Maintenance

Daily Cleaning

Drip Tray: Remove and empty the drip tray after each use. Wash with warm, soapy water and rinse.
Water Reservoir: Empty any remaining water from the reservoir daily. Wash with warm, soapy water and rinse.
K-Cup Pod Holder/Reusable Filter Basket: Wash these components after each use. The bottom of the K-Pod holder is removable for thorough cleaning.
Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the coffee maker with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

Descaling

Regular descaling is essential to prevent mineral buildup and maintain optimal performance. The frequency depends on water hardness and usage, but generally every 3-6 months.

Prepare Descaling Solution: Mix 10 oz of white vinegar with 20 oz of water, or use a commercial descaling solution according to its instructions.
Fill Reservoir: Pour the descaling solution into the water reservoir.
Enter Descaling Mode: With the machine powered on, press and hold the "HOT BREW" and "OVER ICE" buttons simultaneously for 2 seconds to enter descaling mode. The indicator lights will flash.
Run Descaling Cycle: Place a large mug on the drip tray. Press the "HOT BREW" button to start the descaling cycle. The machine will dispense the solution intermittently.
Rinse Cycles: After the descaling cycle is complete, empty the reservoir and fill it with fresh, cold water. Run 2-3 full water-only cycles (14oz each) to rinse out any remaining descaling solution.
