IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS Safe Operation & Use

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 accessory attachments not recom-

mended by the appliance manufacturer may result in fire, electrical shock or injury to persons.

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 fire, electric shock and injury

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. Turn off and unplug the Brewer before

cleaning or maintenance. 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 report any malfunction of or damage to the Brewer.

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

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 Lid 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.

INSTRUCTIONS.

WARNING TO USERS AND PARENTS

1. DO NOT permit children to use brewer unless there

is adult supervision. Brewer dispenses very hot water.

2. SPECIAL NOTICE FOR HOT COCOA USERS: IMMEDIATELY AFTER USING A HOT COCOA K-CUP, RUN a Hot Water Brew Cycle without a K-Cup to avoid

the possibility of clogging the exit needle. DO NOT assume the next user will do this.

SAVE THESE

Features Platinum — Model B70 Brewer

Helpful Hints

1. Keep your Brewer turned “ON” at all times.

To brew a fresh cup of coffee, tea or hot cocoa

anytime you want, we suggest you keep your Brewer turned “ON” all the time. However, the Brewer is fully programmable so you can set it to turn on and off automatically to match your schedule. Or, if you prefer, set the Brewer to automatically turn off after a period of time. Follow the simple instructions on pages 10–13 to make using the Brewer convenient for you.

2. For the best tasting gourmet coffee, tea or hot cocoa, Keurig recommends using bottled water or the Keurig (available at www.keurig.com).

Water quality varies from place to place. If you notice an undesirable taste in your cup of coffee, such as chlorine or other mineral tastes, we recommend you consider using bottled water or water from a filtration system.

3. Customize the Size, Flavor & Brew That’s Perfect for You.™

With the choice of over 200 varieties of K-Cups and 5 brew sizes (Iced Beverage-3.25 oz., Small Cup-5.25 oz., Small Mug-7.25 oz., Large Mug-

9.25 oz., and Travel Mug-11.25 oz.) your Keurig

Water Filter Starter Kit

Brewer gives you endless options to customize the size, flavor and brew that’s perfect for you. For a strong, intense cup, select an Extra Bold

(with up to 30% more ground coffee

K-Cup than regular varieties) and brew the size that’s right for you. The smaller the brew size, the more intense flavor in your cup. The larger the brew size, the less intense flavor in your cup.

4. Plug Brewer into its own grounded outlet.

If the electric circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your Brewer may not function properly. The Brewer should be operated on its own circuit, separate from other appliances.

5. 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.

6. De-scale Brewer regularly.

Please see pages 14 and 15 for instructions.

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 enclosed literature.

3. Turn the box on its side with front of box face down.

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 and be on its side.

6. Remove the top polyfoam packaging material.

7. Carefully lift Brewer off of the bottom polyfoam

and place it upright on a flat, steady surface.

8. Lift plastic bag off of Brewer.

9. Record the serial number for this Brewer on

page 3 of this guide. The serial number can be found on the bottom of the Brewer box or on the Brewer behind the Drip Tray (when removed).

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.

Adding Water

The LCD Control Center of your Brewer will indicate when the water level

in the tank is low or if the Water Reservoir has been removed by displaying the words “ADD WATER” (fig. 9). The blue light in the Water Reservoir will also blink when water needs to be added. The Brewer will not allow you to brew when “ADD WATER” is displayed (fig. 9).

Reservoir back on the Brewer and replace the Lid.

IMPORTANT: Do not remove the Water Reservoir during the brewing process.

Brewing Hot Water

Your Brewer is able to produce hot water for making hot cocoa from a packet,

for use in cooking, for making soups, etc. Simply follow the instructions on page 7 — “Ready To Brew Your First Cup” without adding a K-Cup.

NOTE: After brewing a hot cocoa K-Cup, we recommend running a hot water

brew cycle without a K-Cup.

Purging the Brewer

If your Brewer has not been used for more than one week, you should purge the water from the inner tank.

1. If there is water in the Water Reservoir, remove the Lid, then lift the

Water Reservoir straight up and away from Brewer. Discard water, rinse and refill with water. Place the Water Reservoir back on the Brewer and replace the Lid. (If there is no water in the Water Reservoir, simply refill.)

2. Be sure the Brewer is turned on. Raise and lower the Handle on the

Brewer without inserting a K-Cup.

3. The LCD Control Center will display “READY TO BREW”.

Brew a Travel Mug (11.25 oz. serving) of water (do not use a K-Cup).

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 two more times to completely purge water from

inner tank.
