Descaling - Keurig K-2500 Use & Care Manual

K-2500™ BREWER
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 to accumulate, can
hinder brewer performance. Calcium deposits may build up faster depending
on geographical location and water type used, making it necessary to descale
more often.
Regularly descaling your brewer helps maintain the heating element and other
internal parts that encounter water. As part of your preventative maintenance
routine, you should descale your brewer every three months, or every two
months if you are experiencing low coffee volume or slower performance.
Before you begin, you will need:
• A large ceramic mug or appropriate container for holding up to
12 oz of solution
• Fresh water
• Keurig® Descaling Solution
• Access to a sink
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
• Before beginning process, ensure that there is no K-Cup® pod in the
K-Cup® pod holder.
• You should allow approximately 75 minutes to complete the descaling
procedure.
CAUTION: Water may be hot. Allow brewer to cool down for one hour
before draining.
• If an external water filter is mounted to the back of the brewer, this will
need to be removed before beginning the descaling procedure.
The descaling procedure differs slightly between plumbed brewers and
brewers installed with the optional K-2500™ Water Reservoir Kit. Please make
sure you are following the proper steps based on which water source your
brewer uses. Watch for paragraphs beginning with the phrases For Plumbed
Brewers, For Water Reservoirs, or NOTE for... for specific instructions
pertaining to that water source.
IMPORTANT: Please read these instructions thoroughly before starting the
descaling process.

2
Draining the Brewer
Remove the access door on the
back of the brewer, then pull both
tubes down and remove plugs,
allowing water to drain into sink
or container.
NOTE for Water Reservoirs: If the
brewer has never been plumbed,
you may only see water draining
from one of the tubes.
After water is drained, replace
both plugs and place tubes back
into the brewer. Attach and close
the access door. This step may take
up to 5 minutes.
