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 element, and other internal parts of the Brewer that come in contact with water. The Brewer should 6 months to ensure It is possible for calcium making it necessary to de-scale more often. 6: 15AMMENU DE-SCALE This Brewer is equipped with sensors to detect when scale buildup is interfering with the performance of the Brewer. When this is detected, 'DE-SCALE' will be displayed on the LCD Control Center. You should promptly de-scale if ‘DE-SCALE’ is displayed on the LCD Control Center. Properly follow the de-scaling procedure described below. NOTE: The Brewer will continue to function even when 'DE-SCALE' is displayed. However, if you do not de-scale soon after it is displayed, continued scale build-up could damage the Brewer. If this occurs, 'DE-SCALE' will begin to blink to alert you to the potential damage to the Brewer if you do not de-scale immediately. De-Scaling a.

Storage Empty the Water Reservoir before storing and take care to ensure that you store your Brewer in a safe and frost free environment. Please be sure to store your Brewer in its upright position to avoid water leakage from the inner tank. If you store the Brewer in a cold environment, you run the risk of water freezing inside the Brewer and causing damage. When you prepare to use it after storage, we recommend rinsing the Water Reservoir with fresh water and running three cleansing brews without a K-Cup. If you plan to move your Brewer to a different location, turn the Brewer off, unplug it and empty the Water Reservoir. If your Brewer has been in an environment below freezing, please be sure to let it warm to room temperature for 2 hours before using.
