Adding Water
The LED Control Center of your Brewer will
indicate when the water level in the reservoir is
low or if the Water Reservoir has been removed
by illuminating the blue light next to ‘ADD
WATER’. The Brewer will not allow you to brew
when the blue 'ADD WATER' light is illuminated.
The Water Reservoir can be filled in two ways.
1. Lift off the Water Reservoir Lid and pour
water directly into the Water Reservoir
while it is still attached to the Brewer, then
replace the Lid.
2. Remove the Water Reservoir from Brewer
by first removing Lid from Reservoir, then
lifting Reservoir straight up and away from
Brewer. Fill with water. Place the Water
Reservoir back on the Brewer and replace
the Lid.
3. The blue ADD WATER light will go out 3
seconds after installing or refilling the tank.
This delay is normal.
Draining the Brewer
The Hot Water tank of the B145 can be com-
pletely drained. We recommend that the
Brewer be drained if it is to be transported or
stored for an extended period.
1. The Brewer must be powered on and ready
to brew.
2. Empty the Cold Water Reservoir and place it
back into the brewer. The add water LED will
be flashing.
3. Turn the Brew / Drain selector at the rear of
the brewer to the “DRAIN” position. The
green Drain light will be flashing to indicate
that you may start draining the brewer.
4. Press and hold the Drain button. Water will
start to flow from the vent nozzle into the
Water Reservoir. It will continue to flow for
as long as the button is depressed. Flow of
water stops when the drain button is released.
CAUTION: The water may be very hot!
NOTE: The process to drain a Hot Water
Tank from idle state takes about a minute.
5. Release the Drain button, when the flow of
water stops. The brewer’s internal hot water
tank is now empty.
6. Turn the valve to the ‘BREW’ position and
turn off the brewer.
Brewing Hot Water
Your Brewer is able to produce a cup of hot
water for making hot chocolate, for use in
cooking, for making soups, etc. Simply raise
and lower the handle on the Brewer without
adding a K-Cup
®
portion pack. The blue brew
button light will flash... Be sure to have a mug
or cup on the Drip Tray, select a brew size and
then press the Brew Button.
If you are experiencing any problems with
your Brewer, please contact Customer
Service at 1-866-901-BREW (2739).

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
Cleaning External Parts
Regular cleaning of the Brewer’s external
components is recommended.
1. Never immerse the base unit in water or
other liquids. The Housing and other external
components may be cleaned with a soapy,
damp, non-abrasive cloth.
2. The Drip Tray can accumulate up to 230 ml
(8 oz) of overflow. The Drip Tray and Drip Tray
Plate should be periodically inspected and
rinsed clean. To remove the Drip Tray
Assembly, simply slide it toward you, keeping it
level at all times to avoid spilling. The Drip Tray
and Drip Tray Plate are dishwasher safe.
Cleaning the K-Cup

Holder Assembly
1. Cleaning the Parts
The K-Cup
®
Holder Assembly is dishwasher
safe. To remove from the Brewer, open the
cover by lifting the Handle. Grasp the top of the
K-Cup
®
Holder with one hand while pushing up
on the bottom of the K-Cup
®
Holder from
underneath with the other until it releases. After
cleaning, align the K-Cup
®
Holder with the
opening using the two front ribs as a guide and
snap into place from the top.
2. Cleaning the Funnel
The Funnel can be removed from the K-Cup
®
Holder by pulling on it until it snaps off. The
Funnel is dishwasher safe. To replace it just snap
it back onto the K-Cup
®
Holder Assembly.
3. Cleaning the Exit Needle
The Exit Needle is located on the inside bottom
of the K-Cup Holder Assembly. Should a clog
arise due to coffee grinds, it can be cleaned
using a paper clip or similar tool. Remove
K-Cup
®
Holder, insert the paper clip into the
Needle to loosen the clog and remove it. The
K-Cup
®

Cleaning the Water Reservoir and
Water Reservoir Lid
The Water Reservoir Lid should be cleaned
with a damp soapy non-abrasive cloth. Lid
should not be put into the dishwasher.
The Water Reservoir can be placed into the
dishwasher for cleaning or can be cleaned with
soapy water and rinsed thoroughly.
Do not dry the inside of the Water Reservoir
with a cloth as lint may remain.
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 inter-
nal parts of the Brewer that come in contact
with water.
The Brewer should be de-scaled every 6
months to ensure optimal performance. It is
possible for calcium deposits to build up faster,
making it necessary to de-scale more often.
This Brewer is equipped with sensors to detect
when scale buildup is interfering with the
performance of the Brewer. When this is
detected, the amber light next to 'DE-SCALE'
will be illuminated.

CAUTION: There are sharp needles that
puncture the K-Cup above the K-Cup Holder
and in the bottom of the K-Cup Holder. T
o
avoid risk of injury, do not put your fingers
in the K-Cup Chamber.
CAUTION: Please rinse the Water Reservoir
thoroughly after cleaning to ensure that no
cleaners or cleaning solutions remain in
this area as they may contaminate the
water supply in the Brewer.
