Step 4.
Pour the contents of the ceramic cup into the hot water tank, please be careful with the liquid because will be hot, then close the lid. Then start a brew but power off the brewer just after it starts to dispense and then allow it to sit for at more or least 30 minutes.
Step 5.
After the prescribed period of time, you can perform a brew without adding a K-Cup®. Then Empty the contents of the ceramic cup into the sink. Again, Be careful as contents may be still hot.
Step 6.
