So, the time has reached to unpack your Keurig box. Be careful while unpacking to avoid harm to any part. Let’s get started!
Note: keep away all the plastic wraps from your children.
To make a perfect cup of coffee, you must be familiar with all parts of your coffee machine and their functions. So, let’s get started!
It is present above the water reservoir, and it serves as a guardian to protect water from being dirty and splashing out while brewing. Thus, it offers a seamless brewing experience.
There is a mark named “Max Fill line” on the water reservoir up to which you have to fill the water before brewing.
Here is the storage tank in which you will pour water for brewing, cleaning, and descaling purposes. It has a capacity of 1.5L to store water.
These slots are located on your brewer’s body and are used to connect the water reservoir securely.
It is the wire attached to the brewer. This wire is used to plug in the power outlet and transfer the electricity to the brewer.
The handle is present at the top of your coffee machine. It is used to open the lid of the K-Cup pod holder. Lift the handle, and the pod holder lid will get open toward you.
This lid is present on the top of your brewer and covers the pod holder brewing assembly.
It is the space where you can insert the K-Cup portion pack to get brewed.
It is attached to the pod holder at the bottom. It is a v-shaped part that channelizes the brewed coffee toward the coffee spout.
The pod holder and the funnel are collectively called the K-Cup pod holder assembly. The space where these two parts are occupied is called K-Cup Pod assembly housing. It is present at the top front of the brewer under the lid.
It is like a perforated plate located on the drip tray. It has two purposes; placing the cup on it and catching the coffee/water spills while dispensing. The drip tray plate is detachable.
Below the drip tray plate, there presents a drip tray (detachable) that collects the caught water/coffee spills. It has the capacity to hold 8 oz of liquid; thus, you have to empty it periodically.
It is present at the bottom of your brewer. It supports the drip tray and is also used to accommodate tall mugs. Thus, if you want to dispense coffee in a travel mug, then remove the drip tray and place it on the drip tray base.
Ready to use your Keurig-K Select? But before making your first cup of coffee or after using it after a long inactive time, first prime the water pump. Don’t know how to do it? Don’t worry! Let’s dig deep into the process!
Remove the tap from the brewer if any are left. Plug your brewer into an independent grounded power outlet. Now, place a large mug (at least 10 oz) on the drip tray plate.
To detach the water reservoir, first, detach the water reservoir lid, then lift the water reservoir straight up and towards you. Insert the Keurig water filter now (if you have it). For the installation instructions, refer to the Water filter starter kit.
Wash the water reservoir and lid with fresh water. Now, fill the water reservoir with fresh potable water up to the Max Fill line. Place the water reservoir on the brewer’s base and make sure lock tab slots are securely engaged with it. Now, replace the lid on the water reservoir.
Note: Using distilled water in your Keurig-K Select is not recommended.
Now, it’s time to switch on your Keurig-K Select. To do this, push the power button, and the power button light (green) and the Auto-off light (green) will turn on also. Your brewer will start heating the water, and it will take approximately three minutes. Your brewer will be ready when the sound of heating the water stops.
It’s time to cleanse your coffee maker (with only water). So, raise and lower the handle; in response, four brew buttons and Strong button LEDs will start blinking.
Note: Don’t use K-Cup pods while cleansing.
To start the cleansing brew, push the “Small cup button”. Once the hot water is dispensed into the mug, dump it into the sink.
Priming is done, and now you can brew a delicious cup of coffee for you.
You have completed a long journey, and now it’s time to get benefits. What kind of benefit; a delicious hot cup of coffee! Let’s do it and relax your nerves!
Pick your favorite mug and place it on the drip tray plate. However, if you want to dispense coffee in a travel mug, then remove the drip tray plate and place your mug on the drip tray base.
Note: Keurig-K Select will take approximately 60 seconds between two brew cycles to heat water.
Now, it’s time to insert your favorite K-Cup pod in the pod holder. So, raise the lever to open the lid and place your K-Cup in the pod holder. Now, lower the lever to close the lid completely.
Note: You should not remove the foil lid present on the K-Cup pod.
Select the brew size you want, but if you want a strong coffee, then push the “Strong button” first. Once you select the brew size, the selected brew size and Strong button (if selected) will light up and remain illuminated during brewing (it will take 1 minute).
Note: After 1 minute of idleness, your coffee maker will become inactive. To reactivate your brewer, lift and lower the lever completely.
Note: Do not open the lid while brewing, as the K-Cup pod holder contains extremely hot water.
To maintain the performance of your Keurig-K Select, you should clean it periodically. Cleaning all the parts of your coffee maker ensures the optimal performance and taste of coffee for a long time. So, let’s get started!
Regularly cleaning the outside will keep your Keurig brewer looking its best. Simply use a non-abrasive, lint-free, moist, soapy cloth to clean.
Never submerge the brewer in liquids, including water.
Both the water reservoir cover and the reservoir itself need to be cleaned on occasion. Use the top rack of the dishwasher to clean or wash by hand. Use a non-abrasive, wet, soapy towel to wash your hands. After cleaning, carefully rinse the reservoir. This will make sure that no cleaning agents are left behind, which might contaminate the water supply.
Fill the reservoir with fresh water after rinsing, then deliver it back to the brewer. Avoid using a cloth to dry the interior of the water reservoir since lint may be left behind. Repeat the previous steps if necessary.
Note: Remove the water filter before cleaning.
The drip tray needs to be periodically cleaned and emptied since it may store up to 8 ounces of liquid. To remove it, slide it away from you while keeping it level to prevent spills. You may either rinse and clean with a moist, soapy, lint-free, non-abrasive cloth or clean in the dishwasher (top rack only).
Lift the handle, grip the top of the K-Cup® pod holder with one hand, and press up on the bottom of the K-Cup® pod holder from beneath with the other hand until it releases from the brewer. After cleaning, use the two front ribs as a guide to line up the K-Cup® pod holder with the opening, and then snap it into place from the top.
Note: Both the top of the K-Cup® pod holder and the bottom of the K-Cup® pod holder include sharp needles that puncture the K-Cup® pod. Do not insert your fingers into the K-Cup® pod holder to reduce the risk of harm.
Pulling on the funnel until it pops off the K-Cup® pod holder will allow you to remove it. Simply clip it back into the K-Cup® pod holder to replace it.
Pull out the pod holder assembly and separate the funnel. Find the exit needle underneath the K-Cup pod holder. Place a straightened piece of a paper pin into the exit needle to loosen the clog and push it out.
The entrance needle is located on the bottom of the lid if you lift the brewer handle. Holding the brewer handle in the upright position, gently slide a straightened paper clip into each of the needle’s two holes with your other hand and gently move it around to remove any coffee grounds. Completely lower the handle and do two water-only brew cycles.
Note: Don’t use the K-Cup pod during the cleansing cycle.
Pamper your coffee machine to get the most out of it. Scale or calcium deposits may accumulate in your brewer depending on the mineral composition of your water. Although the scale is non-toxic, it can impair the brewer’s performance if ignored.
The heating element and other internal components that come into contact with water are maintained with regular descaling of your brewer every 3 to 6 months. Calcium deposits could form more quickly, necessitating more frequent descaling. Let’s do descaling!
To perform descaling, you required the following things;
Note: Avoid using paper cups.
Note: The descaling process will take 45 minutes.
Let’s get started!
Note: Don’t insert a K-Cup pod during descaling.
Repeat the process of rinsing continuously until the “Add water light” is illuminated. Do not use a K-cup pod. Once the light is turned on, stop the rinsing and let the brewer stand for 30 minutes (while it is on). After 30 minutes, discard any residual descaling solution from the water reservoir and rinse it thoroughly with fresh water.
Note: Do not use a K-cup pod while water rinsing brew.
Note: You may need to refill the water reservoir once during these water rinsing brew cycles.
Keurig Descaling Solution’s cleaning operation might cause a “foam” to be discharged from the brewer. This is expected since the scale inside the solution is reacting. After the descaler is introduced, a brewer that has been highly scaled could not fill correctly. If this happens, you could observe little to no output discharged and hear air blowing out thereafter. If this happens:
Even the best-manufactured machines can encounter problems. However, fear not, as troubleshooting common problems and finding their solutions can help you revive the coffee-making process again. Let’s get started and savor each sip with triumph and delight!
If the coffee grounds are appearing in your coffee maker, then the Exit or Entrance needle may have been clogged. However, you can clear the clogs using a paper clip or a similar tool.
Make sure that the handle is pressed down properly and the brew buttons are blinking after placing the K-cup pod in the k-cup pod holder.
If the ‘Add water light’ is illuminated, then fill the water reservoir to the MAX FILL line, not beyond with fresh water. Make sure that the water reservoir is properly settled on its base.
Note: if the ‘Add water light’ is continuously flashing after refilling the reservoir, then contact customer service.
There can be several reasons behind your Keurig brewing a partial cup of coffee;
There is a huge range in water quality. We advise using bottled or filtered water if you detect an unfavorable flavor in your beverage (such as chlorine or mineral flavors). Use non-distilled water instead. To assist in purifying water and enhancing beverage flavor, you may also add a Keurig Water Filter.
Beyond these suggested cleaning and upkeep methods, this brewer cannot be serviced by the user. Please refer to this guide’s Warranty section for information on service.
Before storing or moving, empty the water reservoir, and make sure your brewer is in a secure location free from frost. In order to prevent water leaks from the inner tank, please store your brewer upright. You face the danger of the water within the brewer freezing, which might lead to damage if you keep the brewer in a cold climate. In order to get it ready for use after storage, we advise running three rinse brews without a K-Cup® pod in the water reservoir.
Turn off your brewer, unhook it from the wall, and empty the water reservoir before moving it to a new place. Please be careful to bring your brewer to room temperature for at least two hours before using it if it has been exposed to temperatures below freezing.
