Caring for your Brewer

Regular cleaning keeps your brewer running smoothly. Always be sure to turn off and unplug your brewer before cleaning.

Brewer Exterior

Keep your Keurig® brewer looking its best by cleaning the exterior from time to time. Just clean with a damp, soapy, lint-free, non-abrasive cloth. Never immerse the brewer in water or other liquids.

Drip Tray

The drip tray can hold up to 10 ounces of overflow and should be emptied and cleaned occasionally. To remove, slide it toward you, keeping it level to avoid spilling. Rinse and clean with a damp, soapy, lint-free, non-abrasive cloth.

Water Reservoir

t is normal over time for discoloration, spotting, or staining to appear in the water reservoir. Results will vary depending on the mineral content of the water used but will not affect the operation of the brewer. However, be sure to clean the water reservoir regularly to minimize build-up. To access the water reservoir, lift the lid and then clean the inside of the reservoir with a damp, non-abrasive, lint-free cloth. Lower the lid when finished.

K-Cup® Pod Holder

To remove the K-Cup® pod holder from the brewer, lift the handle and grasp the top of the K-Cup® pod holder with one hand while pushing up on the bottom of the K-Cup® pod holder from underneath with the other until it releases. After cleaning, align the K-Cup® pod holder with the opening using the two front ribs as a guide and snap into place from the top.

CAUTION: There are sharp needles that puncture the K-Cup® pod above the K-Cup® pod holder and in the bottom of the K-Cup® pod holder. To avoid risk of injury, do not put your fingers in the K-Cup® pod holder.

Funnel 

The funnel can be removed from the K-Cup® pod holder by pulling on it until it pops off. To replace it, just snap it back onto the K-Cup® pod holder.

Exit Needle

Remove the pod holder assembly and detach the funnel. Locate the exit needle on the inside bottom of the K-Cup® pod holder. Insert a straightened paper clip into the exit needle to loosen the clog and push it out.

Entrance Needle

Lift the brewer handle and locate the entrance needle on the underside of the lid. To clean both holes in the needle, hold the brewer handle in the upward position and with your other hand, carefully insert a straightened paper clip into both holes. Gently move it around to loosen any coffee grounds. Lower the handle completely and run two water-only brew cycles. Do not insert a K-Cup® pod.

TIP: Refer to support.Keurig.com for video instructions on cleaning the entrance/exit needles.

Descaling your Brewer

You should descale your brewer every 3-6 months. Properly follow the descaling procedure.

Depending on the mineral content of your water, calcium deposits or scale may build up in your brewer. Scale is nontoxic but if left unattended can hinder brewer performance. Regularly descaling your brewer every 3-6 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.

Descaling Procedure

Before you begin, you will need a large ceramic mug, fresh water, Keurig® Descaling Solution, and access to a sink. Do not use a paper cup. Ensure that there is no beverage pod in the K-Cup® pod holder. Please allow approximately 45 minutes for the descaling procedure.

STEP 1: Descaling Solution Rinse

Turn on your brewer.

Pour one third (4.6oz.) of the Keurig® Descaling Solution into the water reservoir then add slightly less than 3/4 cups of fresh water.

Place a large ceramic mug on the drip tray plate.

Lift the handle but do not add a K-Cup® pod.

After 5 seconds, lower handle and press the BREW button.

Once solution is dispensed, discard hot contents into sink.

STEP 2: Descaling Rinse & Repeat

Repeat step 1, when the BREW button turns solid red, press the power button as the brewer starts to dispense.

Let brewer stand for at least 30 minutes.

Power on the brewer, lift and lower the handle, then press the BREW button.

Discard the hot contents into sink.

STEP 3: Fresh Water Rinse

Repeat step 1 using 10oz. of fresh water only. Do not add Keurig® Descaling Solution. Repeat this step two additional times. You may need to perform additional fresh water rinse cycles if you notice any residual taste.

Helpful Hints

Water quality varies greatly. If you notice an undesirable taste in your beverage (such as chlorine or mineral tastes), we recommend using bottled or filtered water. Do not use distilled water.

Service

Beyond these recommended cleaning and maintenance procedures, this brewer is not user serviceable. For service, please refer to the Warranty section of this guide.

Storage

Empty the internal hot water tank and water reservoir before storing or transporting. To empty the internal hot water tank - the brewer must be powered off but plugged in. Place a mug on the drip tray. Press and hold the BREW button and continue to hold until all of the water is dispensed into the mug. There will be a 3 to 5 second delay before the water begins to dispense.

Store your brewer in a safe and frost free environment in its upright position. If you store the brewer in a cold environment, you run the risk of any residual condensation to freeze inside the brewer, causing damage. When you prepare to use it after storage, we recommend wiping the water reservoir with a damp, non-abrasive, lint-free cloth and running three rinsing brews without a K-Cup® pod. Let the brewer rest at room temperature for at least 2 hours before powering on.

Troubleshooting

Grounds in Your Coffee

Grounds may have gathered in the exit or entrance needles and can be cleaned using a straightened paper clip or similar tool.
