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 the metal areas with a paper towel and a non vinegar glass cleaner, and the plastic with a damp, soapy, lint-free, nonabrasive cloth. Never immerse the brewer in water or other liquids.

Water Reservoir
The water reservoir should be cleaned periodically by wiping the inside of the reservoir and underside of the lid with a damp, nonabrasive, lint-free cloth. Do not dry the inside of the water reservoir with a cloth, as lint may remain. Allow the reservoir to dry completely.

Drip Tray
The drip tray can hold up to 8 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, nonabrasive cloth.

Regular Maintenance
For great-tasting coffee, keep your brewer running at peak performance by following the recommended maintenance schedule:

cup of coffee every time
Every 2 months| Keurig@  Water  Filters| Keep your water fresh and clean to enhance the Toste of your coffee
Every 3 months or when the Descale notification turns on*| Keurig  Descaling Solution| Eliminate mineral buildup to enhance the taste of your coffee and preserve the long-term heath of your coffeemaker

*To turn off Descale notification, follow the full descaling procedure as outlined in the Use & Care Guide.

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 hand 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.
NOTE: Always remove and dispose of the used K-Cup® pod after brewing.

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 any coffee grounds.

Funnel
Washing the funnel ensures a fresh beverage experience. The funnel should be washed regularly and can be removed from the K-Cup® pod holder by pulling on it until it pops off. To replace it, orient the snaps to the indent and just snap it back onto the K-Cup® pod holder.

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

Descaling Your Brewer

You should descale your brewer every 3 months or when the descale notification turns on. Properly follow the descaling procedure in order to turn off the notification.
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 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: Prepare the Brewer
Pour the entire bottle of Keurig® Descaling Solution into an empty water reservoir. Then, fill the empty bottle with water and pour into the water reservoir. Do not insert a K-Cup® pod. Place a large mug on the drip tray.

STEP 2: Descale the Brewer
To activate Descale Mode, begin with the brewer plugged in and powered off, then press and hold the 8 oz and 12 oz buttons together for 3 seconds. When flashing, press the BREW button to start the descaling process. Once the brew is complete, pour the hot liquid into the sink. Repeat this step until the ADD WATER light illuminates.

STEP 3: Fresh Water Rinse
Empty the water reservoir and refill to the MAX FILL line with fresh water. When flashing, press the BREW button to start the rinsing process. Once the brew is complete, pour the hot liquid into the sink. Repeat this step until the DESCALE notification turns off. The brewer has now exited Descale Mode and is ready for use!

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 descale is added. If this occurs, you may see only a small amount 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.

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.

• Clean the exit needle of the K-Cup® pod holder. Refer to the exit needle care instructions.
• Clean the brewer entrance needles. Refer to the entrance needles care instructions.

For optimal enjoyment and to limit grounds in your cup during hot water brews or when transitioning from brewing a coffee pod to a non-coffee pod (e.g., tea or cocoa), clean the exit and entrance needles per the instructions provided and perform 2 cleansing brews.

Brewer Will Not Brew

• A minimum of 6 oz of water is required to brew. Add an additional 2 oz of water to the reservoir to ensure the minimum fill level has been met, then press the BREW button. Repeat until the brewer begins to dispense.

Brewing a Partial Cup

• Power the brewer off. Press and hold the BREW button and 12 oz button for 5 seconds until water starts dispensing. Then release and let the water purge. Discard the contents into the sink. Press the power button to restart.
• The exit needle may be clogged. Refer to the exit needle care instructions.
• Clean the K-Cup® pod holder; see K-Cup® pod holder care instructions.
• The brewer may need to be descaled. If you have repeated the descale procedure on your brewer two times and it is still only brewing a partial cup, contact customer service.

Brewer Does Not Have Power or Shuts Off

• Make sure that the power button has been turned on.
• Plug brewer into its own grounded outlet. If the electric circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your brewer may not function properly. The brewer should be operated on its own circuit, separate from other appliances.
• For energy savings, the brewer automatically turns off 5 minutes after the last brew. Press the power button to restart.
• If the brewer still doesn’t have power, contact customer service.

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 water reservoir before storing or transporting and take care to ensure that you store your brewer in a safe and frost-free environment. When you prepare to use it after storage, we recommend rinsing the water reservoir with fresh water and descaling the brewer as detailed in the Descaling Your Brewer section.
If you plan to move your brewer to a different location, turn the brewer off, unplug it, and empty the water reservoir. If your brewer has been in an environment below freezing, please be sure to let it warm to room temperature for at least 2 hours before using.
