Draining & Storing Your Keurig Brewer
You can drain the water from your Keurig Brewer if you
are going to move it, store it or not use it for more than
a week.
To drain your Keurig Brewer, please follow these
instructions:
a. Turn power "OFF" and unplug the Brewer.
CAUTION: Water is hot, please allow it to cool
before draining.
b. Carry Brewer to the sink making sure that it stays
upright.
c. Remove the Drain Cap on rear of Brewer
and, if present, remove Charcoal Filter from
the Water Fill Area.
d. Rest the rear of the Brewer flat on the
counter with the drain positioned over the
sink and allow Brewer to drain. For best
results, do not tilt beyond a 90° angle.
e. Once water is drained, replace the Drain Cap and,
if used, the Charcoal Filter. Your Brewer is now ready
to be moved, stored or refilled.

De-scaling Your Keurig Brewer

Mineral content in water varies from place to place. Depending on the mineral content of the
water in your area, scale may build up on your Brewer. Scale is non-toxic, but left unattended,
it can hinder optimal Brewer performance. De-scaling your Brewer regularly helps maintain the
heating element, water tank and other parts of the Brewer that come in contact with water.
Better water quality and water heating means a better cup of coffee. We recommend
de-scaling your Brewer at least every 6 months (every three months if your water has high
mineral content).
You will need to de-scale your Brewer if you get a flashing yellow light behind the water fill
tube. The Brewer will not work properly if the yellow light is flashing.
