Caring For Your Brewer

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

Brewer Exterior

Keep your Keurig® brewer looking its

best by cleaning the exterior from

time to time. Just clean with a damp,

soapy, lint-free, non-abrasive cloth.

Never immerse the brewer in water or

other liquids.

Drip Tray

The drip tray overflow should be emptied and

cleaned occasionally. To remove, lift

up off brewer base, keeping it level to avoid

spilling. Rinse and clean with a damp, soapy,

lint-free, non-abrasive cloth. Hand wash only.

STRONG

The water reservoir should be

cleaned periodically by wiping the

inside of the reservoir and underside

of the lid with a damp, non-abrasive,

lint free cloth. Do not dry the inside

of the water reservoir with a cloth as

lint may remain. Allow the reservoir

to dry completely. Hand wash only.

your beverage.

Periodically hand-wash the water reservoir and lid and drip tray with warm soapy water and rinse clean.

CAUTION: Parts are not dishwasher safe.

NOTE: Do not dry the inside of the water reservoir with a cloth as lint may remain.

K-Cup® Pod Holder

To remove the K-Cup® pod holder from

the brewer, 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.

STRONG

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 dispose of the used K-Cup® pod after brewing.

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.

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.

the entrance needle on the

underside of the lid. To clean the

holes in the needle, hold the brewer

handle in the upward position and

with your other hand, carefully insert

a straightened paper clip into all

the holes. Gently move it around to

loosen any coffee grounds. Lower

the handle completely and run a

cleansing brew two times. Do not

insert a K-Cup® pod.
