Storage - Keurig B50 Use & Care Manual

The Brewer should be de-scaled every 6
months to ensure optimal performance. It is
possible for calcium deposits to build up faster,
making it necessary to de-scale more often.

DE-SCALE
MENU
This Brewer is equipped with sensors to detect
when scale buildup is interfering with the
performance of the Brewer. When this is
detected, the De-Scale indicator will illuminate
on the LCD Message Center.
You should de-scale if this indicator is lit on
the LCD Message Center. Properly follow the
de-scaling procedure described below.
NOTE: The Brewer will continue to function
even when the De-scale indicator is lit.
However, if you do not de-scale soon
after the indicator is lit, continued scale
build up could damage the Brewer. If this
occurs, the De-Scale indicator will begin
to blink to alert you to the potential damage to
the Brewer if you do not de-scale immediately.
De-Scaling
a. PREPARE
Step 1: Make sure you have at least 48
ounces of undiluted white vinegar on hand.
You will also need an empty sink and a
ceramic cup (do not use a paper cup.)
Step 2: Make sure you have a ceramic cup
(do not use a paper cup.)
Step 3: Empty the water in the Water Reservoir.

Step 2: Place a ceramic cup in the Drip Tray
and run a brew cycle. DO NOT USE A

Button. Pour the contents of the cup
into the sink.
Step 3: Repeat the brew process until the
Water Reservoir is empty, pouring the
contents of the cup into the sink after each
cycle. Remember to open and close the lid
between each cycle.
Step 4: Rinse the Water Reservoir
thoroughly and fill with fresh water.
Step 5: Now let the Brewer stand for
4 hours while still on.
c. RINSE
Step 1: Ensure the Water Reservoir is filled
with fresh water.
Step 2: Place a ceramic cup on the Drip Tray
and run a regular brew cycle. Pour the
contents of the cup into the sink.
Step 3: Repeat brew process until the Water
Reservoir is empty.
Step 4: You may need to perform additional
rinse cycles if you notice any residual taste.
NOTE: If the De-scale indicator on the
LCD Message Center remains on after
completing the procedure, repeat the
de-scaling procedure above.

Storage

Empty the Water Reservoir before storing and
take care to ensure that you store your Brewer
in a safe and frost free environment. If you store
the Brewer in a cold environment, you run the
risk of water freezing inside the Brewer and
causing damage. When you prepare to use it
after storage, we recommend rinsing the Water
Reservoir with fresh water and running three
cleansing brews.
If you plan to move your Brewer to a different
location, turn the Brewer off, unplug it and
empty the Water Reservoir.
