Add Water - Keurig K-Supreme Plus Smart Use & Care Manual

K-Cup® Pod Holder
To remove the K-Cup® pod holder from
the coffee maker, lift the handle and
STRONG 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 recycle the used K-Cup® pod after brewing. K-Cup® pods
are recyclable in select locations; they may not not be recyclable in your area.
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.
Descaling Your Coffee Maker
You should descale your coffee maker every 3 months or when the
descale notification turns on. Properly follow the descaling procedure
in order to turn off the notification.
Depending on the mineral content of your water, calcium deposits
or scale may build up in your coffee maker. Scale is non-toxic but if
left unattended can hinder coffee maker performance. Regularly
descaling your coffee maker every 3 months helps maintain the
heating element and other internal parts that come in contact with
water. Calcium deposits may build up faster, making it necessary to
descale more often.
Descaling Procedure
Before you begin, you will need a large ceramic mug, fresh water,
Keurig® Descaling Solution, and access to a sink. Do not use a
paper cup. Ensure that there is no beverage pod in the K-Cup® pod
holder. Please allow approximately 15-20 minutes for the descaling
procedure.
STEP 1: Prepare the Coffee Maker
When the Descale notification appears on the screen, press the left
arrow, then choose CONTINUE. Next follow the prompts on the
screen to complete the descale process. If you would like to descale
your coffee maker but don't see the descale notification on the
display, press both arrows at the same time to open Settings, then
select Descale Mode.
Note: Make sure to remove the water filter from the water reservoir if applicable.
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.
STEP 2: Descale the Coffee Maker
Empty the water reservoir and pour the entire bottle of Keurig®
Descaling Solution to the water reservoir. Fill the empty bottle with
water and pour into the water reservoir. Do not insert a K-Cup® pod.
Place a large mug on the drip tray.
Press the flashing BREW button to dispense 355 ml/12 oz of hot
water. Discard the hot water and replace mug on the drip tray.
Repeat until the water reservoir is empty and the screen says

ADD WATER.

STEP 3: Fresh Water Rinse
Rinse the water reservoir and refill it to the max fill line with fresh
water. Make sure the mug is on the drip tray. When the BREW button
flashes press to begin fresh water rinse. Once the brew is complete,
pour the hot liquid into the sink. Repeat this step until the screen says
DESCALE COMPLETE. Now the coffee maker is ready for use.
NOTE: The cleaning action of Keurig® Descaling Solution may result in a "foam" dispensed from the coffee
maker. This is natural, as the solution is reacting with the scale inside. For a coffee maker that is heavily
scaled, the coffee maker 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 coffee maker.
• If there is Keurig® Descaling Solution in the water reservoir, discard the contents, rinse the water reservoir
thoroughly and refill with water.
• Plug the coffee maker back in, power on, and repeat the Step 3 Fresh Water Rinse cycle. The coffee
maker should begin to function normally as the solution is rinsed out and the scale is removed. If the
problem persists, allow the coffee maker to sit unplugged for at least 30 minutes before continuing
with the rinse.
