COFFEE MAKER
The Single-Serve Coffee Maker must be decalcified periodically. Over time, mineral deposits build up on internal parts and effect the operation of the appliance. The frequency of descaling depends on the hardness of your water and how often you use the coffee maker. Indications that descaling is necessary are:
- Increased noise during use
- Excessive steaming
- Longer brewing times
- The pumping action stops before all of the water has been pumped from the water reservoir
- If usage is regular, descaling should be carried out as follows:
- With soft water, decalcify once every month
- With medium water, descale every 2 weeks
- With hard water, descale every week
- We recommend the use of vinegar for descaling
- Pour 14 ounces of fresh, cool, undiluted white household vinegar into the water reservoir.
NOTE: Do not use coffee grounds and do not dilute vinegar with water. - Place an adequately sized cup suitable for hot liquids in place on the drip tray.
- Press the power button.
- When the brew cycle is complete and the Single-Serve Coffee Maker has cooled, repeat the process above except use clear, cool water in place of vinegar to rinse any remaining traces of the vinegar from the system. Repeat twice using clean, cool water each time.
