Brewing Your Coffee

Brewing a K-Cup® Pod

Step 1: Place Mug

Place a mug on the drip tray plate. If using a travel mug, remove the drip tray and place the mug on the drip tray base. To dispense hot water, lift and lower the handle without inserting a K-Cup® pod, select your cup size, then press the brew button.

Step 3: Select Size & Strength

Select your brew size using the arrows on the screen. Select STRONG if desired (this setting is for coffee). Press HOT COCOA/OTHER for select non-coffee beverages. Always check instructions on the pod packaging.

CAUTION: There is extremely hot water in the K-Cup® pod during the brew process. To avoid injury, do not lift the handle during the brew process.

Step 4: Brew & Enjoy

Press the blinking brew button. The button will remain illuminated while brewing, for about 1 minute. The brewer will notify you when the brew cycle is complete. Lift the handle and dispose of the used K-Cup® pod. The brewer will be ready to brew another cup in about a minute. Note: To stop the brewing process, press and hold the power button for one second.

Step 3: Select Brew Size

Select the KEURIG BREW setting that matches the number on the pod lid. Then select the number of desired cups. Ensure the number on the touch screen matches the number on the K-Carafe® pod.

CAUTION: There is extremely hot water in the K-Carafe® pod during the brew process. To avoid injury, do not lift the handle during the brew process.

Step 4: Brew & Enjoy

Press the blinking brew button. The button will remain illuminated while brewing. The brewer will notify you when the brew cycle is complete. Lift the handle and dispose of the used K-Carafe® pod. Note: To stop the brewing process, press and hold the power button for one second.

Caring For Your Brewer

Regular cleaning keeps your brewer running smoothly. Always turn off and unplug your brewer before cleaning.

Brewer Exterior

Clean the exterior with a damp, soapy, lint-free, non-abrasive cloth. Never immerse the brewer in water or other liquids.

Drip Tray

The drip tray holds up to 8 ounces of overflow. To remove, slide it toward you, keeping it level to avoid spilling. Rinse and clean with a damp, soapy, lint-free, non-abrasive cloth.

Water Reservoir & Reservoir Lid

Periodically clean the water reservoir lid and reservoir with a damp, soapy, non-abrasive cloth and rinse thoroughly. They are not dishwasher safe. Do not dry the inside of the water reservoir with a cloth, as lint may remain. Rinse thoroughly after cleaning to ensure no cleaning solutions remain.

Cleaning Entrance Needles

Lift the brewer handle. Locate the top entrance needles on the underside of the lid. Hold the handle upward and carefully insert a straightened paper clip into the holes to loosen coffee grounds. Lower the handle and run two water-only brew cycles without a pod. A Brewer Maintenance Accessory tool can also be used.

Cleaning the Exit Needle

If a clog occurs, push the lever of the pod holder to reveal the exit needle. Use a paper clip or similar tool to loosen the clog. Rinse thoroughly with hot water. Reassemble the pod holder assembly and lower the handle.

CAUTION: Sharp needles. Do not put fingers in chamber.

Descaling Your Brewer

Descale your brewer every 3-6 months to maintain performance and prevent scale buildup. Promptly descale when the touch screen indicates "Time to descale the brewer!".

Descaling Procedure

You will need a large ceramic mug, fresh water, Keurig® Descaling Solution, and access to a sink. Allow approximately 45 minutes.

Step 1: Descaling Solution Rinse

Power off the brewer. Pour the entire bottle of Keurig® Descaling Solution into the empty water reservoir. Fill the empty bottle with water and pour into the reservoir. Power the brewer back on. Place a large mug on the drip tray and run a cleansing brew using the largest brew size.

Step 2: Descaling Rinse & Repeat

Repeat the rinsing brew process until the touch screen indicates "More Water Please". Do not use a K-Cup® pod. Let the brewer stand for at least 30 minutes while on. Discard residual solution, rinse the reservoir thoroughly.

Step 3: Fresh Water Rinse

Fill the water reservoir with fresh water to the MAX line. Place a large mug on the drip tray plate and run a rinsing brew using the largest brew size. Do not use a K-Cup® pod. Pour contents into the sink. Repeat until at least 12 rinsing brews are completed, refilling the reservoir as needed. Note: Foam dispensed from the brewer is normal.

If the brewer does not function properly after descaling (e.g., no output), turn off, unplug, discard any solution, rinse the reservoir, refill with water, plug in, power on, and repeat the Fresh Water Rinse cycle. If the problem persists, allow the brewer to sit unplugged for 30 minutes before continuing.

Troubleshooting

Brewer Does Not Have Power or Shuts Off

• Press and hold the power button to ensure the touch screen is illuminated.
• Plug the brewer into its own grounded outlet. Operate on its own circuit, separate from other appliances.
• If the brewer still has no power, contact Customer Service.

Grounds in Your Coffee

• Clean the exit needle of the K-Cup® pod holder.
• Clean the brewer entrance needles.

Brewing a Partial Cup

• The exit needle may be clogged. Refer to Exit Needle care instructions.
• The water reservoir may have been removed during brewing. Replace it and perform a rinsing brew without a K-Cup® pod.
• The brewer may need to be descaled. If descaling twice does not resolve the issue, contact Customer Service.

Brewer Will Not Brew

• Ensure the handle is lowered completely after placing a pod and the touch screen displays the appropriate brew screen.
• If the touch screen indicates "More Water Please", add water or ensure the reservoir is seated properly.
• If "More Water Please" persists, empty and clean the reservoir, refill, and reseat it properly.
• The pod holder may need cleaning or the brewer may need descaling.

Touch Screen Alerts

• "More Water Please": If water level is not low, remove and empty the water reservoir, clean it, and reseat it properly.
• "Sorry, Brew Interrupted": Slowly lift the handle, remove the pod, lower the handle, and perform a rinsing brew.
• "Sorry, There is a Problem": Coffee grounds may be stuck in the entrance needle. Refer to cleaning instructions.
• "Time To Replace the Keurig® Water Filter": Replace the filter and press YES to reset the reminder.

Recycling K-Mug® and K-Carafe® Pods

K-Mug® and K-Carafe® pods' plastic cups can be recycled where #5 plastic is accepted. Check locally with your municipality or waste hauler, or visit KeurigRecycling.com for more information. #5 plastic is recyclable everywhere in Canada.

After brewing and once the pod is cool, separate the lid and filter from the cup. The filter adheres to the lid. Discard the lid and filter. Recycle the plastic cup.
