Maintenance & Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures best performance and taste.

  2. Water Reservoir & Lid: Wash weekly with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly.
  3. Drip Tray & Pod Holder: Remove and wash with warm, soapy water. Empty the drip tray regularly.
  4. Needle: If clogged, turn off and unplug the brewer. Use a paper clip to gently clear the entry and exit needles.

CAUTION! Unplug the brewer and allow it to cool completely before cleaning. Never immerse the brewer base, cord, or plug in water.

Descaling

Descaling removes mineral buildup from internal components. The descale indicator light will illuminate when necessary.

  1. Purchase Keurig Descaling Solution or a vinegar solution (white vinegar and water).
  2. Fill the water reservoir with the descaling solution or a mixture of half white vinegar and half water.
  3. Place a large mug on the drip tray. Run a brew cycle without a K-Cup pod. Discard the liquid.
  4. Repeat brew cycles until the "Add Water" indicator appears.
  5. Rinse thoroughly: Fill the reservoir with fresh water and run multiple brew cycles (without a pod) until the vinegar smell is gone.
  6. The descale light will turn off after the process is complete.

WARNING! Follow descaling instructions precisely. Improper descaling can damage the brewer.
