3. Avoid using a cloth to dry the outer surface of the water reservoir since lint may still be present.

Descale Your Brewer

Your concern for your health made you clean your Brewer; now it’s time to Descale, as this step is even more critical for your health. Why? Because every type of water, whether filtered or unfiltered, includes minerals like calcium and magnesium, which travel through your coffee maker and build a gunk on the heating element. This mineral accumulation can be removed by descaling a coffee machine.

Why Is It Important To Descale Your Brewer?

Image content:

1. When descaling is required, the “DESCALE” indicator light will turn on and appear red.

The mineral composition of water varies from one place to another. Calcium deposits or scales may be produced in your Brewer, depending on the mineral concentration of the water. Although the scale is non-toxic, it can damage Brewer’s performance if not attended.

Descaling your Brewer helps keep the contaminated minerals and other elements away from your Brewer. The Brewer should be descaled every three to six months to guarantee optimum performance.

If calcium deposits start forming more quickly, they must be descaled more often. This Brewer can identify when scale buildup is affecting its performance. The red light next to “DESCALE” will turn on when the descaling becomes necessary, as shown in figure (fig. 10).

Follow the below instructions to Descale your Brewer completely.

Note: You should know that Brewer will still work, even though the word “DE-SCALE” is displayed. The Brewer can become damaged if you wait too long to descale once it is displayed. When this happens, the word “DE-SCALE” will start to flicker to warn you that the Brewer could sustain harm if you don’t descale right away.

Descaling Process

Is this your first time descaling, or have you forgotten the descaling instruction in the middle of the process? If YES, you must follow the step guide to describe yourself adequately. Let’s start this.

How To Store Your Keurig B-41?

If you are taking an extended vacation and concerned about your Keurig B-41, storing it rather than ruining it in the dust is better. To store it properly, you must take all these mandatory steps

Before storage, you must empty the water reservoir and ensure your Brewer is in a secure and dry atmosphere.
Please make sure to keep your Brewer in its upright position to prevent water leakage from the inner tank.
Make sure to place your Brewer at room temperature. If you place it at a cold temperature, the residual water in the reservoirs may freeze.
Turn off your Brewer, unhook it from the wall, and empty the water reservoir before moving it to a new place.
Please wait at least two hours for your Brewer to get up to room temperature if it has been exposed to below-freezing temperature
If you use your Brewer after a long time, I advise you to run three cleaning brews without a K-Cup and rinse it with fresh water when ready to use them after storing them.

Helpful Hints

In the end, I would love to drop some helpful hints with you, so you can also use them during your brewing experience.

Keep Your Brewer Turned ‘on’ At All Times

To enjoy a fresh cup of coffee, tea, or hot cocoa whenever you want, I would recommend you keep your Keyrig B-41 turned on all the time. So you won’t have to wait in case your taste buds badly crave it. Or, you can also use the option to set the Brewer to automatically turn off two hours after your last brew.

Use Bottled Or Filtered Water

I would highly recommend you to use filtered or bottled water to enjoy a better taste of your coffee. As The quality of water varies depending on location, you may notice an unpleasant taste in your coffee, such as chlorine or other mineral taste. So, in order to prevent this, you should prefer filtered or bottled water.
