How To Clean Your Keurig B-70?

It’s time to pamper your Keurig B-70. Cleaning your Brewer regularly or once a week is necessary for better performance. Regular cleaning protects your brewer parts from dirt, sticky residue, and other depositions. Let’s get started!

Cleaning Of External Parts

You should clean your brewer’s external components periodically. How? You can get help from the instructions below: 

1. Do not immerse the brewer in water or other liquids. The Housing and other external components can get cleaned with a soapy, damp, non-abrasive cloth that can clean easily.

2. The Drip Tray can easily store up to 12 ounces of overflow. It would be awesome if you periodically rinsed the Drip Tray and Drip Tray Plate to avoid mess after inspection.

3. You can remove the Drip Tray Assembly easily. For this, slide it towards you, keeping it level to escape the spill. Never keep and wash the Drip Tray and Drip Tray Plate under the dishwasher. You may thoroughly rinse and clean them with a damp, soapy, non-abrasive cloth.

Cleaning The K-Cup® Holder Assembly

I recommend now and then cleaning the K-Cup assembly for better brewing. Once your brewer is clean, you will be satisfied and can have a fresh brew.  Kindly follow the given steps below: 

Cleaning The Parts:

1. Keep the K-Cup® Holder Assembly on the top shelf of a dishwasher.

NOTE: Always use low-temperature cycles in the dishwasher. 

You can remove the K-Cup® Holder Assembly from the brewer. Open the cover first by lifting the handle. Afterward, open the lid by picking the Handle. Use one hand to grasp the top of the K-Cup® Holder. Use a second hand to push up from the bottom of the K-Cup® Holder until it liberates (take help from Fig.18). 

After cleaning:

1. Align the K-Cup® Holder. 

2. Open it using the two front ribs as a guide. 

3. Snap it back into place from the top.

2. Cleaning The Funnel

You may detach the funnel from the K-Cup® Holder by pulling it out until it pops off (fig. 19). It is dishwasher safe (withstand high pressure and heat). After cleaning, replace it by snapping it back onto the K-Cup® Holder Assembly.

3. Cleaning The Exit Needle

The inner bottom of the K-Cup® Holder Assembly holds the Exit Needle. A clog can arise due to coffee grinds. While using a paper clip or similar tool, you can remove it. Unfasten the K-Cup® Holder assembly to detach the Funnel. Insert the paper clip into the Needle (take help from Fig.19). It will lose the clog. The K-Cup® Holder is dishwasher safe too.

CAUTION: The K-Cup® Holder keeps two sharp needles above and the bottom. They can puncture the K-Cup®. To avoid any harm or injury, stay safe from the K-Cup® Assembly Housing.

Cleaning Of Water Reservoir & Water Reservoir Lid 

The Water Reservoir and Water Reservoir Lid of your Keurig B-70 brewer need periodic outside and inside inspection and cleaning because they are in constant contact with water. Follow the steps given to make them efficient for the long term:

1. Ensure not to put the Water Reservoir Lid or Water Reservoir into the sink. It would be best to clean with a soapy, damp, and non-abrasive cloth. Be careful and do not dry the inner side of the Water Reservoir with a cloth, as lint may remain inside.

2. Empty the Water Reservoir, which is present at the base, to mop the filter screen.

NOTE: If you are operating a water filter inside the Water Reservoir, it is better to remove it before cleaning.

3. Rinse the filter screen with the vital force of water from your faucet.

4. Use the sprayer. Unless it gets clean, you may aim the water spray at the filter screen.

Vacant the Water Reservoir, fill it with clean water, and return it to the brewer. If essential, repeat the procedures mentioned above and techniques.

CAUTION: Must rinse the Water Reservoir thoroughly after cleaning. 

Make sure that no cleaners or cleaning solutions remain inside. Because they may contaminate the brewer during the water supply, it can be risky for one’s health.

How To Descale Your Keurig B-70 Brewer Timely?

Water in different locations has different mineral contents. Scale or calcium deposits may accumulate in your Brewer, depending on the mineral concentration of the water in your area. Although the scale is not toxic, if it does not fix a time, it can malfunction the performance of your brewer. Proper Descaling maintains your brewer’s heating element and other internal components that come into contact with water.

To guarantee optimum performance, verify your Brewer every three to six months. Calcium deposits can form more quickly, necessitating more frequent de-scaling.

If the LCD Control Center displays “DE-SCALE,” you should immediately descale (fig. 20). You should still descale your brewer every 3-6 months even if the word “DE-SCALE” is not visible. Follow the de-scaling method mentioned below:
