4. Maintenance

Cleaning the Drip Tray

The drip tray can accumulate spills and should be cleaned regularly. Simply remove the drip tray, empty any liquid, and wash with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and dry before replacing.

Descaling

Over time, calcium deposits (scale) can build up in your brewer, affecting performance. The Keurig K-Mini Mate features a descaling indicator light. When this light illuminates, it's time to descale your brewer. Refer to the full user manual for detailed descaling instructions using Keurig Descaling Solution.
