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. If a replacement brewer is sent, a new limited 

one year warranty will be applied to the replacement brewer.
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.

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 K200 

SERIES 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.

HOW DO YOU OBTAIN WARRANTY SERVICE?

Keurig® brewers are high-quality appliances and, with proper care, 

are intended to provide years of satisfying performance. However, 

should the need arise for warranty servicing, simply call Keurig 

Customer Service at our toll free phone number 1.866.901.BREW 

(2739). Please do not return your brewer for servicing without first 

speaking to Keurig Customer Service to obtain a Return Materials 

Authorization (RMA) number. Keurig® brewers returned without a 

RMA number will be returned to the sender without servicing.

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.
Some states or provinces do not allow the exclusion or limitations 

of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or 

exclusion may not apply to you depending on the state or province 

of purchase.

 

Nor does this warranty cover damages caused by use of non-Keurig® 

pods or accessories, services performed by anyone other than 

Keurig or its authorized service providers, use of parts other than 

genuine Keurig® parts, or external causes such as abuse, misuse, 

inappropriate power supply, or acts of God.

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. You can 

also install a Keurig® Water Filter to help remove water impurities 

and improve beverage taste.

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. Please be sure to store your brewer in its upright 

position to avoid water leakage from the inner tank. If you store 

the brewer in a cold environment, you run the risk of water freezing 

inside the brewer and causing damage. When you prepare to use it 

after storage, we recommend rinsing the water reservoir with fresh 

water and running three rinsing brews without a K-Cup® pod.
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.

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. 

Pod Holder

Lift the handle. Push up 

while grabbing the sides 

of the pod holder assem-

bly. Pull away from brewer. 

Pull out the pod holder 

assembly and base. Press 

the release buttons on 

both sides of the pod 

holder assembly. Separate 

the pod holder from the 

housing. Clean the pod 

holder (1), housing (2), 

and base (3) with a damp, 

soapy, lint-free, non-

abrasive cloth and rinse 

thoroughly. After all pieces 

are cleaned, reassemble 

the pod holder assembly 

by inserting the pod 

holder back into the 

housing. Place the base, 

then the pod holder 

assembly into the brew 

head. Lower the handle.

CAUTION: 

Sharp needles. Do not 

put fingers in chamber. 

 

Cleaning the Exit Needle

If a clog arises in the exit 

needle, push the lever of 

the pod holder to reveal 

the exit needle. Use a 

paper clip or similar tool to 

loosen the clog. Rinse 

thoroughly with hot water. 

After all the pieces are 

cleaned, place the base 

then the pod holder 

assembly into the brew 

head. Lower the handle.  

CAUTION: 

Sharp needles. Do not 

put fingers in chamber. 

Cleaning Entrance Needles

Lift the brewer handle and locate the top entrance needles on 

the underside of the lid. To clean both holes in the needles, hold 

the brewer handle in the upward position and with your other 

hand, carefully insert a straightened paper clip into the 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.

NOTE: 

You can also use a Brewer Maintenance Accessory tool to clean the entrance 

needles. Reach out to Customer Service to get a Brewer Maintenance Accessory. 

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 & Reservoir Lid

The water reservoir lid and water reservoir should be periodically 

cleaned with a damp, soapy, non-abrasive cloth and rinsed 

thoroughly. The water reservoir lid and water reservoir should 

not be put into the dishwasher. Do not dry the inside of the 

water reservoir with a cloth as lint may remain. If needed, 

repeat above procedures.

CAUTION: 

Please rinse the water reservoir thoroughly after cleaning. This will ensure 

that no cleaning solutions remain in this area as they may contaminate the water 

supply in the brewer.

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 non-toxic 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. 

You should promptly descale when the 

touch screen indicates “Time to descale 

the brewer!”

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.
Empty the water from the water reservoir. If there is a Keurig® 

Water Filter, remove and set aside. 

STEP 1: Descaling Solution Rinse

Press and hold the power button to power the brewer off.
Pour the entire bottle of Keurig® Descaling Solution into an emptied 

water reservoir. Then fill the empty bottle with water and pour into 

the water reservoir. Press and hold the power button to turn the 

brewer back on.
Place a large mug on the drip tray and run a cleansing brew by 

lifting and lowering the handle, selecting the largest brew size and 

pressing the brew button. 

STEP 2: Descaling Rinse & Repeat

Repeat the rinsing brew process until the touch screen indicates 

“More Water Please”. Do not use a K-Cup® pod. Let the brewer 

stand for at least 30 minutes while still on.
After 30 minutes, discard any residual solution from the water 

reservoir and rinse thoroughly.

STEP 3: Fresh Water Rinse 

Fill the water reservoir with fresh water to and not beyond the 

MAX

 line.

Place a large mug on the drip tray plate and run a rinsing brew using 

the largest brew size. 
Do not use a K-Cup® pod. Pour the contents of the mug into the sink.
Repeat brew process until you have completed at least 12 rinsing 

brews. 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 brewer to sit unplugged for at least 30 
minutes before continuing with the rinse.

NOTE: 

If “Time to descale the brewer!” alert is still indicated on the touch screen, repeat 

the descaling procedure.
