CARING FOR YOUR BREWER

KEURIG® CARAFE OPERATION

The unique Keurig® Carafe was specifically designed for use with the Keurig® Plus Series brewer. To connect the Keurig® Carafe to the brewer, make sure the Keurig® Carafe is securely inserted into the brewer. The Keurig® Plus Series brewer contains a sensory system that determines when the Keurig® Carafe is in place and it is safe to begin brewing. If the Keurig® Carafe is not in place or is incorrectly inserted, the brewing process will not begin. If the Keurig® Carafe is removed during brewing, brewing will stop. To maintain the ideal combination of taste, freshness, and temperature, we recommend preheating the Keurig® Carafe. To preheat the Keurig® Carafe, fill it with hot water for approximately 30 seconds and then pour out entirely prior to placing the Keurig® Carafe into the brewer.

CAUTION:

• Make sure the Keurig® Carafe is empty before each use.

• After brewing, the Keurig® Carafe will contain extremely hot liquid. Take care when pouring from the Keurig® Carafe. Never place your hand over the Keurig® Carafe where hot steam is venting. Never allow children to use the Keurig® Carafe or operate the brewer without adult supervision. Press the Power Button to terminate the brew process. Follow the instructions on the Touch Display before removing the Keurig® Carafe. The brewer will return to the home screen. Remove and discard the used K-Carafe® pod.

• There is extremely hot water in the Pod Holder during the brew process.

• To avoid risk of injury, do not lift the Handle during the brewing process.

• HAND-WASH ONLY. DO NOT SUBMERGE. DO NOT MICROWAVE.

NOTE: CARAFE NOT INCLUDED WITH BREWER.

CLEANING THE EXIT NEEDLE

1. If a clog arises in the Exit Needle, push the lever of the Pod Holder to reveal the Exit Needle.

2. Use a paper clip or similar tool to loosen the clog. Rinse thoroughly with hot water.

3. After all the pieces are cleaned,place the Base then the Pod Holder ssembly into the Brew Head. lower the Handle.

CAUTION: Sharp needles. Do not put fingers in chamber.

TIME TO DESCALE THE BREWER

Depending on the mineral content of your water, calcium deposits or scale may build up in your brewer, this is why we recommend using bottled or filtered water. Scale is non-toxic but if left unattended can hinder brewer performance. Regularly descaling your brewer every three to six months helps maintain the heating element, and other internal parts that come in contact with water. Calcium deposits may build up faster, making it necessary to descale more often.

You should promptly descale when the Touch Display indicates “Time to descale the brewer!” However, even if this is not indicated, you should continue to descale your brewer every three to six months.

DESCALING YOUR BREWER

Before you begin, you will need a large mug, fresh water, Keurig® Descaling Solution, and access to a sink. Do not use a paper cup.

• Empty the water from the Water Reservoir. If there is a Keurig® Water Filter, remove and set aside.

STEP 1: FIRST DESCALING SOLUTION RINSE

• Press and hold the Power Button to power the brewer off.
• Pour the entire bottle of Keurig® Descaling Solution into the Water Reservoir. Then fill the empty bottle with water and pour into the Water Reservoir. Press and hold the Power Button to turn the brewer back on.
• Place a large mug on the Drip Tray and run a cleansing brew by lifting and lowering the Handle, selecting a 10 ounce Brew Size and pressing the Brew Button. The brewer will stop dispensing after 10 ounces. Do not use a Keurig brand pod. Pour the contents of the mug into the sink.

STEP 2: SECOND DESCALING SOLUTION RINSE

• Repeat the cleansing brew process until the Touch Display indicates “More Water Please.” Let the brewer stand for at least 30 minutes while still on.
• After 30 minutes, discard any residual solution and rinse the Water Reservoir thoroughly.

STEP 3: FRESH WATER RINSE

• Ensure the Water Reservoir is filled with fresh water to and not beyond the MAX FILL line.
• Place a large mug on the Drip Tray and run a cleansing brew. Pour the contents of the mug into the sink.
• Repeat the cleansing brew process at least 12 times. You may need to refill the Water Reservoir at least one time during this process.

NOTE: If “Time to descale the brewer!” is still indicated after completing the procedure, repeat the descaling procedure above.

The cleaning action of Keurig® Descaling Solution may result in a foam dispensed from the brewer. This is natural, as the solution is reacting with the scale inside. For a brewer that is heavily scaled, the brewer may not fill properly after the descaler is added. If this occurs, you may see only a small or no output dispensed followed by the sound of air blowing out. If this occurs:

• Turn off and unplug the brewer.
• If there is Keurig® Descaling Solution in the Water Reservoir, discard the contents, rinse the Water Reservoir thoroughly and refill with bottled or filtered water.
• Plug the brewer back in, power on, and repeat STEP 3: FRESH WATER RINSE (refer to page 10). The brewer should begin to function normally as the solution is rinsed out and the scale is removed. If the problem persists, allow the brewer to sit unplugged for at least 30 minutes then continue with the fresh water rinse.

RECYCLING K-CARAFE® POD CUPS

STOPPING THE BREW PROCESS

FOR K-CUP® PODS AND K-CARAFE® PODS (KEURIG BREW™ SETTING 1)

To stop the brewing process, press and hold the Power Button for one second. Remove and dispose of any used pod. Brewing a used pod is not recommended.

ADDING WATER

Your Keurig® Plus Series brewer will indicate when the water level in the Water Reservoir is low and you will not be able to brew. The brewer will only indicate “More Water Please.” if there is not enough to complete your brew. For example: A Keurig® Carafe will require more water than a 10 ounce mug.

WATER FILTER ALERT

Your brewer is designed to deliver the perfect cup time after time, year after year. To keep it working at peak performance, your Keurig® Plus Series brewer will let you know when it needs a little attention.

TIME TO REPLACE THE KEURIG® WATER FILTER (VISIT KEURIG.COM TO PURCHASE)

Your brewer will indicate “Time to replace the Water Filter.” after every 1,000 ounces or two months. Once you’ve replaced the Keurig® Water Filter, press YES to reset the WATER FILTER REMINDER notices.
