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 Cold 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 brewer Handle while
brewing is in progress; scalding
may occur.
17. Always keep the Cold Water Reservoir
Lid closed 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.

SECTION 2 Helpful Hints
SECTION 3 Buttons & Indicators
1. Plug Power Cord into an independent,
grounded outlet.
If the electric circuit is overloaded with other
appliances, your brewer may not function
properly.
2. Initial cleansing brew.
Before you make your first beverage, perform
an initial cleansing brew without inserting a
®
pack.
K-Cup
3. One cup at a time.
Your brewer makes one fresh beverage at a
time. You will need to add fresh water each
time you brew. Unlike other Keurig
the K10 MINI Plus does not store water in the
reser voir.
4. The right water makes a difference.
For the best-tasting gourmet coffee, tea or hot
cocoa, Keurig recommends using bottled or
filtered water. We do not recommend using
distilled or reverse osmosis water. Note that
water quality can vary from place to place. If
you notice an undesirable taste in your
beverage (such as chlorine or other mineral
substance), we recommend trying bottled
water or water from a filtration system. For
best results, carefully follow manufacturer’s
instructions when using any water filtration
system.
5. Customize your size, flavor & brew.
With over 250 K-Cup
multiple fill levels, your brewer provides
endless customization options – so that you
®
pack varieties and
®
brewers,
can create the size, flavor and strength of each
beverage that is perfect for you. For a strong,
intense flavor, select an Extra Bold K-Cup
pack (with up to 30% more ground coffee than
regular varieties) along with a brew size that’s
right for you. The less water you use, the more
intense the flavor in your cup. The more water
you use, the less intense the flavor in your cup.
Use the Water Level Guide located inside the Cold
Water Reservoir to customize your brew size.
6. Brewing iced beverages.
Your iced tea and iced coffee taste best when
fresh-brewed hot over ice. Try it by placing a
tall cup filled with ice on the Drip Tray, choose
your favorite K-Cup
brewing instructions on page 8. Also, look for
the “Brew Over Ice” icon on K-Cup
specially crafted to brew over ice!
IM POR TANT: Do not brew into a cup made of
glass. Doing so may cause the glass to crack
or break.
7. Remove K-Cup
Please see page 8 for brewing instructions.
8. Brewing into a tall mug.
To brew into a tall mug, simply remove the Drip
Tray Assembly and place the tall mug on the
Drip Tray Base. Without the Drip Tray
Assembly, however, you do lose the benefit of
the Drip Tray to contain any excess liquid.

pack after use.

9. The Drip Tray.
Any liquid overflow (from your cup or from the
Cold Water Reservoir) will be caught in the
Drip Tray. Be sure to empty the Drip Tray when
the red Drip Tray Overflow Indicator pops up.
10. Automatic shut-off.
As a safety feature, your brewer will shut off
automatically when it is idle for longer than 90
seconds. Simply press the Power Button to
restart.
11. Clean your brewer regularly.
To keep your brewer looking and performing at
its best, be sure to clean the external and
internal components on a regular basis.
See page 12 for more information.
12. Descaling.
Depending on the mineral content of the water
in your area, calcium deposits or scale may
build up in your brewer. Scale is non-toxic, but
left unattended, it can hinder brewer
performance. Descaling your brewer helps
maintain the heating element and other
internal parts of the brewer that come in
contact with water. See page 14 for more
information.
13. Storing.
When storing your brewer, empty the Drip Tray.
Follow the instructions on page 14 for
emptying the Internal Hot Water Tank. Store
your brewer upright in a safe, dry, frost-free
environment. See page 15 for more
information.
