Setup
1. Unboxing and Placement
Carefully remove all packaging materials. Place the brewer on a stable, flat surface. Ensure there is adequate clearance above the brewer for the handle to open fully.
2. Filling the Water Reservoir
Remove the water reservoir from the side of the brewer. Fill it with fresh, filtered water up to the 'MAX' fill line. The K450 features a large 70 oz. water reservoir, reducing the frequency of refills.
3. Installing the Water Filter
If your model includes a water filter handle and cartridge, install it into the water reservoir as per the filter instructions. This helps ensure optimal beverage taste.
4. Initial Rinse Cycle
Before first use, perform a cleansing brew without a K-Cup or K-Carafe pod. Place a large mug on the drip tray, close the handle, select the largest brew size, and press the brew button. Discard the hot water.
