* A cleansing brew refers to running a hot water cycle with no K-Cup® pods. Run a cleansing
brew immediately after using a pod with hot cocoa or milk ingredients. If the brewer is not
used daily, run a cleansing brew before brewing with a K-Cup® pod.
** Descaling can be conducted before and after an extended time of storage to maximize the
cleaning effectiveness.
Helpful Hints
Water quality varies greatly. If you notice an undesirable taste in your
beverage (such as chlorine or mineral tastes), we recommend using bottled
or filtered water. Do not use distilled water. You can also install a Keurig®
Water Filter to help remove water impurities and improve beverage taste.

Storage
Empty the internal water tank before storing or transporting, and take
care to store your brewer in a safe and frost-free environment. Please be
sure to store your brewer in its upright position to avoid water leakage
from the internal water tank. 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 the brewer after storage, we recommend rinsing
the internal water tank with fresh water and running three cleansing
brews without a K-Cup® pod. Also available for purchase is the Keurig
K-Cup® Pod Deep Cleaning Kit. Please contact your Keurig Authorized
Distributor (KAD) for more information.
If you plan to move your brewer to a different location, turn the brewer off,
unplug it, and empty the internal water tank (IMAGE A).
CAUTION: Water may be hot. Allow brewer to cool down for one hour before
draining.
If your brewer has been in an environment below freezing, please be sure
to let it warm to room temperature for at least 2 hours before using.
Changing the Water Source
If you or a service technician are transitioning the brewer from a plumbed
water source to reservoir, the internal water tanks will need to be fully
drained (IMAGE A) before connecting the reservoir dock.
IMPORTANT: If transitioning from a reservoir to a plumbed water source,
the flathead screw must be replaced after the dock is removed. Do not
overtighten the screw (IMAGE B).
