- Empty the mug and rinse the water reservoir.
- Fill the reservoir with fresh water and perform at least 12 rinse brews to remove any residual solution.

Troubleshooting

|---|---|---|
| Brewer not turning on | Not plugged in; power outage; circuit breaker tripped. | Ensure brewer is securely plugged into a grounded outlet. Check power supply and circuit breaker. |
