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.

CAUTION: There are two sharp needles that puncture the K-Cup® portion
pack, one above the K-Cup Holder and the other in the bottom of the K-Cup
Holder. To avoid risk of injury, do not put your fingers in the K-Cup
Assembly Housing.

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 K­Cup Assembly Housing during the brewing process.

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS: A short power supply cord is provided
to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

If an extension cord is used, (1) the marked electrical rating of the cord set
or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the
appliance; (2) the cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the
countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over
unintentionally; and (3) the extension cord must include a 3-prong
grounding plug.

Set-up

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 9–10 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® Water Filter Starter
Kit (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 (Extra­Small 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 K-Cup® (with up to 30% more ground coffee 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 page 13 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. The Water Reservoir Assembly will be encased
on the opposite side of the polyfoam.

6. Before removing the Brewer from the polyfoam packaging material,
carefully lift the Water Reservoir Assembly out of the polyfoam and
place it upright on a flat, steady surface.

7. Once the Water Reservoir Assembly is unpacked, 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 and Water Reservoir Assembly.

10. 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).

11. Place the Brewer upright on a flat, steady surface. Remove the
tape from the Water Reservoir.

We recommend you save all packing materials in case future shipping

of the product is necessary.

WARNING:

Keep all plastic bags away from children.
