Filter Requirements
The Keurig B3000 brewer system requires the use of a water filtration system to optimize the coffee flavor and brewer reliability. Two mounting holes with screws have been provided on the back of the brewer for this purpose.
Keurig recommends the Omnipure KQ8A filter. A filter kit (part number 5025) is available from Keurig. This kit contains a KQ8A filter, filter head, and mounting bracket.
NOTE: NO PLUMBING CONNECTORS ARE PROVIDED WITH THIS KIT.
All KQ8A filter cartridges must have a minimum of four gallons of water run through it after mounting to the brewer and before they are connected to the brewer’s Inlet Valve at the install location. This procedure will prevent fine particles of carbon from entering and clogging the water inlet valve.
Getting Started
You will need several tools for the installation or servicing the B3000 brewing system. They are as follows:
•Two Number 2 Phillips screw drivers (8” and 12”)
•Pliers (Regular Adjustable and Needle Nose)
•Wire Cutters
•6 mm Nut Driver
Next:
a)Attach a ¾” female garden hose connection that will reduce to either a ⅜” or ¼” connection to the Inlet Valve.
b)Mount the filter assembly to the brewer using the screws provided on the back of the brewer.
c)Flush the filter BEFORE connecting to the Inlet Valve.
d)Plug brewer into a dedicated GFCI outlet. If the electric circuit is overloaded with other appliances, the circuit breaker may trip. If possible, the brewer should be operating on its own circuit, separate from other appliances. Never use an extension cord.
