Priming Your Keurig Brewer for First Use: Essential Precautions 

Vital: Priming is essential before using your Keurig B-40 Brewer for the first time, as explained below.

Caution: If your Brewer was exposed to freezing temperatures, wait at least two hours for it to reach room temperature before priming. A frozen or extremely cold Brewer will not prime correctly and may lead to potential damage.

Priming Your Keurig B-40 Brewer for Optimal Brewing – Step-by-Step Guide

1. Connect and Prepare

Unwrap the power cord and plug the Brewer into a grounded outlet. Place a cup or mug on the Drip Tray Plate to collect brewed beverages.

2. Prepare the Water Reservoir

Remove the Water Reservoir from the Brewer by first taking off the Lid and then lifting the Reservoir straight up and away from the Brewer (it may require some effort). Rinse the Reservoir with fresh water to ensure cleanliness.

3. Fill the Water Reservoir

Fill the Water Reservoir with fresh water, making sure the water level reaches just below the top edge of the clear viewing area. Be cautious not to overfill the Reservoir.

4. Position the Water Reservoir

Place the Water Reservoir base into the left side of the Brewer, ensuring that the Water Reservoir Lock Tabs engage securely with the Brewer. Replace the Lid on the Water Reservoir.

5. Activate the Brewer

Locate the Power Button on the upper right panel of the Brewer, and press it. The green light next to the Power Button will illuminate, indicating that the Brewer is powered on and ready for priming.

6. Priming Indication

The red light next to ‘DE-SCALE’ on the LED Control Center will flash, signaling the need to prime the Brewer. Before proceeding, ensure that the handle is fully down, and do not use a K-Cup for the Priming Sequence.

7. Initiate Priming

Press the Brew Button located below the flashing green light on the LED Control Center. The Brewer will automatically fill with water, initiating the priming process. The water will then be heated, which takes approximately 3 minutes. During the heating period, the red light next to ‘HEATING’ on the LED Control Center will become illuminated. Once the water is heated, the red light will turn off, and the green light above the Brew Button will flash.

8. Cleansing Brew: To complete the priming process, press the Brew Button again below the flashing green light. This will start a cleansing brew, during which hot water will flow into your cup or mug. Pour this hot water into the sink.

Important Reminder: For brewing readiness, make sure the Water Reservoir is filled and correctly positioned on the Brewer. If the Reservoir is empty or not in place, the blue light next to ‘ADD WATER’ on the LED Control Center will be lit, and the Brew Button will remain inactive until water is added.

9. Brewer Reheating: The Brewer may take 15 seconds to reheat water between brews. During this time, the red light next to ‘HEATING’ on the LED Control Center may be illuminated. When the water is reheated, the red light will turn off, indicating readiness for brewing.

Normal Occurrence: During the heating process and subsequent cycles, you may observe minor water seepage from the Vent, leading to dripping into the Water Reservoir. Rest assured, this is a standard behavior and does not indicate any malfunction.

10. Priming Completion: With the successful completion of the one-time priming process, your Keurig B-40 Brewer is now primed and ready to brew your favorite beverages. Enjoy your Keurig experience!

Avoid overloading the electric circuit with other appliances.

4. To brew into a travel mug, remove the Drip Tray Assembly and place the mug on the Drip Tray Base.

Proper Cleaning of Water Reservoir and Lid

As a Keurig B-40 expert, ensure the Water Reservoir Lid is cleaned with a damp, non-abrasive cloth using soapy water. However, the Lid should not be placed in the dishwasher. For the Water Reservoir, it can be either cleaned in the dishwasher or washed with soapy water and thoroughly rinsed. Avoid drying the inside with a cloth to prevent lint buildup.

Safety Reminder: Thoroughly Rinse Water Reservoir After Cleaning

As a precaution, make sure to thoroughly rinse the Water Reservoir after cleaning to eliminate any residue of cleaners or cleaning solutions. This step is crucial to avoid potential contamination of the water supply in the Brewer.

Maintaining Optimal Performance: De-Scaling Your Brewer

As a Keurig B-40 expert, regular de-scaling of your Brewer is essential to prevent the accumulation of calcium deposits or scale, which can impact its performance. The mineral content in water varies by location, affecting the rate of scale buildup. De-scaling every 6 months helps maintain the heating element and internal components that come in contact with water. The Brewer’s built-in sensors will detect scale interference and signal the need for de-scaling when the ‘DE-SCALE’ light illuminates.

Important De-Scaling Reminder : As a Keurig B-40 expert, take note that the Brewer will still function when the red ‘DE-SCALE’ light is illuminated. However, it is crucial to perform de-scaling promptly to prevent potential damage caused by continued scale build-up. Delaying de-scaling may lead to harm, prompting the red light to blink as an urgent alert to de-scale immediately to protect the Brewer from potential damage.

Step-by-Step Brewer Cleaning Procedure

As an expert on Keurig B-40, follow these instructions to ensure proper cleaning and maintenance of your Brewer:

1. PREPARE

• Gather 48 ounces of undiluted white vinegar, an empty sink, and a ceramic cup (avoid using paper cups).
• Empty the water from the Water Reservoir.

2. FILL AND CLEAN

• Pour the vinegar into the Water Reservoir, filling it up to the line just below the clear viewing area’s top edge.
• Place a ceramic cup on the Drip Tray, then run a brew cycle by pressing the Brew Button without using a K-Cup portion pack. Empty the contents of the cup into the sink.
• Repeat the brew process until the Water Reservoir is empty, emptying the cup contents into the sink after each cycle. Ensure the green Brew light flashes by opening and closing the lid between each cycle.
• Thoroughly rinse the Water Reservoir and fill it with fresh water.
• Allow the Brewer to stand for 4 hours while still on.

3. RINSE

• Ensure the Water Reservoir is filled with fresh water.
• Place a ceramic cup on the Drip Tray and run a regular brew cycle without using a K-Cup. Pour the contents of the cup into the sink.

Note. Should the red ‘DE-SCALE’ light continue to be displayed on the LED Control Center even after completing the de-scaling procedure, it is advised to repeat the de-scaling process outlined above

Storage

Proper Storage and Precautions for Your Brewer: To ensure the longevity of your Brewer, it is essential to empty the Water Reservoir before storing it. Store the Brewer in an upright position to prevent water leakage from the inner tank, especially in cold environments where freezing could cause damage. Before using it after storage, rinse the Water Reservoir with fresh water and perform three cleansing brews without a K-Cup. When relocating the Brewer, turn it off, unplug it, and empty the Water Reservoir. If the Brewer has been in freezing temperatures, allow it to reach room temperature for 2 hours before use.
