CARING FOR YOUR BREWER
CARING FOR YOUR BREWER
TIME TO DESCALE THE BREWER
Depending on the mineral content of your water, calcium deposits or scale may build
up in your brewer, this is why we recommend using bottled or filtered water. Scale is non-
toxic but if left unattended can hinder brewer performance. Regularly descaling your brewer
every three to six months helps maintain the heating element, and other internal parts that
come in contact with water. Calcium deposits may build up faster, making it necessary to
descale more often.
You should promptly descale when the Touch Display indicates "Time to descale the brewer!"
However, even if this is not indicated, you should continue to descale your brewer every three
to six months.

the Handle, selecting a 10 ounce Brew Size and pressing the Brew Button. The brewer
will stop dispensing after 10 ounces. Do not use a Keurig brand pod. Pour the contents
of the mug into the sink.
STEP 2: SECOND DESCALING SOLUTION RINSE
• Repeat the cleansing brew process until the Touch Display indicates "More Water Please."
Let the brewer stand for at least 30 minutes while still on.
• After 30 minutes, discard any residual solution and rinse the Water Reservoir thoroughly.
STEP 3: FRESH WATER RINSE
• Ensure the Water Reservoir is filled with fresh water to and not beyond the MAX FILL line.
• Place a large mug on the Drip Tray and run a cleansing brew. Pour the contents of the mug
into the sink.
• Repeat the cleansing brew process at least 12 times. You may need to refill the Water
Reservoir at least one time during this process.
NOTE: If "Time to descale the brewer!" is still indicated after completing the procedure, repeat the descaling procedure above.

Got the Keurig 2.0 second hand and want to use ground coffee in filter rather than Kcups. How do I do that? A filter did not come with this machine. I do have one from an earlier model will that work? If so, how do I change them out?
To use ground coffee with the Keurig 2.0 K500, you need a reusable K-Cup filter that is compatible with the 2.0 system. The machine requires a special type of K-Cup with a readable ring to avoid an error message. Filters from earlier models may not work unless modified, as older filters lack the identification ring required by the 2.0 system. You may be able to bypass the sensor by modifying the machine or the filter, but this is not recommended for typical users.
