Controls and Indicators

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 on 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. 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.

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. Remove the package of complimentary K-Cup

portion packs.

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

5. Reach into the box and grasp the plastic bag that contains the Brewer.

6. 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.

7. Remove the top polyfoam packaging material.

8. Carefully lift Brewer off of the bottom polyfoam and place it upright on a flat, steady surface.

9. Lift plastic bag off of Brewer.

10. Carefully turn the Brewer on its side and record on page 3 of this book the Serial Number located on the white sticker on the bottom of the Brewer. The Serial Number is also located on the bottom of the Brewer box.

11. 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.

2. Place a cup or mug on the Drip Tray Plate.

3. 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.

4. 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.)

tures 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.

K-Cup

portion pack

NOTE: You may get less coffee or tea in your

cup during your next brew. We recommend that you perform a cleansing brew with water only after a terminated brew. Then your NEXT brew will be the proper volume.

Adding Water

The LED 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 illuminating the blue light next to ‘ADD WATER’. The Brewer will not allow you to brew when the blue 'ADD WATER' light is illuminated.

The Water Reservoir can be filled in two ways.

1. Lift off the Water Reservoir Lid and pour water directly into the Water Reservoir while it is still attached to the Brewer, then replace the Lid.

2. Remove the Water Reservoir from Brewer

by first removing Lid from Reservoir, then lifting Reservoir straight up and away from Brewer. Fill with water. Place the Water Reservoir back on the Brewer and replace the Lid.

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 green light above the Brew Button on the LED Control Center will flash. Be sure to have a mug or cup on the Drip Tray and then press the Brew Button.

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 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 Reservoir, simply refill.)

2. Be sure the Brewer is turned on. Raise and lower the handle on the Brewer without inserting a K-Cup and wait until the red light next to 'HEATING' turns off.

2. The Drip Tray can accumulate up to 8 ounces of overflow. The Drip Tray and Drip Tray Plate should be periodically inspected and rinsed clean. To remove the Drip Tray Assembly, simply slide it toward you, keeping it level at all times to avoid spilling. The Drip Tray and Drip Tray Plate are dishwasher safe.

Cleaning the K-Cup®Portion Pack Holder Assembly

1. Cleaning the Parts

The K-Cup Holder Assembly is dishwasher safe. To remove from the Brewer, open the cover by lifting the Handle. Grasp the top of the K-Cup Holder with one hand while pushing up on the bottom of the K-Cup Holder from underneath with the other until it releases. After cleaning, align the K-Cup Holder with the opening using the two front ribs as a guide and snap into place from the top.

2. Cleaning the Funnel

The Funnel can be removed from the K-Cup Holder by pulling on it until it snaps off. The Funnel is dishwasher safe. To replace it just snap it back onto the K-Cup Holder Assembly.

3. Cleaning the Exit Needle

The Exit Needle is located on the inside bottom of the K-Cup Holder Assembly. Should a clog arise due to coffee grinds, it can be cleaned using a paper clip or similar tool. Remove KCup Holder, insert the paper clip into the Needle to loosen the clog and push it out. The K-Cup Holder is dishwasher safe.

Cleaning the Water Reservoir and Water Reservoir Lid

The Water Reservoir Lid should be cleaned with a damp soapy non-abrasive cloth. Lid should not be put into the dishwasher.

The Water Reservoir can be placed into the dishwasher for cleaning or can be cleaned with soapy water and rinsed thoroughly.

Do not dry the inside of the Water Reservoir with a cloth as lint may remain.

De-Scaling Your Brewer

Mineral content in water varies from place to place. Depending on the mineral content of the water in your area, calcium deposits or scale may build up in your Brewer. Scale is nontoxic, but left unattended, it can hinder Brewer performance. De-scaling your Brewer helps maintain the heating element, and other internal parts of the Brewer that come in contact with water.

The Brewer should be de-scaled every 6 months to ensure optimal performance. It is
