from time to time. Just clean the metal
areas with a paper towel and a non-
vinegar glass cleaner, and the plastic
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.
K-Cup® Pod Holder
To remove the K-Cup® pod holder from
the coffee maker, lift the handle and
STRONG
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 dispose of 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.
Water Reservoir
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.
Regular Maintenance
For great-tasting coffee, keep your coffee maker running
at peak performance by following the recommended
maintenance schedule:
Frequency

Keurig® Descaling Solution

*To turn off Descale notification, follow the full descaling procedure as outlined

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 Needles
Lift the coffee maker handle and
locate the entrance needles on the
underside of the lid. To clean the holes
in the needles, hold the coffee maker
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.
TIP: Refer to keurig.ca/support_1 for video instructions on cleaning
the entrance/exit needles.
