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 
manufacturer 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   
with water.
 9. Use  only water  in this appliance! Do 
not put any other liquids or foods in the 
Water Reser voir 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 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 
b r e w e r.
 13. Do not let the 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 super vision is necessar y when 
any appliance is used by or near 
children.
 16. Do not lift the brewer Handle while   
brewing is in progress.
 17. Always keep the Water Reser voir 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 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 than 
its intended use.

record your Brewer Serial  nu mber here. See Unpacking Instr uctions on page 4 for serial number location.
Removing the serial number label from the brewer will void warr ant y. 
CAUTION: There are two sharp needles that puncture the K-Cup® pack, one 
above the K-Cup® Pack Holder and the other in the bottom of the K-Cup® Pack 
Holder. To avoid risk of injur y, do not put your fingers in the K-Cup® Pack 
Assembly Housing.
CAUTION: There is extremely hot water in the K-Cup
® Pack Holder during the

Pack  A ssembly Housing during the brewing process.
CAUTION: Do not fill above MA X FILL line. If you fill the Water Reser voir 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 reser voir filled to the top, we recommend you 
use a large mug for your first brew of the day to avoid any risk of over flow.
CAUTION:  Please always keep the brewer in its upright position to avoid 
potential injury and/or damage to your brewer.
SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS:
  A shor t 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 
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. 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.
 2.  Keep your brewer turned “ON.”   To brew a fresh cup of coffee, tea or hot cocoa  
any time you want, 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 10–13 to find the settings 
that are most convenient for you.
 3.  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, tea or hot cocoa (such as chlorine 
or other mineral tastes), we recommend you 
consider using bottled water or water from a 
filtration system. For best results, carefully 
follow manufacturer’s instructions when using  any water filtration system.
 4.  Customize the size, flavor & brew that’s   
perfect for you.  
With the choice of over 200 varieties of K-Cup® 
packs and 5 brew sizes (Extra-Small Cup-  
3.25 oz., Small Cup-5.25 oz., Small Mug-  
7.25 oz., Large Mug-9.25 oz., and Travel  Mug-11.25 oz.), 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
® pack 
(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.
 5.  Remove K-Cup® pack after use.  Please see page 7 for brewing instructions. 
 6. 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.
 7.  De-scale brewer regularly.   Please see pages 14 and 15 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 front of box   
face down.
 4. Reach into the box and grasp the plastic bag   
that contains the brewer.
 5. Carefully pull the plastic bag (and packaging 
materials) 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  brewer behind the Drip Tray (when removed).
 10. Place the brewer upright on a flat, steady 
surface. 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.
WARNING:   
Keep all plastic bags away  
from children.
