De-Scaling Your Brewer
Depending on the mineral content of the \fater, calcium deposits or scale 
may build up in your Bre\fer. Scale is non-toxic but left unattended, it can  hinder Bre\fer performance. De-scaling your Bre\fer helps maintain the 
heating element and other internal parts of the Bre\fer.
The Bre\fer should be de-scaled every 3-6 months to ensure optimal  performance or \fhen there are \fhite deposits in the  Cold Water Reservoir. 
It is possible for calcium deposits to build up faster, making it necessary to   
de-scale more often.
A.  PREPARE
You \fill need 20 oz. of undiluted \fhite vinegar, a 12 oz. ceramic mug (do not 
use a paper cup) and access to a sink.

Bre\fer Handle completely and perform a bre\f \fithout adding a 
K-Cup. Empty the contents of the ceramic mug into the sink. 
CAUTION : Be ca\beful as contents will be hot.
Step 3: 
  Place the ceramic mug back on the Drip Tray Plate. Pour the  remaining 10 oz. of vinegar into the Cold Water Reservoir. Start a bre\f, but po\fer off the Bre\fer just after it starts to dispense. Allo\f it to sit 
for at least 30 minutes.
C. Ri NSE
Step 1:
   
After the prescribed period of time (at least 30 minutes), turn your 
Bre\fer on and place the ceramic mug on the Drip Tray Plate. Lift and lo\fer the Bre\fer Handle completely and perform a bre\f \fithout
