Just clean with a damp, soapy, lint-free, non-abrasive cloth. Never immerse the coffee maker in water or other liquids. Drip Tray The drip tray can hold up to 237 ml/8 oz of overflow and should be emptied and cleaned occasionally. 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 The removable water reservoir should be cleaned periodically with a damp, soapy, non-abrasive cloth. Rinse the reservoir thoroughly after cleaning. This will ensure that no cleaning solutions remain in the area as they may contaminate the water supply. Do not dry the inside of the water reservoir with a cloth as lint may remain. Allow the reservoir to dry completely. K-Cup® Pod Holder To remove the K-Cup® pod holder from STRONG the coffee maker, lift the handle and grasp the top of the K-Cup® pod holder with one hand while pushing up on the bottom of the K-Cup® pod holder from underneath with the other until it releases. After cleaning, align the K-Cup® pod holder with the opening using the two front ribs as a guide and snap into place from the top. CAUTION: There are sharp needles that puncture the K-Cup® pod above the K-Cup® pod holder and in the bottom of the K-Cup® pod holder. To avoid risk of injury, do not put your fingers in the K-Cup® pod holder. NOTE: Always remove and recycle the used K-Cup® pod after brewing. Funnel Washing the funnel ensures a fresh beverage experience. The funnel should be washed regularly and can be removed from the K-Cup® pod holder by pulling on it until it pops off. To replace it, orient the snaps to the indent and just snap it back onto the K-Cup® pod holder. Exit Needle Remove the pod holder assembly and detach the funnel. Locate the exit needle on the inside bottom of the K-Cup® pod holder. Insert a straightened paper clip into the exit needle to loosen any coffee grounds. Entrance Needle Lift the coffee maker handle and locate the entrance needle on the underside of the lid. To clean both holes in the needle, hold the coffee maker handle in the upward position and with your other hand, carefully insert a straightened paper clip into both holes. Gently move it around to loosen any coffee grounds. Lower the handle completely and run two water-only brew cycles. Do not insert a K-Cup® pod. TIP: Refer to keurig.ca for video instructions on cleaning the entrance/exit needles. Descaling your Coffee Maker You should descale your coffee maker every 3-6 months. Properly follow the descaling procedure. Depending on the mineral content of your water, calcium deposits or scale may build up in your coffee maker. Scale is non-toxic but if left unattended can hinder coffee maker performance. Regularly descaling your coffee maker every 3-6 months helps maintain the heating element, and other internal parts that come in contact with water. Calcium deposits may build up faster, making it necessary to descale more often. Descaling Procedure Before you begin, you will need a large ceramic mug, fresh water, Keurig® Descaling Solution, and access to a sink. Do not use a paper cup. Ensure that there is no beverage pod in the K-Cup® pod holder. Please allow approximately 45 minutes for the descaling procedure. STEP 1: Cleansing Rinse Turn on your coffee maker. Pour one third (136 ml/4.6 oz) of the Keurig® Descaling Solution into the water reservoir then add fresh water to the 296 ml/10 oz fill level. Place a large ceramic mug on the drip tray plate. Lift and lower the handle but do not add a K-Cup® pod. Press the brew button. Once solution is dispensed, pour the contents into the sink. Troubleshooting Grounds in Your Coffee Grounds may have gathered in the exit or entrance needles and can be cleaned using a straightened paper clip or similar tool. · Clean the exit needle of the K-Cup® pod holder. Refer to the Exit Needle care instructions. · Clean the coffee maker entrance needle. Refer to the Entrance Needle care instructions. Coffee Maker Will Not Brew · A minimum of 177 ml/6 oz of water is required to brew. Add an additional 59 ml/2 oz of water to the reservoir to ensure the minimum fill level has been met, then press the brew button. Repeat until the coffee maker begins to dispense. Brewing a Partial Cup · Press the power button. Press and hold the brew button for 5 seconds until all of the water has been dispensed. Discard the contents into the sink. Press the power button to restart. · The exit needle may be clogged. Refer to the Exit Needle care instructions. · Clean the K-Cup® Pod Holder, see K-Cup® Pod Holder care instructions. · The coffee maker may need to be descaled. If you have repeated the descale procedure on your coffee maker two times and it is still only brewing a partial cup, contact Customer Service. STEP 2: Internal Tank Soak Repeat step 1, but when the brew indicator light turns solid, press the power button as the coffee maker starts to dispense. Let the coffee maker stand for at least 30 minutes. Press and hold the brew button until the solution begins to dispense. Continue to hold the button until all of the solution has been dispensed. Pour the contents of the mug into the sink. STEP 3: Fresh Water Rinse Repeat step 1 using 355 ml/12 oz of fresh water only. Do not add Keurig® Descaling Solution. Repeat this step two additional times. You may need to perform additional fresh water rinse cycles if you notice any residual taste. NOTE: The cleaning action of Keurig® Descaling Solution may result in a "foam" dispensed from the coffee maker. This is natural, as the solution is reacting with the scale inside. For a coffee maker that is heavily scaled, the coffee maker may not fill properly after the descaler is added. If this occurs, you may see only a small or no output dispensed, followed by the sound of air blowing out. If this occurs: · Turn off and unplug the coffee maker. · If there is Keurig® Descaling Solution in the water reservoir, discard the contents, rinse the water reservoir thoroughly and refill with water. · Plug the coffee maker back in, power on, and repeat the Step 3 Fresh Water Rinse cycle. The coffee maker should begin to function normally as the solution is rinsed out and the scale is removed. If problem persists, allow coffee maker to sit unplugged for at least 30 minutes before continuing with the rinse. Coffee Maker Does Not Have Power or Shuts Off · Make sure that the power button has been turned on. · Plug coffee maker into its own grounded outlet. If the electric circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your coffee maker may not function properly. The coffee maker should be operated on its own circuit, separate from other appliances. · For energy savings, the coffee maker automatically turns off 90 seconds after the last brew. Press the power button to restart. · If the coffee maker still doesn't have power, contact Customer Service. Helpful Hints Water quality varies greatly. If you notice an undesirable taste in your beverage (such as chlorine or mineral tastes), we recommend using bottled or filtered water. Do not use distilled water.
