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

To remove the K-Cup pod holder, lift the handle and grasp the top with one hand while pushing up on the bottom from underneath with the other until it releases. After cleaning, align the pod holder with the opening using the two front ribs as a guide and snap it into place from the top. The funnel can be removed by pulling on it until it pops off, and replaced by snapping it back onto the pod holder. (Page 3)
