K-Cup® Pod Holder Assembly and Needles
The K-Cup® Pod Holder Assembly (PHA) should be removed
from the Puncture Mechanism (PM) for cleaning. To remove the
PHA, remove the half rim, then squeeze the two snap tips on
the rear of its flip seat to release.
The PHA can be cleaned by submerging it in Keurig® Descaling
solution, or a vinegar solution (1:3), for 12 hours or more. There
may be residual coffee grounds in the groove and the flip seat.
If required, take a cotton swab to clean the area. Thoroughly
rinse the PHA before restoring it into the flip seat, then to the
half rim to lock in place.
There are two sharp needles in the PM that puncture the
K-Cup® pod. The Entrance Needle is located underneath the lid
of the handle, and the Exit Needle is inside the PHA. These
needles may get clogged over time due to the build up of scale
or residual pod ingredients.
Caring for your Brewer (continued)
If clogging occurs, both needles can be cleared by inserting
a straightened paper clip into the hole. Gently move it
around to loosen any coffee grounds, then follow with a
rinse brew with water.
CAUTION: To avoid risk of injury, please be careful of the two sharp needles when
cleaning the PHA and PM.
