SECTION 3 Cleaning & Maintenance
Descaling Procedure
Empty the water from the Water Reservoir. If there is a Keurig
™
Water
Filter, remove and set aside. Disable Auto Off features for your brewer
(refer to page 12).
STEP 1: FIRST DESCALING SOLUTION RINSE
• Press the Power Switch to power the brewer off.
• Pour the entire bottle of Keurig
™
Descaling Solution into the Water
Reservoir. Then fill the empty bottle with bottled or filtered water and pour
into the Water Reservoir. Press the Power Switch to turn the brewer
back on.
• Place a large mug on the Drip Tray Plate and run a cleansing brew using
the largest brew size. Do not add a K-Cup
®
pod. Pour the contents of the
mug into the sink.
STEP 2: SECOND DESCALING SOLUTION RINSE
• Repeat the brew process without a K-Cup
®
pod, until “ADD WATER” is
indicated. Let the brewer stand for at least 30 minutes while still on.
• After 30 minutes, discard any residual solution, and rinse the Water Reser-
voir thoroughly.
STEP 3: FRESH WATER RINSE
• Ensure the Water Reservoir is filled with fresh water.
• Place a large mug on the Drip Tray Plate and run a cleansing brew using
the largest brew size. Do not add a K-Cup
®
pod. Pour the contents of the
mug into the sink.
• Repeat brew process until you have completed at least 12 brews using the
largest brew size. You may need to refill the Water Reservoir at least one
time during this process.
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 the brewer to sit
unplugged for at least 30 minutes before continuing with the rinse.
For further descale information please contact your Keurig Authorized Distributor.

Purging the Brewer
