Caring for your Brewer
Regular cleaning keeps your brewer running smoothly. Always be sure to turn off and unplug your brewer before cleaning.
Brewer Exterior
Keep your Keurig® brewer looking its
best by cleaning the exterior from

soapy, lint-free, non-abrasive cloth.
Never immerse the brewer in water or
other liquids.
Drip Tray
The drip tray can hold up to 8 ounces
of overflow and should be emptied
and cleaned occasionally. To remove,
slide it toward you, keeping it level
to avoid spilling. Clean with a damp,
soapy, lint-free, non-abrasive cloth.
K-Cup® Pod Holder
To remove the K-Cup® pod holder from
the brewer, lift the handle and 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.
Funnel
The funnel 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 & Reservoir Lid
The water reservoir lid and water
reservoir should be cleaned

periodically with a damp, soapy,

non-abrasive cloth. Rinse the
reservoir thoroughly after cleaning.
This will ensure that no cleaning
solutions remain in the area as they
may contaminate the water supply.
After rinsing, fill the reservoir with
clean water and return it to the
brewer. Do not dry the inside of the
water reservoir with a cloth as lint
may remain. The water reservoir lid
and water reservoir should not be
put into the dishwasher.
NOTE: If you are using a water filter inside the water reservoir,
remove it before cleaning.
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 Needle
Lift the brewer handle and locate the entrance needle on the
underside of the lid. To clean all three holes in the needle, hold
the brewer handle in the upward position and with your other
hand, carefully insert a straightened paper clip into all three
holes. Gently move it around to loosen any coffee grounds.
Lower the handle completely and run two water-only brew
cycles. Do not insert a K-Cup® pod.
TIP: Refer to support.Keurig.com for video instructions on cleaning the entrance/exit needles.
