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 can hold up to 8 ounces 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 & Reservoir Lid
The water reservoir lid and water reservoir should be periodically cleaned with a damp, soapy, non-abrasive cloth and rinsed thoroughly. The water reservoir lid and water reservoir should not be put into the dishwasher. Do not dry the inside of the water reservoir with a cloth, as lint may remain. If needed, repeat the above procedures.
Cleaning Entrance Needles
Lift the brewer handle and locate the top entrance needles on the underside of the lid. To clean both holes in the needles, hold the brewer handle in the upward position and with your other hand, carefully insert a straightened paper clip into the 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.

Press the release buttons on both sides of the pod holder assembly. Separate the pod holder from the housing. Clean the pod holder (1), housing (2), and base (3) with a damp, soapy, lint-free, nonabrasive cloth and rinse thoroughly. After all pieces are cleaned, reassemble the pod holder assembly by inserting the pod holder back into the housing. Place the base, then the pod holder assembly, into the brew head. Lower the handle.

Troubleshooting

Descaling Your Brewer
You should descale your brewer 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 brewer. Scale is non-toxic, but if left unattended can hinder brewer performance. Regularly descaling your brewer 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. You should promptly descale when the touch screen indicates “Time to descale the brewer!”
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. Empty the water from the water reservoir. If there is a Keurig® Water Filter, remove and set it aside.
Descaling Solution Rinse
Press and hold the power button to power the brewer off. Pour the entire bottle of Keurig® Descaling Solution into an emptied water reservoir. Then fill the empty bottle with water and pour it into the water reservoir. Press and hold the power button to turn the brewer back on. Place a large mug on the drip tray and run a cleansing brew by lifting and lowering the handle, selecting the largest brew size and pressing the brew button.
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 still on. After 30 minutes, discard any residual solution from the water reservoir and rinse thoroughly.
Fresh Water Rinse
Fill the water reservoir with Keurig K200 Series Coffee Brewer fresh water to and not beyond 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 the contents of the mug into the sink. Repeat the brewing process until you have completed at least 12 rinsing brews. You may need to refill the water reservoir at least one time during this process.
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 brewer.
- If there is Keurig® descaling solution in the water reservoir, discard the contents, rinse the water reservoir thoroughly and refill with water.
- Plug the brewer back in, power on, and repeat the Step 3 Fresh Water Rinse cycle.
- If the problem persists, allow the brewer to sit unplugged for at least 30 minutes before continuing with the rinse.
