K-2500™ BREWER
BREWER CARE, CONT.
Entrance Needle
The entrance needle is
located on the underside of the lid.
To clean the needle:
With one hand, lift
and hold the brewer handle in the raised
position; with your other hand, carefully
insert a straightened paper clip into the hole
and gently move the paper clip around to
loosen any coffee grounds. Lower the handle
completely and run two cleansing brews.
Do not insert a K-Cup® pod during the
cleansing process.
Puncture Mechanism (PM) Base
Remove the K-Cup® pod holder (see K-Cup®
pod holder cleaning instructions). Place
your finger in the hole in the center of the
puncture mechanism base plate and gently
pull down until it releases from the PM.
Wash the PM base plate with soap and
water and wipe the inside of the PM with a
damp cloth. Replace the PM base by gently
placing it into the bottom of the PM and
snapping it back into place. Reinstall the
K-Cup® pod holder.
Sanitizing
Keurig® recommends
weekly sanitizing
of the brewer using URNEX®† Complete
Café™ Equipment Sanitizer. Follow the
instructions for cleaning and descaling
before sanitizing.

15 ml of
Complete Cafe™ solution
into the provided measuring cup/lid and
add to one gallon of water

“filling hot water tank” progress bar
is complete, power the brewer off.

to the reservoir
(IMAGE C)
.
Place a ceramic mug on the drip tray.
Do not use a paper or plastic cup.
Run a 12-ounce brew cycle (do not add
a K-Cup® pod). Discard the hot contents
into a sink. Repeat this sanitizing process
three more times.
For Water Reservoirs only:
Discard remaining sanitizing solution in
the reservoir tank, rinse, and refill tank
with clean water.
Next, run four rinsing brews to remove any
additional sanitizer that may remain in the
brew path.
Allow the brewer to air dry before use.
