Adding Water
The LED Control Center of your Brewer will
indicate when the water level in the tank is low
or if the Water Reservoir has been removed by
illuminating the blue light next to ‘ADD WATER’.
The Brewer will not allow you to brew when
the blue 'ADD WATER' light is illuminated.

The Water Reservoir can be filled in two ways. 

1. Lift off the Water Reservoir Lid and pour 

water directly into the Water Reservoir 
while it is still attached to the Brewer, then 
replace the Lid.

2. Remove the Water Reservoir from Brewer

by first removing Lid from Reservoir, then
lifting Reservoir straight up and away from
Brewer. Fill with water. Place the Water
Reservoir back on the Brewer and replace
the Lid.

Brewing Hot Water
Your Brewer is able to produce a cup of hot
water for making hot chocolate, for use in
cooking, for making soups, etc. Simply raise
and lower the handle on the Brewer without
adding a K-Cup® portion pack. The green light
above the Brew Button on the LED Control
Center will flash. Be sure to have a mug or cup
on the Drip Tray and then press the Brew Button.

Purging the Brewer
If your Brewer has not been used for more
than one week, you should purge the water
from the inner tank.

1. If there is water in the Water Reservoir,

remove the Lid, then lift Reservoir straight up
and away from Brewer. Discard water, rinse
and refill with water. Place the Water Reservoir
back on the Brewer and replace the Lid. (If
there is no water in Reservoir, simply refill.)

2. Be sure the Brewer is turned on. Raise and

lower the handle on the Brewer without
inserting a K-Cup and wait until the red light
next to 'HEATING' turns off.

3. The green light above the Brew Button on

the LED Control Center will flash. Be sure to
have a mug or cup on the Drip Tray and then
press the Brew Button.

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 two more times to

completely purge water from inner tank.

If you are experiencing any problems with

Cleaning External Parts
Regular cleaning of the Brewer’s external com-
ponents is recommended.

1. Never immerse the base unit in water or
other liquids. The Housing and other external
components may be cleaned with a soapy,
damp, non-abrasive cloth.

2. The Drip Tray can accumulate up to 8
ounces of overflow. The Drip Tray and Drip
Tray Plate should be periodically inspected and
rinsed clean. To remove the Drip Tray
Assembly, simply slide it toward you, keeping it
level at all times to avoid spilling. The Drip Tray

To remove from the Brewer, open the cover by

bottom of the K-Cup Holder from underneath

align the K-Cup Holder with the opening using
the two front ribs as a guide and snap into
place from the top.

The Funnel can be removed from the K-Cup
Holder by pulling on it until it snaps off. The
Funnel is dishwasher safe. To replace it just snap
it back onto the  K-Cup Holder Assembly.

3. Cleaning the Exit Needle 

The Exit Needle is located on the inside bottom
of the K-Cup Holder Assembly. Should a clog
arise due to coffee grinds, it can be cleaned

Cup Holder, insert the paper clip into the
Needle to loosen the clog and push it out. The
K-Cup Holder is dishwasher safe.

The Water Reservoir can be placed into the
dishwasher for cleaning or can be cleaned with
soapy water and rinsed thoroughly.

Do not dry the inside of the Water Reservoir
with a cloth as lint may remain.

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
