2. Initial Clean
Before first use, wash the water reservoir and drip tray with mild dish soap and rinse thoroughly. Do not place these parts in a dishwasher. Wipe the exterior of the brewer with a damp cloth.

Remove the water reservoir from the brewer. Fill it with fresh, filtered water up to the "MAX" fill line. Avoid using distilled water. Place the reservoir back onto the brewer, ensuring it is seated firmly.

4. Cleansing Brew
Plug the brewer into a grounded outlet. Place a large mug on the drip tray. Lift and lower the handle without inserting a K-Cup pod. Select a brew size (e.g., 8oz) and press the brew button. This will dispense hot water, cleaning the internal components. Discard the hot water. Your brewer is now ready for use.

Maintenance
Regular cleaning and descaling will ensure your Keurig K-Supreme Plus operates efficiently and maintains coffee quality.
1. Cleaning the Brewer
- Exterior: Wipe the exterior surfaces with a damp, non-abrasive cloth.

2. Descaling
Over time, calcium deposits (scale) can build up in your brewer. Descaling is important to maintain performance. Keurig recommends descaling every 3-6 months, depending on water hardness.
- Turn off and unplug the brewer.
- Empty the water reservoir.
- Pour an entire bottle of Keurig Descaling Solution into the water reservoir.
- Fill the empty descaling solution bottle with water and pour it into the reservoir.
- Plug the brewer back in and turn it on.
- Place a large mug on the drip tray.
- Perform a cleansing brew (without a K-Cup pod) using the largest brew size. Repeat this process until the "ADD WATER" light illuminates.
- Let the brewer stand for at least 30 minutes while the descaling solution works.
- After 30 minutes, empty and rinse the water reservoir.
- Fill the reservoir with fresh water.
- Perform at least 12 cleansing brews (without a K-Cup pod) using the largest brew size to rinse out any remaining descaling solution. Refill the reservoir with fresh water as needed.
