largest brew size. You may need to refill the Water Reservoir at least one
time during this process.
NOTE: If “DESCALE” is still indicated after completing the procedure,
repeat the descaling procedure above.
NOTE: The cleaning action of 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:
• Turnoffandunplugthebrewer.
• IfthereisKeurig
™
Descaling Solution in the Water Reservoir, discard the
contents, rinse the Water Reservoir thoroughly and refill with water.
• Plugthebrewerbackin,poweron,andrepeattheStep3FreshWater
Rinse cycle. The brewer should begin to function normally as the solution
is rinsed out and the scale is removed. If problem persists, allow brewer to
sit unplugged for at least 30 minutes before continuing with the rinse.
