Descaling Your Brewer

Mineral deposits can build up in your coffee maker over time, affecting performance. The 'Descale' indicator light will illuminate when descaling is recommended. Follow the descaling instructions provided in the full user manual or on the Keurig website.

General Cleaning

Wipe down the exterior of the brewer with a damp, non-abrasive cloth. Do not immerse the brewer in water or other liquids.

Troubleshooting

• Brewer Not Powering On: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a grounded outlet.
• 'Add Water' Light Stays On: Check that the water reservoir is filled to the MAX fill line and properly seated.
• 'Descale' Light Stays On After Descaling: Ensure the descaling process was completed according to the full instructions. Sometimes, a second descaling cycle may be necessary for stubborn mineral buildup.
• Coffee Not Brewing: Verify a K-Cup pod is properly inserted and the handle is fully lowered. Check water level.
• Weak Coffee: Ensure you are using fresh K-Cup pods. Consider a smaller brew size for a stronger cup.
