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

wit h wate r.

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

17. Always keep the Water Reservoir Lid

on the Water Reser voir 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 is extremely hot water in the Vue™pack Holder during
the brew process. To avoid risk of injury, do not lift the Handle or
remove the Brew Head during the brewing process. Do not remove or
puncture the lid of the Vue
caution when removing the Vue

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

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

Longer detachable power-supply or extension cords are available and
may be used if care is exercised in their use.

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 counter top 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.
