SAFE OPERATION & USE IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

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 an accessory not approved for use with this appliance may cause injuries.
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 electric shock, 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. Unplug the coffee brewer before cleaning. 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 for assistance.
13. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
14. To disconnect, press and release the Power Button on the back of the Brewer to the ‘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 Cover 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 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 anything other than its intended use.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

CAUTION: Two sharp needles 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 the risk of injury, do not put your fingers in the K-Cup Chamber.

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 K-Cup Chamber during the brew 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 & OPERATION

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,e so you can set it to turn on and/or off automatically to match your schedule. Or, if you prefer, set the Brewer to automatically turn off after some time. Follow the simple instructions on pages 9 and 10 to make using the Brewer convenient for you.
2. 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, such as chlorine or other mineral tastes, we recommend you consider using bottled water or water from a filtration system.
3. Choose from four serving sizes.
   The perfect cup of coffee, tea, or hot cocoa means something different to each coffee lover. Because your Keurig Brewer has a wide variety of coffees to choose from, it’s easy to find your favorite taste profile. Your Brewer has five size options: a stronger small cup (5.25 oz. serving), a small mug (7.25 oz. serving), a large mug (9.25 oz. serving), a travel mug (11.25 oz. serving), and an iced beverage setting (3.25 oz. serving). Follow the simple instructions on page 7.
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 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.

Unpacking Instructions

1. Place the Brewer box on a large, steady surface (such as a table or countertop) or on the floor. Open the box.
2. Remove the Quick Start Guide, Use & Care Guide, and other literature.
3. Remove the package of complimentary K-Cup® portion packs.
4. Turn the box on its side with the front of the box facing down.
5. Reach into the box and grasp the plastic bag that contains the Brewer.
6. 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.
7. Remove the top polyfoam packaging material.
8. Carefully lift Brewer off the bottom polyfoam and place it upright on a flat, steady surface.
9. Lift the plastic bag off Brewer.
10. Carefully turn the Brewer on its side and record on page 3 of this book the Serial Number located on the white sticker on the bottom of the Brewer. The Serial Number is also located on the bottom of the Brewer box.
11. Place the Brewer upright on a flat, steady surface. Remove the tape holding the Water Reservoir in place.
    We recommend you save all packing materials in case future shipping of the product is necessary.

NOTE: If you are searching for a “stronger” tasting cup of coffee, try our Extra Bold K-Cups. They have 30% more ground coffee in each K-Cup® portion pack. See www.keurig.com for over 200 varieties of K-Cups.
WARNING: Keep all plastic bags away from children.

Set-Up & First Brew

IMPORTANT: You cannot use your Keurig Brewer until it has been primed for its first use as set forth below.

NOTE: If Brewer has been exposed to temperatures below freezing, allow Brewer at least two hours to reach room temperature before priming. A frozen or extremely cold Brewer will not prime properly and can cause damage.

Priming Your Brewer

1. Unwrap the cord and plug the Brewer into a grounded outlet.
2. Place a 12 oz. mug on the Drip Tray Plate.
3. Remove the Water Reservoir from the Brewer by first removing the Lid from the Reservoir, then lifting the Reservoir straight up and toward the front of the Brewer. Rinse with fresh water.
4. Fill the Water Reservoir with bottled or filtered water so that the water level is just below the top edge of the reservoir.
5. Place the Water Reservoir into the left side of the Brewer and be sure the Water Reservoir Lock Tab engages with the Brewer. Replace Lid on the Water Reservoir.
6. Press and release the Power Switch found directly behind the Brewer. The switch is spring-loaded and will return to its original position.
7. The Blue LCD Control Center will come on and indicate ‘PRIME’, and the ‘BREW’ Button will flash. Please note, a K-Cup should NOT be used for the Priming Sequence.
   NOTE: If the Water Reservoir is empty or not in place on the Brewer, then the LCD Control Center will indicate ‘ADD WATER’ and the tank LED’s will flash. None of the Buttons will be active until water is added to the Water Reservoir.
8. Press the ‘BREW’ Button.
9. The Brewer will automatically fill with water (priming it), and then the water will be heated. This will take about 4 minutes. During the heating period, ‘NOT READY’ is displayed on the LCD Control Center. Once the water is heated, ‘READY TO BREW’ will be displayed, and the ‘BREW’ Button will flash.
   NOTE: You may see small amounts of water coming from the Vent and dripping into the Water Reservoir during this and subsequent heating – this is normal.
10. Press the ‘BREW’ Button to start a cleansing brew, during which hot water will flow into your mug. When the flow stops, discard the hot water.
11. The one-time priming process is now complete, and you are ready to brew your first cup!
    NOTE: The Brewer may take 15-30 seconds to reheat water between brews, and then ‘READY TO BREW’ will be displayed.

Ready to Brew Your First Cup

1. LCD Control Center will indicate ‘READY TO BREW’.
2. Place a cup or mug on the Drip Tray Plate.
3. Lift the Handle, and the K-Cup chamber will open toward you.
   CAUTION: Two sharp needles 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 the risk of injury, do not put your fingers in the K-Cup Chamber.
4. Select a K-Cup® portion pack.
   NOTE: Do not remove the foil lid or puncture the K-Cup® portion pack.
5. Place a K-Cup® portion pack in the K-Cup Holder (as shown in the exhibit at the top of the page).
6. Lower the Handle to close the Lid over the K-Cup Holder. (When it is closed completely, the LCD Control Center will indicate ‘READY TO BREW’. The ‘LEFT’ and ‘RIGHT’ Buttons will be lit, and the ’BREW’ Button will flash up to 60 seconds.)
   • All brew size icons are lit with the default size flashing. To choose a different size, press the ‘LEFT’ Button to go down in size or the ‘RIGHT’ Button to go up in size.
   • Your choices are a stronger small cup (5.25 oz. serving), a small mug (7.25 oz. serving), a large mug (9.25 oz. serving), a travel mug (11.25 oz. serving), or an iced beverage setting (3.25 oz. serving).
   • To use the iced beverage setting, place a tall glass filled with ice on the drip tray. Use your favorite K-Cup, select the iced beverage brew size, and press the brew button. Add more ice once brewing is complete. Add cream and sugar if desired.
   • Once size is chosen, press the ‘BREW’ Button. BREW Button will stop flashing, LEFT and RIGHT Buttons will no longer be lit, and the icon of brew size will be lit.
     NOTE: If you do not push the Brew Button in 60 seconds, the LCD Control Center will return to ’READY TO BREW’ and the Brew Buttons will be disabled to prevent accidental activation. Re-activate the Brew sequence by raising and lowering the Handle completely.
7. The LCD Control Center will now display the word ‘BREWING’, and the serving size you selected will be illuminated on the LCD.
   CAUTION: There is extremely hot water in the K-Cup Holder during the brew process. To avoid the risk of injury, do not lift the Handle or open the K-Cup Chamber during the brew process.
8. There may be a short pause before the brewing process begins. The process lasts about 60 seconds and ends with a burst of air to remove all liquid from the K-Cup.
9. Lift the Handle and remove and dispose of the used K-Cup. CAUTION: K-Cup will be hot.
10. Enjoy your first cup of Keurig Brewed® gourmet coffee, tea or hot cocoa!
11. Your Brewer will display ‘NOT READY’ as it heats water for the next brew cycle. The ‘READY TO BREW’ indication will return to the LCD Control Center in about 15-30 sec.

NOTE: Following the brew, your Brewer will fill in preparation for the next brew. The pump will make a vibrating sound. This is normal.

CONTROLS & INDICATORS

Setting the clock is optional. When the clock is set, the time will appear on the LCD Control Center. NOTE: You must set the clock if you will be using the Auto On/Off Time programming feature.

• Press the ‘MENU’ Button.
• The word ‘OFF’ will appear at the top of the LCD Control Center to indicate that the clock is not set. The programming options will appear on the LCD Control Center with a small arrow pointing to ‘SET CLOCK’. H (Hour) will appear above the ‘LEFT’ Button and M (Minute) will appear above the ‘RIGHT’ Button. The ‘H’ and ‘M’ icons and ‘LEFT’ and ‘RIGHT’ Buttons will flash.
• Press or hold the ‘LEFT’ Button under the flashing H until you have reached the appropriate hour. If the hour has passed 12, the indicator switches from AM to PM.
• Press or hold the ‘RIGHT’ Button under the flashing M to set the minutes.

Brew size and brew temperature menu settings are remembered and restored automatically. All other settings will be restored automatically after the clock is set.

Programming On/Off Features

The Brewer provides three modes so that you can enjoy gourmet coffee, tea or hot cocoa on your own schedule. By programming your Brewer to turn on each morning, you will never have to wait for the Brewer to warm up. It will take the Brewer approximately 3 1/2 minutes to warm up from room temperature.

1. Leave Brewer ON All the Time (recommended).
   The Brewer can be left on all the time so that it is always ready to brew a fresh cup of gourmet coffee, tea or hot cocoa. To turn the Brewer off at any time, simply press and release the Power Switch. (Note: Although the clock remains on, if set, you can not brew a cup of coffee, tea or hot cocoa). Press and release the Power Button again to restore power to the Brewer. You will have to wait for the water to heat up before the Brewer is ready to brew.
2. Set the Brewer to Turn Off at a Specified Time After the Last Brew.
   • Press the MENU Button twice to program the AUTO OFF feature. The LCD Control Center will now display the programming options with a small arrow next to ‘SET AUTO OFF’.
   • Press or hold the ‘LEFT’ Button under the flashing H to advance 1 hour at a time, up to 9 hours.
   • After setting the desired AUTO-OFF time, press the MENU Button five times to scroll through the remaining programming options and exit the programming mode. ‘AUTO OFFSET’ will now be displayed to indicate that it has been set.
   • To cancel the AUTO-OFF feature, press the MENU Button twice to reach the AUTO-OFF programming mode. Press and release the Button under the flashing H to advance one hour at a time until ‘OFF’ is displayed. Press menu 5 times to exit programming.
3. Program Your Brewer to Turn ON and/or OFF at a Specific Time.
   EXAMPLE: If you choose to set the On Time at 6:15 AM and the Off Time for 10:00 PM, then the Brewer will be ‘ON’ and maintain hot water in the tank during that time so that it is always ready for you to brew. If you wanted to brew outside this window, simply press and release the Power Button, and you can brew as soon as the water is heated and the ‘READY TO BREW’ indicator is displayed on the LCD Control Center.
   • After setting the correct time (required), press the Menu Button three times to program the Auto On time feature. The LCD Control Center will show the programming options with a small arrow next to ‘SET ON TIME’.
   • Press or hold the ‘LEFT’ Button under the H to scroll through the hours to your desired ON time hour.
   •  Press or hold the ‘RIGHT’ Button under the M to scroll through the minutes to your desired ON time minutes.
   • After setting the desired time, press the Menu Button to save the On Time and move to the ‘SET OFF TIME’.
   • If you want to set an OFF time, repeat the procedure above in steps b & c to set your desired OFF time.
   • To complete the process, press the Menu Button three more times to exit the programming mode. The Control Center will now indicate the options you have set.
4. Programming Brew Temperature (187° – 192º F)
   The Brewer brews coffee at a preset temperature of 192°F. You can adjust this temperature down by 5° if you prefer a cooler cup of coffee, tea or hot cocoa. Simply follow the instructions below.
   • Press the Menu Button on the LCD Control Center five times to program the Brew Temperature feature.
   • The LCD Control Center will now display the programming options with a small arrow next to ‘SET BREW TEMP’. Also, the temperature 192° (initial setting) will be displayed at the top of the LCD Control Center to indicate the current temperature setting.
   • A minus sign will appear over the ‘LEFT’ Button and/or a plus sign over the ‘RIGHT’ Button. Use these Buttons to raise or lower the temperature one degree at a time.
   • Once you have reached your desired brew temperature, press the MENU Button twice to exit the programming mode. ‘BREW TEMP SET’ will be displayed in the LCD Control Center if you have changed it from 192°.
   • To change the brew temperature again, repeat steps a through c to change the temperature up and/or down, remembering that the temperature can only be between 187° and 192°.
5. Programming Your Brew Size
   The Brewer is preset with the small mug (7.25 oz.) as the default brew size. The default brew size allows the user to avoid scrolling through brew sizes if a particular size is chosen most often. To change the default brew size to your desired brew size:
   • Press ‘MENU’ six times.
   • Using the ‘LEFT’ and ‘RIGHT’ Buttons, select your desired default brew size.
   • Once the desired default brew size is selected, press ‘MENU’ once to exit. The LCD will display the brew size set.
