Initial Setup

Before first use, it is essential to properly set up your Keurig B70 Platinum brewer to ensure optimal performance and taste.

First Use Instructions:

  1. Fill Water Reservoir: Remove the 60 oz. removable water reservoir from the left side of the brewer. Fill it with fresh, filtered water up to the MAX fill line. Place the reservoir back securely on the brewer.
  2. Power On: Plug the brewer into a grounded outlet. Press the power button to turn the unit on. The blue lit LCD display will illuminate.
  3. Initial Heating: The brewer will begin heating the water. This process may take approximately 4 minutes. The red light next to "HEATING" on the LED Control Center may be illuminated during this time. Once heated, the light will turn off and the "Small Mug Button" will flash.
  4. Cleansing Brew: Place a large mug or bowl on the drip tray. Press the "Small Mug Button" to start a cleansing brew. This will dispense hot water to clean the internal components. Pour the hot water into the sink.
  5. Ready to Brew: The brewer may take about 15 seconds to reheat water between brews. Once the water is heated, the red light will turn off, and the brewer is ready for use.

Care and Maintenance

Regular cleaning and maintenance will prolong the life of your Keurig B70 Platinum brewer and ensure consistent beverage quality.

Water Reservoir:

The 60 oz. water reservoir is fully removable for easy refilling and cleaning. It is recommended to clean the reservoir periodically with warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly.

Drip Tray:

The drip tray is removable for easy cleaning of spills and to accommodate taller travel mugs. Simply slide it out, empty any liquid, and wash with warm, soapy water.

Over time, calcium deposits (scale) can build up in your brewer, affecting performance. It is recommended to descale your brewer every 3 to 6 months, or more frequently if you have hard water. Refer to the full user manual for detailed descaling instructions using a descaling solution or white vinegar.
