Descaling Your Brewer
You should descale your brewer every 3 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 non toxic but if left unattended can hinder brewer performance.
Regularly descaling your brewer every 3 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 15-20 minutes for the descaling procedure.
STEP 1: Descaling Solution Rinse
