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 recommended 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.

Features Platinum Plus — Model B79 Brewer

Helpful Hints

1. 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.

2. Keep your Brewer turned “ON”.

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

anytime you want, 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 11–14 to find the settings that are most convenient for you.

3. For the best tasting gourmet coffee, tea or hot cocoa, 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 tastes, we recommend you consider using bottled water or water from a filtration system. For best results, carefully follow manufacturer’s instructions when using any water filtration system.

4. Customize the size, flavor & brew that’s perfect for you.

With the choice of over 200 varieties of K-Cup® portion packs and 5 brew sizes (Extra-Small Cup-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® 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 portion pack (with up to 30% more ground coffee than regular varieties) and brew 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.

5. Remove K-Cup® portion pack after use.

Please see page 7 for brewing instructions.

6. 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.

7. De-scale Brewer regularly.

Please see pages 15 and 16 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.

Keep all plastic bags away

from children.
