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.
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.
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.

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 instructions in Section 2, 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.
Unpacking Instructions
1.Place Brewer box on a large steady surface (such as a table or countertop) or
on the floor. Open the box.
2.Remove the Quick Start Guide, Use & Care Guide and other literature.
3.Turn the box on its side with top of box facing you.
4.Reach into the box and grasp the plastic bag that contains the Brewer.
5.Carefully pull the plastic bag (and packaging materials) toward you and out of the box. The Brewer will still be encased in the polyfoam.
6.Remove the polyfoam packaging material.
7.Carefully place the brewer upright on a flat, steady surface.
8.Lift plastic bag off of Brewer.
9.Write the serial number of the brewer on page 3 of this manual. The serial number is located on the label on the back of the brewer.
10.Place the Brewer upright on a flat, steady surface. Remove tape holding Water Reservoir in place.
We recommend you save all packing materials in case future shipping of the product is necessary.
WARNING: Keep all plastic bags away from children.

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.
7.Press Power Button found on upper right panel of the Brewer. The green light next to the Power Button will become illuminated.
8.The green brew size selector lights on the LED Control Center will flash to indicate the Brewer needs to be primed. Make sure the handle is all the way down before continuing.
Please note, a K-Cup® should not be used for the Priming Sequence.

9. Press the flashing Brew Button.
NOTE: If the Water Reservoir is empty or not in place on the Brewer, then the blue light next to 'ADD WATER' on the LED Control Center will be illuminated. The Brew Button will not be activated until water is added to the Water Reservoir.
10.The Brewer will automatically fill with water (priming it) and then the water will be heated. This will take less than 5 minutes.
During the heating period the red light next to 'HEATING' on the LED Control Center will become illuminated. Once the water is heated, the red light will turn off.
NOTE: You may see small amounts of water coming from the Vent and dripping into the Water Reservoir during this and subsequent heating – this is normal.
11.Raise the handle, then press the flashing back lit blue Brew Button to start a cleansing brew, during which hot water will flow into your cup or mug. Pour the hot water into the sink.
12.The Brewer will take less than 20 seconds to refill and reheat water between brews during which time the red light next to 'HEATING' on the LED Control Center may be illuminated. When the water has heated, the red light will turn off.
13. The priming process is now complete and you are ready to brew!

CAUTION: There is extremely hot water in the K-Cup Holder during the brew process.
To avoid risk of injury, do not lift the Handle or open the K-Cup® Chamber during the brew process.
10.There may be a short pause before the brewing process begins. The entire brew process lasts for approximately 40 to 50 seconds and ends with a burst of air to remove all liquid coffee or tea from the K-Cup®. The blue Brew Button will go off.
11.Lift the Handle to remove and dispose of the used K-Cup®. CAUTION: K-Cup® will be hot.
12.Enjoy your first cup of Keurig Brewed® gourmet coffee or tea!
13. The red light next to 'HEATING' on the LED Control Center may light as the water is heated for the next brew cycle. The Brewer will be ready for use in approximately 20 seconds.
NOTE: Following the brew, your Brewer will fill in preparation for the next brew. The pump will make a vibrating sound. This is normal.
Stopping the Brew Process
If you need to stop the brewing after the process has started, press the Power Button to turn the Brewer ‘OFF’. The flow of coffee or tea will stop, the heating element will shut off and the green light next to the Power Button will extinguish.
NOTE: You may get less coffee or tea in your cup during your next brew. We recommend that you perform a cleansing brew without a K- Cup® after a terminated brew or when a prime sequence has been completed. Then your NEXT brew will be the proper selected volume.

Adding Water
The LED Control Center of your Brewer will indicate when the water level in the reservoir is low or if the Water Reservoir has been removed by illuminating the blue light next to ‘ADD WATER’. The Brewer will not allow you to brew when the blue 'ADD WATER' light is illuminated.

Draining the Brewer
The Hot Water tank of the B140 can be completely drained. We recommend that the Brewer be drained if it is to be transported or stored for an extended period.
1.The Brewer must be powered on and ready to brew.
2.Empty the Cold Water Reservoir and place it back into the brewer. The add water LED will be flashing.
3.Turn the Brew / Drain selector at the rear of the brewer to the “DRAIN” position. The green Drain light will be flashing to indicate that you may start draining the brewer.
4.Press and hold the Drain button. Water will start to flow from the vent nozzle into the Water Reservoir. It will continue to flow for as long as the button is depressed. Flow of water stops when the drain button is released.
CAUTION: The water may be very hot! NOTE: The process to drain a Hot Water Tank from idle state takes about a minute.
5.Release the Drain button, when the flow of water stops. The brewer’s internal hot water tank is now empty.
6.Turn the valve to the ‘BREW’ position and turn off the brewer.
Brewing Hot Water
Your Brewer is able to produce a cup of hot water for making hot chocolate, for use in cooking, for making soups, etc. Simply raise and lower the handle on the Brewer without adding a K-Cup® portion pack. The blue brew button light will flash... Be sure to have a mug or cup on the Drip Tray, select a brew size and then press the Brew Button.
