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 sur faces. 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 accessor y attachments not 
recommended by the appliance manufac-
turer may result in fire, electrical shock or 
injur y 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 
injur y do not immerse cords, plugs, or the 
appliance in water or any other liquid.
 8. Do not over fill the Water Reser voir.
 9.  Use only water in this appliance! Do not 
put any other liquids or foods in the Water 
Reser voir except as directed in the 
Cleaning Instructions.
10.Turn off and unplug the Brewer before 
cleaning or maintenance. Allow to cool 
before putting on or taking off par ts 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 
Ser vice to repor t 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, turn Power Button to ‘OFF’ 
status and then remove the plug from the 
wall outlet.
15.  Close super vision is necessar y 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 Reser voir Lid on 
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 shor t 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 
purposes than its intended use.

is adult super vision. Brewer dispenses ver y hot water.
2. SPECIAL NOTICE FOR HOT COCOA USERS:  
IMMEDIATELY AFTER USING A HOT COCOA K-CUP, 
RUN a Hot Water Brew Cycle without a K-Cup to 
avoid the possibilit y of clogging the exit needle. 
DO NOT assume the next user will do this.

Removing the serial number label from the Brewer will void warr ant y. 
CAUTION: There are two sharp needles that puncture the K-Cup®

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.

							Set-up
Helpful Hints 
1.  Keep your Brewer turned “ON” at all times. 
To brew a fresh cup of coffee, tea or hot cocoa
any time 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 
automatica
lly turn off after a period of time.
Follow the simple instructions on pages
 13 –14 
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 Star ter Kit 
(available at www.keurig.com). 
Water qualit y varies from place to place. If you 
notice an undesirable taste in your cup of 
coffee, such as chlorine or other min
eral tastes, 
we recommend you consider using bottled 
water or water from a filtration system.
3.  Customize the Size, Flavor & Brew That’s 
Per fect for You.™
With the choice of over 200 varieties of K-Cup® 
por tion packs and 5 brew sizes (Small Cup-4 
oz., Small Mug-6 oz., Medium Mug-8 oz., Large 
Mug-10 oz., and Travel Mug-12oz.) your Keurig
® 
Brewer gives you endless options to customize 
the size, flavor and brew that’s per fect 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 A ssembly and place the travel mug
on the Drip Tray Base.
6.  De-scale Brewer regularly.  
Please see pages 16 and 17 for instructions.
Unpacking Instructions
1.  Place Brewer box on a large steady sur face
(such as a table or counter top) or on the floor. 
Open the box.
2. Remove enclosed literature.
 3. Turn the box on its side with the front of the 
box face down.
 4. Reach into the box and grasp the foam inser t 
that contains the Brewer.
 5. Carefully pull the foam inser t toward you 
and out of the box. The Brewer will still be 
encased in the poly foam and be on its side.
 6. Remove the top poly foam packaging material.
 7. Carefully lift Brewer off of the bottom poly foam 
and place it upright on a flat, steady sur face.
 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 
bottom of the Brewer.
10.   Place the Brewer upright on a flat, steady 
sur face. Remove tape holding Water Reser voir 
in place. 
We recommend you save all packing materials in 
case future shipping of the product is necessar y.

Keep all plastic bags away
from children.
