TIPS & MAINTENANCE
CARING FOR YOUR BREWER
DESCALING YOUR BREWER
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 3-6 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.
You should promptly descale if the red Descale Light is
illuminated. However, even if the red Descale Light is not
illuminated you should continue to descale your brewer every
3-6 months. Properly follow the descaling procedure.
DESCALING PROCEDURE
Before you begin, you will need a large ceramic mug, fresh water, descale 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. Disable “Auto Off” features, if necessary (refer to page 14).
STEP 1: FIRST DESCALING SOLUTION RINSE
• Press 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
the Power Button to turn the brewer back on.
• Place a large mug on the Drip Tray Plate and run a cleansing brew using the
largest brew size. Do not use a K-Cup® pod. Pour the contents of the mug
into the sink.
STEP 2: SECOND DESCALING SOLUTION RINSE
• Repeat the brew process without a K-Cup® pod, until ADD WATER is
indicated. Let 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 Plate and run a cleansing brew using the
largest brew size. Do not use a K-Cup® pod. Pour the contents of the mug
into the sink.
• Repeat brew process until you have completed at least 12 brews using the
largest brew size. You may need to refill the Water Reservoir at least one
time during this process.
NOTE: If the red Descale Light is still illuminated after completing the procedure, repeat the descaling procedure above.
NOTE: 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 water.
• Plug the brewer back in, power on, and repeat the Step 3 Fresh Water
Rinse cycle. The brewer should begin to function normally as the solution is
rinsed out and the scale is removed. If problem persists, allow brewer to sit
unplugged for at least 30 minutes before continuing with the rinse.
