SAFE OPERATION & USE
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety
precautions should be followed, including the
following:
1. Read all instructions before using.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles and
knobs when available.
3. This appliance must be properly installed
and located in accordance with these
instructions before it is used.
4. The use of an accessory not evaluated for
use with this appliance may cause injuries.
5. Do not place on or near a hot gas or
electric burner, or in a heated oven.
6. Do not use outdoors.
7. To protect against electric shock, do not
immerse cords, plugs, or the appliance in
water or any other liquid.
8. Do not overfill the Water Reservoir
with water.
9. Use
only water in this appliance! Do not
put any other liquids or foods in the Water
Reservoir except as instructed in the
Cleaning Instructions in this guide.
10. Unplug the coffee brewer before cleaning
or making repairs. Allow to cool
before putting on or taking off parts and
before cleaning the appliance.
11. For best operation, plug the appliance into
its own electrical outlet on a dedicated
circuit to prevent flickering of lights,
blowing of fuses or tripping a circuit
breaker.
13. Do not let the cord hang over the edge
of the table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
14. To disconnect, press the Power Button on
the top of the Brewer to ‘OFF’ status and
then remove the plug from the wall outlet.
15. Close supervision is necessary when
any appliance is used by or near children.
16. Do not lift the Handle to open the Lid
of the Brewer while brewing is in progress.
17. Always keep the Water Reservoir Cover on
the Water Reservoir unless you are refilling it.
18. This appliance is equipped with a power
cord having a grounding wire with a
grounding plug. The appliance must be
grounded using a 3-hole properly grounded
outlet. In the event of an electrical short
circuit, grounding reduces the risk of
electrical shock.
19. If the outlet is a standard 2-prong wall
outlet, it is your personal responsibility
and obligation to have it replaced with a
properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
20. Do not, under any circumstances, cut or
remove the third (ground) prong from
the power cord or use an adapter.
21. Consult a qualified electrician if the
grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if doubt exists as to whether
the appliance is properly grounded.
22. Do not use the appliance for other than
its intended use.
12. Do not operate any appliance with a
damaged cord or plug or after the appliance
malfunctions or is damaged in any manner.
Contact Keurig Customer Service to arrange
for replacement or repair.

SECTION 1
SET-UP & OPERATION
Helpful Hints
1. Keep your Brewer turned ‘ON’ at all times.
To brew a fresh cup of coffee or tea anytime
you want, we suggest you keep your Brewer
turned ‘ON’ all the time.
However, you can set the Brewer to automatically turn off two hours after your last brew.
Follow the simple
page 8 to make using the Brewer convenient
for you.
2. For the best tasting gourmet coffee or tea,
Keurig recommends using bottled or filtered
water.
Water quality varies from place to place. If you
notice an undesirable taste in your cup of coffee
such as chlorine or other mineral taste, we
recommend you consider using bottled water or
water from a filtration system.
3. Plug Brewer into its own grounded outlet.
If the electric circuit is overloaded with
other appliances, your Brewer may not
function properly. If possible, the Brewer
should be operated on its own circuit, separate
from other appliances.
4. Brewing into a travel mug.
To brew into a travel mug, simply remove the
Drip Tray Assembly and place the travel mug
on the Drip Tray Base.

Set-Up & First Brew
IMPORTANT: You cannot use your Keurig
brewer until it has been primed for its first use
as set forth below.
NOTE: If Brewer has been exposed to temperatures below freezing, allow Brewer at least two
hours to reach room temperature before priming. A frozen or extremely cold brewer will not
prime properly and can cause damage.
Priming your Brewer
1. Unwrap cord and plug the brewer into a
grounded outlet.
2. Ensure Brew/Drain is set to Brew.
3. Place a cup or mug on the Drip Tray Plate.
4. Remove the Water Reservoir from Brewer by
first removing Lid from Reservoir, then lifting
Reservoir straight up and away from Brewer
(may be tight). Rinse with fresh water.
5. Fill Water Reservoir with fresh water so
that the water level reaches the line just
below the top edge of the clear viewing
area. (Be careful not to over fill.)
6. Place Water Reservoir base into the left
side of the Brewer and be sure the
Water Reservoir Lock Tabs engage
with the Brewer. Replace Lid on Water Reservoir.
Please note, a K-Cup
®
should not be used
