CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
Cleaning & Sanitizing the
Entrance Needle Area
Regular cleaning of the Brewer's external
components is recommended. The needle,
entrance needle gasket, and surrounding
puncture mechanism should be wiped clean
using a clean cloth. See figure below. After
wiping the aforementioned areas clean then do
three (3) sanitizing brews. A sanitizing or
cleansing brew is performed by simply running
a brew cycle without a K-Cup in place. To do a
cleansing brew, at the 'READY - CHOOSE K-
CUP - LIFT HANDLE' prompt, raise the handle
and then lower it as if a K-Cup has been placed
in the holder. Press the 8oz (largest size) brew
button; repeat twice more to complete the
sanitizing process.
