Water Tank Repositioning

  1. Flip Brewer Over

    Remove the drip tray and the water tank and set them aside. On a flat surface, carefully turn the brewer over so the base is facing up. You will see two parts: the water tank base (Part B) and the locking tab (Part A).

  2. Remove Part A

    Slide Part A out of the brewer. It should release freely with little resistance.

  3. Lift, Pivot Part B

    Next re-position part B.

    • Gently pull outward to disengage from the brewer.
    • Rotate upward, as shown above. Part B will remain attached to the brewer.
    • Part B should now pivot freely to the second position.
      Remember to move the power card, so it does not get caught.
  4. Insert B, Replace A

    Replace Part B in its new position. Rotate downward so that B is parallel to the base, then slide B back into position. Remember to replace the power cord.
    Slide Part A back into the second position to lock B in place. Flip the brewer back upright.
    You are now ready to use your Keurig Brewer!

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 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, non-abrasive cloth.

Water Reservoir

The water reservoir should be cleaned periodically by wiping the inside of the reservoir and underside of the lid with a damp, non-abrasive, 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.

Regular Maintenance

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

Regular Maintenance

*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 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.

Funnel

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. The descaling procedure takes approximately 20 minutes.

STEP 1: Prepare the Brewer

Pour the entire bottle of Keurig® Descale 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 8oz and 12oz 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 and rinse 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 will be 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 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.

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.

Brewer Will Not Brew

  • A minimum of 6oz of water is required to brew. Add an additional 2oz 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 12oz 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.

Warranty

LIMITED ONE YEAR WARRANTY

Keurig Green Mountain, Inc. (Keurig) warrants that your brewer will be free of defects in materials or workmanship under normal home use for one year from the date of purchase. It is recommended that you register your brewer on keurig.com/new so that your purchase information will be stored in our system. Keurig will, at its option, repair or replace a defective brewer without charge upon its receipt of proof of the date of purchase. If a replacement brewer is necessary to service this warranty, the replacement brewer may be new or reconditioned.

This warranty only applies to brewers operated in the United States and Canada. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights that vary from state to state and, in the case of Canada, from province to province.

Only the use of Keurig® K-Cup® brand pods and accessories will guarantee the proper functioning and lifetime of your Keurig® brewer. Any damage to or malfunction of your brewer resulting from the use of non-Keurig® pods and accessories may not be covered by this warranty or may result in a service fee if the damage or malfunction is determined to be caused by such use.

WHAT IS NOT COVERED BY THE LIMITED WARRANTY?

THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES SUCH AS PROPERTY DAMAGE AND DOES NOT COVER INCIDENTAL COSTS AND EXPENSES RESULTING FROM ANY BREACH OF THIS WARRANTY, EVEN IF FORESEEABLE.

OTHER LIMITATIONS

THIS WARRANTY IS EXCLUSIVE AND IS IN LIEU OF ANY OTHER EXPRESS WARRANTY, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL. IN ADDITION, KEURIG HEREBY SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO YOUR KEURIG® BREWER, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Some states or provinces do not allow disclaimers of such implied warranties or limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you depending on the state or the province of purchase.

FAQ’S

How can I make sure my brewer is always ready to brew?

If you will not be using your brewer for a long period of time, remove the water reservoir and store it in a cool, dry place.

What are K-Cup® pods?

K-Cup® pods are specially designed for use with Keurig® brewers only and are recyclable through local recycling programs.

Can I reuse my K-Cups®?

No. The K-Cup® pod is not intended to be reused or recycled. For best results, use a fresh K-Cup® pod for each brew.

Can I use any brand of coffee in my Keurig® brewer?

No. Only Keurig® brand K-Cup® pods are designed for use with Keurig® brewers and should be used with your new brewer. Other brands of coffee and other types of beverages may cause damage to the machine or create safety issues. Please refer to the Use & Care Guide that came with your brewer for more information on using other brands of coffee in your Keurig® Brewer.

What’s the Difference Between the Keurig K-Supreme and the K-Supreme Plus?

The Keurig K-Supreme does not have programmable brew strength and temperature settings, while the K Supreme Plus version does.

Can you use tap water in Keurig?

It’s acceptable to use tap water in a Keurig. As long as it’s clean, water from anywhere should work. However, most would recommend using filtered or bottled water. Tap water holds more mineral content than the alternatives.

Do Keurigs have a lifetime warranty?

No, Keurig does not offer a lifetime warranty for coffee makers.

Does a Keurig use a lot of electricity?

Your Keurig® coffee maker will only use somewhere between 200- 400 watts of power to brew a K-Cup® pod since it is not heating the water from a cold start.

Does my Keurig have a reset button?

These brewers are convenient and easy to use, but they don’t have reset buttons, making the process a little trickier. Luckily, the simplest method for resetting Keurigs unplugging your Keurig for an hour or two often works! And if you’re still having issues, it may be time to descale or prime your Keurig.

Does K-Supreme Plus have auto shut off?

For energy savings, the brewer automatically turns off 5 minutes after the last brew. Press the power button to restart.

Does the K supreme have auto on?

The Keurig we have now will turn itself on each morning at 4:30 so that its heated and ready to brew and will stay on for 2 hours.”

How do I use my Keurig supreme?

The 4 cup sizes will blink. Press the 8oz button, then press the blinking brew button to start a cleansing brew. Pour the hot water into the sink. The one- time setup process is now complete and you are ready to brew!
