Beyond Bending Tell You How
Keurig coffee makers are great for those who want a quick and easy cup of coffee. However, over time, the machine may need to be taken apart and cleaned to keep it running smoothly. In this article, we will guide you on how to take apart a Keurig Slim model.
Step 1: Unplug the Machine
The first step before taking apart any electrical appliance is to unplug it. So, make sure your Keurig Slim is unplugged before proceeding.
Step 2: Remove the Water Tank
The water tank of the Keurig Slim is located at the back of the machine. To remove it, simply lift the tank up and away from the machine. This will expose the internal components of the machine.
Step 3: Remove the K-Cup Holder
The K-Cup holder is located at the top of the machine. To remove it, simply lift the handle to open the holder and then pull it out of the machine. This will give you access to the needle that punctures the K-Cup.
Step 4: Remove the Needle and the Filter
Now that you have access to the needle, you can remove it by pulling it out of the holder. Once the needle is removed, you can also remove the filter by gently pulling it out of the holder.
Step 5: Clean the Components
With all the components removed, you can now clean them with warm soapy water. Make sure to rinse and dry them thoroughly before reassembling the machine.
Step 6: Reassemble the Machine
To reassemble the machine, simply follow the steps in reverse order. Start by inserting the filter and needle back into the K-Cup holder, then place the K-Cup holder back into the machine. Next, reattach the water tank and plug in the machine.
Step 7: Run a Cleaning Cycle
After reassembling the machine, it’s important to run a cleaning cycle to ensure that all the components are working properly. Simply fill the water tank with water and run a cycle without a K-Cup.
By following these steps, you can easily take apart and clean your Keurig Slim coffee maker. This will help to ensure that your machine continues to work properly and provide you with a great cup of coffee every time.
