Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular maintenance and cleaning are essential to keep your Keurig B70 running smoothly and consistently. This ensures optimal performance and great-tasting coffee every time.
6.1 Daily Cleaning and Maintenance Tips
Regularly wipe the machine with a damp cloth, paying attention to the water reservoir, K-cup holder, and drip tray. Empty the drip tray daily and clean it with mild soap. Descale the machine every 3-6 months to prevent mineral buildup. Clean the needle by inserting a paper clip gently to remove debris. Rinse the machine periodically by running a water cycle without a K-cup. Always use fresh, filtered water to ensure the best taste. These simple steps will keep your Keurig B70 in great condition and prevent common issues.
6.2 Descaling the Machine
Descaling is essential to remove mineral buildup and maintain performance. Use Keurig’s Descaling Solution or a mixture of water and white vinegar. Run the solution through the machine without a K-cup, repeating if needed. Rinse thoroughly by running multiple water cycles to remove any lingering taste. Perform this process every 3-6 months or when the machine indicates it’s needed. Regular descaling ensures optimal water flow and prevents scaling damage, keeping your Keurig B70 functioning at its best and extending its lifespan.
