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
report any malfunction of or damage
to the Brewer.

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.

SECTION 2 Helpful Hints
Plug Power Cord into an Independent, Grounded Outlet – If the electric
circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your Brewer may not function
properly.
Initial Cleansing Brew – Before you make your first beverage, perform an
initial cleansing brew without inserting a K-Cup
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.
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.
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.
De-Scaling – 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. De-scaling 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.
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.
One Cup at a Time – Your new Brewer makes one fresh beverage at a time.
You will need to add fresh water each time you brew. Unlike other Keurig
Brewers, the B31 MINI Plus does not store water in the reser voir.
®
portion pack.
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.
Customize Your Size, Flavor & Brew – With over 200 K-Cup varieties and
multiple fill levels, your Brewer provides endless customization options – so
that you 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 (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.
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 and follow the brewing instructions
on page 8. Also, look for the “Brew Over Ice” icon on K-Cups specially crafted
to brew over ice! Important: Do not brew into a cup made of glass. Doing so
may cause the glass to crack or break.
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 water.
