fig.
• If asked "WAS THE BREWER DRAINED,"
select "YES." If this prompt does not appear
then the brewer will automatically start
priming and heating. Use a Flojet pump
system as shown in figure 20 to add the
Keurig ™ Descaling Solution to the brewer.
Complete the "PRIMING" process.
• After the brewer has primed and heated,
place a ceramic mug on the Drip Tray and
run a brew cycle. DO NOT USE A K-CUP
just press the 10 oz. Brew Button.
PACK,
When the brew process is complete discard
the contents from the mug into the sink.
• Now let the brewer stand for at least
one hour.
• Repeat the brew process without a K-Cup pack at least 10 times, pouring
®
the contents of the mug into the sink after each cycle. Remember to
completely lift and lower the brewer Handle between each cycle so the
Brewer Interface Buttons indicating the brew size will flash.
• Power off the brewer and drain both hot and cold water tanks.
• Reconnect the brewer to the filtered cold water supply and follow
the "PRIMING" procedure to refill the brewer.
• Once the "PRIMING" process is complete, power off the brewer and
drain both hot and cold water tanks again.
• Power up the brewer and follow the "PRIMING" procedure again,
perform several (10) cleansing brews to remove any residual
taste from the the Keurig ™ Descaling Solution.
NOTE: The cleaning action of the Keurig Descaling Solution may result in a
™
foam dispensed from the brewer. This is natural, as the solution is reacting
with the scale inside. For a brewer that is heavily scaled, the brewer may
not fill properly after the descaler is added. 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.
• Plug the brewer back in, power on, and repeat Step 2 Fill and Clean.The
brewer should begin to function normally as the solution is rinsed out and
the scale is removed. If problem persists, allow the brewer to sit unplugged
®
for at least 30 minutes before continuing with the rinse.
For further descale information please contact your Keurig Authorized Distributor.

Draining Your Brewer
If you wish to drain the brewer, the following steps should be followed:
1. Power off the brewer and unplug Power Cord.
Turn the brewer around (shut off water and disconnect power supply if
2.
necessary) so the back is facing you.
3. Unclip the drain hoses from their holders and lower them. Move the
brewer close to the edge of the counter so that the drain hoses overhang.
4. Place a container under the hoses and remove the Drain Plugs.
CAUTION: The water may be very hot.
NOTE: The process to completely drain the brewer takes approximately
3 minutes.
When the flow of water stops replace both Drain Plugs and clip the drain
5.
hoses back into place.
6. When you power up the brewer again it will display "WAS THE BREWER
DRAINED?"
NOTE: Answer "YES" to the question and the brewer will
start "PRIMING."
Storage
Drain the hot water tank before storing and ensure that you store your brewer
in a safe and frost free environment. It is suggested to store your brewer in the
upright position. 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 running three cleansing brews without a
K-Cup ® pack. If you plan to move your brewer to a different location, turn the
brewer off, unplug it and empty both the hot water and cold water tanks. If your
brewer has been in an environment below freezing, please be sure to let it
warm to room temperature for two hours before using.
