Caring for your Brewer

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

BREW

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

BREW

It 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.

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.

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.

• 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.

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.

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 Needle. Refer to the entrance needle care instructions.

Brewer Will Not Brew

• Press the power button. If the add water indicator flashes

blue, add water and attempt to brew. If the brewer loses

power during the brew process, the brewer may need to be

reset when power is restored. To reset, simply lift and lower

the handle.

• Check that the minimum water volume of 6oz. has been

poured into the water reservoir.

BREW Button Flashes Over 3 Minutes

• Under normal operation, the BREW button will flash red

when the brewer is heating and will turn solid red when

brewing. If the BREW button flashes red longer than 3

minutes, contact Customer Service.

Add Water Indicator Does Not Flash Blue

• If the add water indicator does not flash blue, make sure

the brewer has been powered on.

• Water may be in the water reservoir and brewer. First,

try raising the handle to drain all water from the

water reservoir into the brewer. If the light still does not

flash, power off and place a mug on the drip tray. Hold

down the BREW button and continue to hold down until all

the water is dispensed into the mug.

• If the brewer still does not operate, contact Customer Service.

Brewing a Partial Cup

• Allow enough time for water in the water reservoir to

drain completely into the brewer.

• The exit needle may be clogged.

• 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. The

add water indicator should flash blue. The power button

does not illuminate.

• 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 90 seconds 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 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.
