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

You should descale your brewer every 3-6 months. Properlyfollow the descaling procedure.Depending on the mineral content of your water, calciumdeposits or scale may build up in your brewer. Scale is nontoxicbut if left unattended can hinder brewer performance.Regularly descaling your brewer every 3-6 months helpsmaintain the heating element, and other internal parts thatcome in contact with water. Calcium deposits may build upfaster, making it necessary to descale more often.

Descaling ProcedureBefore you begin, you will need a large ceramic mug, freshwater, Keurig® Descaling Solution, and access to a sink.Do not use a paper cup. Ensure that there is no beveragepod in the K-Cup® pod holder. Please allow approximately45 minutes for the descaling procedure.

STEP 1: Cleansing RinseTurn on your brewer.Pour one third (4.6oz) of the Keurig® Descaling Solution intothe water reservoir then add fresh water to the 10oz 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 SoakRepeat 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 todispense. Continue to hold the button until all of the solutionhas been dispensed.Pour the contents of the mug into the sink.

STEP 3: Fresh Water RinseRepeat step 1 using 12oz of fresh water only. Do not addKeurig® Descaling Solution. Repeat this step two additionaltimes. You may need to perform additional fresh water rinsecycles 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 notfill 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 reservoirthoroughly and refill with water.
  • Plug the brewer back in, power on, and repeat the Step 3 Fresh Water Rinse cycle. The brewer should begin tofunction normally as the solution is rinsed out and the scale is removed. If problem persists, allow brewer to situnplugged for at least 30 minutes before continuing with the rinse.
