Keurig k supreme descale instructions
When the DESCALE notification turns on, or every 3 months. Allow 15 to 20 minutes.
Steps
- Pour the entire bottle of Keurig Descaling Solution into the empty water reservoir, fill the empty bottle with water and pour that into the reservoir.
- Make sure no K-Cup pod is in the pod holder, and place a large ceramic mug on the drip tray. Do not use a paper cup.
- With the coffee maker plugged in and powered off, press and hold the 8oz and 12oz buttons together for 3 seconds to activate Descale Mode.
- Press the BREW button when it is flashing to start descaling.
- When the brew is complete, pour the hot liquid into the sink. Repeat this step until the ADD WATER light illuminates.
- Empty the water reservoir and refill it to the MAX fill line with fresh water.
- Press the BREW button when it is flashing to start the rinse, and pour the hot liquid into the sink when the brew is complete.
- Repeat the rinse until the DESCALE notification turns off. The coffee maker has then exited Descale Mode.
The descaling solution can make the coffee maker dispense foam. If a heavily scaled coffee maker dispenses little or no liquid and you hear air blowing out, turn off and unplug it, empty the reservoir if it still holds descaling solution, rinse the reservoir and refill it with water, plug the coffee maker back in, power it on and repeat the fresh water rinse. If the problem persists, let the coffee maker sit unplugged for at least 30 minutes before continuing the rinse.
