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 Switch

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.

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.

SAVE THESE

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® PACK, RUN a Hot Water Brew Cycle

without a K-Cup

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

P3 201309003 KER755_K79.pdf 1C( K) ZB2319 2013.09.06

CAUTIO N: There are two sharp needles that puncture the K-Cup® pack, one above the K-Cup Holder. To avoid risk of injur y, do not put your fingers in the K-Cup Assembly Housing.

CAUTIO N: There is extremely hot water in the K-Cup® Pack Holder during the brew process. To avoid risk of injury, do not lift the Handle or open the K-Cup Pack Assembly Housing during the brewing process.

CAUTIO N: Do not fill above MAX FILL line. If you fill the Water Reservoir above this point, you may occasionally get a larger brew than you selected for your first brew of the day. If you prefer to have your reservoir filled to the top, we recommend you use a large mug for your first brew of the day to avoid any risk of overflow.

CAUTION: Please always keep the brewer in its upright position to avoid potential injury and/or damage to your brewer.

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS:

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.

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, tea or hot cocoa (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 250 varieties of K-Cup® 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 K-Cup® pack (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.

5. Remove K-Cup® pack af ter 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 A ssembly and place the travel mug on the Drip Tray Base.

7. Descale 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.
