ROUTINE CLEANING Before beginning any cleaning procedure, unplug the brewer to avoid the accidental start of a brew cycle. Clean the pod holder, drip tray and drip tray grate after each use, using a damp cloth and mild detergent and rinse. With the pod holder and drip tray removed, use a damp cloth with mild detergent to wipe the area below the pod holder and into the drip tray area. Occasionally, wipe the outside of the brewer with a damp cloth.
PERIODIC CLEANING/DESCALING (Cont.) 8) When the cycle has finished, empty the container. Repeat step 7 at least two more times to remove the solution from the tank. 9) Clean the pod holder with a mild detergent and rinse thoroughly. 10) Proceed to the “Cleaning The Sprayhead/Seal” section. 1) 2) 3) 4) CLEANING THE SPRAYHEAD/SEAL Press the Power Switch into the off “O” position. Unplug the brewer and allow it to cool down. (Minimum of 1 hour.
INSPECTING THE SPRAYHEAD SEAL When disassembling your brewer for cleaning, inspect the sprayhead seal for cracks, tears and holes. Although the seal should last for an extended period of time, damage can occur through handling. CAUTION: The seal confines the hot liquid to the pod holder. Replace the seal if it becomes damaged. Parts are available at www.bunn.com.
TROUBLESHOOTING SITUATION Nothing happens when the COFFEE BUTTON or TEA BUTTON is pressed. EXPLANATION This is the first time you have used your brewer. The Initial Brewer Set-up procedure must be performed first. Please follow the directions on page 10 (Automatic) or page 12 (PourOver) before attempting to run a brew cycle. Your brewer is not plugged in. Check to make sure the brewer is plugged in and the POWER SWITCH has been turned on.
SITUATION EXPLANATION The REFILL WATER INDICATOR has come on. Pour-Over only: The WATER RESERVOIR has run low on water. Slide the lid open and pour additional water into the reservoir, or remove the reservoir and fill it at a sink, or other water source. CAUTION: Do not place the brewer in a sink or other water source. Do not fill past the Maximum fill line. Automatic only: The WATER RESERVOIR has recently been removed from the brewer and replaced empty.
TROUBLESHOOTING (Cont.) SITUATION (Continued) The water shuts off and comes back on again when brewing. EXPLANATION again. This is normal and will take about 45 seconds to complete. Wait for the blue lights to go out. NOTE: Although the pulse brew process can be used for coffee or tea, it is designed to brew tea. Because the process of brewing tea is different than coffee, the brewer works differently when the TEA BREW BUTTON is used.
SITUATION EXPLANATION The BUNN® (POD HOLDER RELEASE BUTTON) indicator is not on all of the time. When the BUNN® button (Also known as the POD HOLDER RELEASE BUTTON) is lit, this indicates that the power to the machine is on. No action is required. The BUNN® Pod brewer is ready to brew. When the brewer enters a sleep mode the POD HOLDER BUTTON will not be glowing. Pressing any button or the POD HOLDER RELEASE BUTTON will wake up the brewer.
