SECTION 5
Caring For Your Brewer
De-Scaling Your Brewer
Mineral content in water varies from place to place. Depending on the mineral content
of the water in your area, calcium deposits or scale may build up in your Brewer. Scale
is non-toxic, but left unattended, it can hinder Brewer performance. De-scaling your
Brewer helps maintain the heating system and other internal parts of the Brewer that
come in contact with water.
The Brewer should be de-scaled every three to six months to ensure optimal
performance. It is possible for calcium deposits to build up faster, making it necessary
to de-scale more often.
The de-scale process requires the Brewer to stand for at least 4 hours. During this period, the
Brewer should not be used to brew beverages.
Prepare
Step 1 To begin, you will need:
• At least 48 ounces of undiluted white vinegar
• A large ceramic mug, at least 10 oz. (do not use a paper cup)
Step 2 Empty the water in the Water Reservoir.
Step 3 Disable "Auto Off" and "Energy Saver" modes (refer to pages 18 and 19).
Fill & Clean
Step 1 Pour at least 48 ounces of the vinegar into the Water Reservoir.
Step 2 Place the mug on the Drip Tray Plate. Lift the Handle and insert a clean, empty
Vue ™ Cup portion pack. Lower the Handle and press "BREW." The Brewer will
dispense 8 oz. of hot vinegar into your mug. Dispose of the vinegar.
Step 3 Repeat the process until "Please Add Water" is indicated.
Step 4 Let the Brewer stand for at least 4 hours while still on.
Step 5 Discard the remaining vinegar from the Water Reservoir and rinse the Reservoir
thoroughly. Remove the empty Vue
Rinse
Step 1 Ensure the Water Reservoir is filled with fresh water.
Step 2 Place a large mug on the Drip Tray Plate and run a cleansing brew. Pour the
contents of the large mug into the sink.
Step 3 Repeat the cleansing brew process until "Please Add Water" is indicated.
Step 4 You may need to perform additional cleansing brew cycles (refer to page 15)
if you notice any residual taste.
