How do I clean and maintain the K-Cup pod holder and needles?

To clean the exit needle, remove the pod holder and funnel, then insert a straightened paper clip into the exit needle to loosen any coffee grounds. To clean the entrance needle, lift the brewer handle and carefully insert a straightened paper clip into all three holes of the needle, then run two water-only brew cycles. Avoid putting your fingers in the pod holder due to sharp needles. (Page 5)
