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.
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.
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.
K-Cup® Pod Holder
To remove the K-Cup® pod holder from
STRONG
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
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 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.
Descaling your Brewer Troubleshooting
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: Cleansing Rinse
Turn on your brewer.
Pour one third (4.6oz) of the Keurig® Descaling Solution into
the water reservoir then add fresh water to the 8oz fill level.
Place a large ceramic mug on the drip tray plate.
Lift and lower the handle but do not add a K-Cup® pod.
Press the brew button.
Once solution is dispensed, pour the contents into the sink.
STEP 2: Internal Tank Soak
Repeat step 1, but when the brew indicator light turns solid,
press the power button as the brewer starts to dispense.
Let the brewer stand for at least 30 minutes.
Press and hold the brew button until the solution begins to
dispense. Continue to hold the button until all of the solution
has been dispensed.
Pour the contents of the mug into the sink.
STEP 3: Fresh Water Rinse
Repeat step 1 using 8oz 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.
• 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.
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
• 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
• Press the power button. Press and hold the brew button
for 5 seconds until all of the water has been dispensed.
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
90 seconds after the last brew. Press the power button to
restart.
• If the brewer still doesn’t have power, contact your Keurig®
Authorized Service Provider .
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.
