• Unplug the brewer from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning.

What's in the Box

Upon unpacking your Keurig K-2500TM Coffee Maker, please ensure all components are present:

• Keurig K-2500TM Coffee Maker Unit
• 110 oz. Water Reservoir (included)
• Drip Tray
• Power Cord
• Instruction Manual

Setup

1. Unpacking and Placement

1. Remove all packaging materials and tape from the brewer.
2. Place the brewer upright on a stable, flat surface. Ensure there is adequate clearance above the brewer for the lid to open fully.
3. Clean the drip tray and water reservoir with warm, soapy water, then rinse thoroughly.

2. Water Connection

The K-2500TM offers two options for water supply:

• Using the Water Reservoir: Fill the 110 oz. water reservoir with fresh, filtered water up to the MAX fill line. Place the reservoir securely onto the back of the brewer.
• Direct Water Line Plumbing: For continuous water supply, the brewer can be plumbed directly to a water line. This requires professional installation and the use of a Keurig direct-plumb kit (sold separately). Refer to the direct-plumb kit instructions for detailed installation steps.

3. Initial Rinse Brew

Before brewing your first beverage, perform an initial rinse brew to clean the internal components:

1. Plug the brewer into a grounded outlet. The touchscreen will illuminate.
2. Place a large mug (at least 12 oz.) on the drip tray.
3. Do NOT insert a K-Cup® pod.
4. Select the largest cup size (e.g., 12 oz.) from the touchscreen.
5. Press the 'Brew' button. Hot water will dispense.
6. Discard the hot water. The brewer is now ready for use.

Operation

Brewing a Beverage

1. Ensure the water reservoir is filled or the brewer is connected to a water line.
2. Lift the handle and insert a K-Cup® pod into the K-Cup® pod holder. Close the handle firmly.
3. Place a mug on the drip tray.
4. On the touchscreen, select your desired cup size (4, 6, 8, 10, or 12 oz.).
5. Optionally, press the 'Strong' button on the touchscreen for a bolder brew.
6. Press the 'Brew' button. The brewer will begin dispensing your beverage.

Power Saving Mode

The Keurig K-2500TM is designed with an energy-saving feature. After a period of inactivity, the brewer will enter a power-saving mode. To 'wake up' the brewer, simply touch the screen. It may take a moment for the brewer to heat up and be ready for brewing.

Maintenance

Regular Cleaning

Regular cleaning helps maintain the performance and taste of your beverages.

• Drip Tray: The drip tray can accumulate spills and should be emptied and cleaned regularly with warm, soapy water.
• Water Reservoir: Clean the water reservoir weekly with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly.
• Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the brewer with a damp, non-abrasive cloth.
• K-Cup® Pod Holder: The K-Cup® pod holder can be removed for cleaning. Wash with warm, soapy water and rinse.

Descaling

Over time, calcium deposits (scale) can build up in your brewer, affecting performance. Descale your brewer every 3-6 months, or more frequently if you have hard water.

1. Turn off and unplug the brewer.
2. Empty the water reservoir and remove any water filter.
3. Pour a full bottle of Keurig Descaling Solution into the water reservoir.
4. Fill the empty descaling solution bottle with water and pour it into the reservoir.
5. Plug the brewer back in and turn it on.
6. Place a large mug on the drip tray.
7. Perform a series of rinse brews (without a K-Cup® pod) until the 'Add Water' light illuminates.
8. Let the brewer stand for at least 30 minutes.
9. Discard the contents of the mug.
10. Repeat the rinse brew process until the reservoir is empty.
11. Rinse the water reservoir thoroughly and fill it with fresh water.
12. Perform at least 12 more rinse brews with fresh water to remove any residual descaling solution.
