Electrical warnings.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed,
including the following:
General
Read all instructions before using.
This drinkmaker must be properly installed
and located in accordance with these
instructions before it is used.
Clean component parts as specified in the
Home Bar Care Guide.
Always keep the water tank cover on the
Water Tank unless you are refilling it.
Do not attempt to lift the drinkmaker handle
while making a beverage.
To protect against fire, electrical shock,
and injury do not immerse cords, plugs, or
the drinkmaker in water or other liquids.
Do not use the drinkmaker for other than its
intended use.
The use of non-authorized accessories may
cause injuries or damage the drinkmaker.
Positioning
Ensure that sufficient space is left
around all sides of the drinkmaker to allow
air to circulate.
Do not obstruct the vents on the sides and
rear of the drinkmaker.
iii
Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric
burner, or in a heated oven.
Keep your drinkmaker away from direct
sunlight and heat sources.
Do not use outdoors. The drinkmaker is
intended for indoor use only.
Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the
table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
Use of accessory attachments are
not recommended by the drinkmaker
manufacturer and may result in fire, electrical
shock, or injury to persons.
Cords and Grounding
The drinkmaker is equipped with a power cord
having grounding wires with a grounding plug.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS: This
drinkmaker must be grounded. In the event
of malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electric
current to reduce the risk of electric shock.
This drinkmaker is equipped with a cord having
an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into
an appropriate outlet that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.

GROUNDING
PIN
Cords and Grounding (Cont.)
DANGER - Improper connection of the
equipment-grounding conductor can result
in a risk of electric shock. The conductor
with insulation having an outer surface that
is green with or without yellow stripes is the
equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or
replacement of the cord or plug is necessary,
do not connect the equipment-grounding
conductor to a live terminal. Check with a
qualified electrician or serviceman if the
grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if in doubt as to whether the
drinkmaker is properly grounded. Do not
modify the plug provided with the drinkmaker
- if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120 V
circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like
the plug illustrated in sketch A in Figure 1.
SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS: A short power
supply cord is provided to reduce the risk
of becoming entangled in or tripping over a
longer cord. If an extension cord is used: (1)
the marked electrical rating of the cord set
or extension cord should be at least as great
as the electrical rating of the appliance, (2)
the cord should be arranged so that it will not
drape over a counter-top or table top where
it can be pulled on by children or tripped over
unintentionally, and (3) the extension cord
must include a 3-prong grounding plug.
EXTERNAL CLEANING: It is ideal that the
product is unplugged while cleaning the
exterior of the appliance.
WHEN UNPLUGGING POWER: To
disconnect, turn off power switch, then
remove plug from outlet.
Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug,
grasp the plug, not the cord.

3. Place a Drinkworks™ Pod into the Pod Basket. Make sure
that the Pod is fully inserted with the barcode on the Pod
label at 12 o’clock position – facing away from you.
2. Lift up the Handle on the Pod Door to reveal the

1. Fill the Water Tank as instructed by the Display.
Making a drink.
Your drinkmaker will chill water to 35º F in an
internal reservoir. The drinkmaker will begin
cooling the water as soon as you add water to
the Water Tank. Cooling water takes time; to
speed up this process, add ice to your Water
Tank before you add water. The Display will let
you know when the drinkmaker is cooling and
how long it will take before the internal reservoir
is fully chilled. To make drinks with carbonation,
the internal reservoir must be fully chilled. You
can make non-carbonated drinks at any time,
but it is recommended that you add ice to your
glass if the internal reservoir is still “Chilling…”
To avoid additional cooling time, we recommend
that you keep your drinkmaker plugged in and
powered on all the time.
NOTE: Make sure to empty the internal
reservoir before unplugging or powering
down your drinkmaker. You can do this by
running an Empty Cycle found on page 14.

Home Bar care & cleaning.
CAUTION: Please rinse the Water Tank thoroughly after cleaning so that no cleaners
or cleaning solutions remain in this area as they may contaminate the water supply in
the drinkmaker.
1. Rinse the filter screen with the strong force of water
from your faucet.
2. If you have a sprayer, aim the water spray at the
filter screen.
3. Fill the Water Tank with approximately two inches of
clean water, close the Water Tank, and agitate (shake)
the Water Tank.
4. Empty the Water Tank then fill it with clean water and
return it to the drinkmaker. If needed, repeat the
above procedures.
Cleaning the Drinkmaker Exterior
Keep your drinkmaker looking its best by cleaning the exterior
after making drinks. Wipe down all the surfaces on your
drinkmaker with a clean, moist, lint-free, non-abrasive cloth.
Never immerse the drinkmaker in water or other liquids.
Cleaning the Drip Tray
The Drip Tray can accumulate up to 10 ounces of liquid before it
overflows. To remove the Drip Tray, slide it toward you, keeping
it level at all times to avoid spilling its contents. The Drip Tray
should occasionally be rinsed between cleanings. Clean the
Drip Tray with a damp, soapy, lint-free, non-abrasive cloth.
Cleaning the Pod Basket
Wash the Pod Basket at least once a week, but a quick rinse
after each drink is recommended—especially after making
flavorful cocktails*. The Pod Basket is removeable and can be
cleaned with a damp, soapy, lint-free, non-abrasive cloth or in
the top rack of the dishwasher. Keeping the Pod Basket clean
helps with drink quality.
*WARNING: Some beverage Pods may contain allergens such as milk, egg, wheat,
nuts, or soy, or have been produced in a facility that also produces products
containing milk, egg, wheat, nuts, or soy. Check the Pod packaging for allergen
information. If you make a drink with such a Pod, remove the Pod Basket and clean
it before your next drink, as there may be trace amounts of allergen on the basket.
Cleaning the Water Tank and Water Tank Lid
The Water Tank and Water Tank Lid should be periodically inspected and cleaned. Neither the
Water Tank or Water Tank Lid should be cleaned in the dishwasher. They should be cleaned with
a damp, soapy, lint-free, non-abrasive cloth and rinsed thoroughly. Do not dry the inside of the
Water Tank with a cloth as lint or other particles may transfer from the cloth to the Water Tank.
To clean the filter screen at the base of your Water Tank, empty the Water Tank and follow one
or all of the following procedures.
NOTE: If you are using a water filter inside the Water Tank, remove it before cleaning the Water
Tank. For water filter replacement, consult and follow the instructions and recommendations
on the filter package.
