Keurig 20 K400 Instruction Manual

							USE & CARE GUIDE  
						

							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 fill the Water Reservoir 
above the MAX FILL line.
 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 Power 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 Power Cord hang  
over the edge of the table or 
counter, or touch hot surfaces.
 14. To disconnect, press the Power 
Button 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.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS  
						

							1 7. Always keep the Flip-Top 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.
 23. Remove the shipping disk  
before brewing.
WARNING TO USERS  
AND PARENTS: 
1. DO NOT permit children to use 
the brewer unless there is adult 
supervision. Brewer dispenses  
very hot water. 
2. SPECIAL NOTICE FOR 
HOT COCOA/OTHER USERS: 
IMMEDIATELY AFTER USING 
A HOT COCOA/OTHER POD, 
RUN A HOT WATER BREW 
CYCLE without a pod to avoid 
the possibility of clogging the exit 
needle. DO NOT assume the next 
user will do this.
SAVE THESE 
INSTRUCTIONS.

CAUTION: There are three sharp 
needles that puncture pods, two 
above the Pod Holder and the other  
in the bottom of the Pod Holder.  
To avoid risk of injury, do not put your 
fingers in the Pod Holder Assembly.
CAUTION: There is extremely hot 
water in the Pod Holder during the 
brew process. To avoid risk of injury, 
do not lift the Handle or open the  
Pod Holder Assembly during the 
brewing process.
CAUTION: Do not fill above the 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 Water 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.
CAUTION: Very hot liquid.  
Adult supervision required.
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 
cords 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 
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.
