Setup

1. Unpacking and Initial Setup: Remove all packing tape and materials from the coffee maker. Place the coffee maker on a stable, level surface.
2. Water Reservoir Preparation: Remove the water reservoir from the back of the brewer. Wash the reservoir and lid with warm, soapy water, then rinse thoroughly. Fill the reservoir with fresh water up to the MAX fill line. Place the reservoir back onto the brewer, ensuring it is seated properly.
3. First Brew Cycle (Cleansing): Place a large mug (10 oz. or larger) on the drip tray. Lift and lower the brewer handle without inserting a K-Cup pod. Press the power button to turn on the brewer. The brew size buttons will flash. Select the 8 oz. brew size button. The cleansing brew will begin. Once complete, discard the hot water. The brewer is now ready for use.

Operating Instructions

1. Add Water: Ensure the water reservoir is filled with fresh water. The "Add Water" indicator light will illuminate if the water level is low.
2. Place Mug: Place a mug on the drip tray.
3. Insert K-Cup Pod: Lift the brewer handle. Place a K-Cup pod in the K-Cup pod holder. Lower the handle completely to close the lid. The brew size buttons will begin to flash.
4. Select Brew Size: Choose your desired brew size (6, 8, or 10 oz.) from the illuminated buttons. For a stronger brew, select the 6 oz. option.
5. Brew: The brewing process will begin automatically. The brew size button will remain illuminated during brewing and turn off once complete.
6. Enjoy: Carefully remove your freshly brewed beverage. Lift the handle, remove and discard the used K-Cup pod.
7. Hot Water Dispense: To dispense hot water without a K-Cup pod, simply lift and lower the brewer handle (without a pod) and select your desired cup size.

Maintenance

• Daily Cleaning:
  • Drip Tray: The drip tray can accumulate up to 7.0 oz. of overflow. It should be emptied and cleaned regularly. Remove the drip tray, separate the components, wash with warm, soapy water, rinse, and dry.
  • K-Cup Pod Holder: The K-Cup pod holder can be removed for cleaning. Wash with warm, soapy water, rinse, and dry. Ensure the exit needle is clear of any coffee grounds.
• Descaling: Over time, calcium deposits (scale) can build up in your coffee maker. Descaling is essential to maintain optimal performance. The descaling frequency depends on the mineral content of your water.
  • Use a Keurig descaling solution or a vinegar solution (consult the full user manual for specific instructions and ratios).
  • Perform several cleansing brews with plain water after descaling to ensure all solution is flushed from the system.

Troubleshooting

• Coffee Not Brewing:
  • Ensure the water reservoir is filled and properly seated.
  • Check that the K-Cup pod is correctly inserted and the handle is fully lowered.
  • Verify the brewer is powered on and the brew size button is selected.
• Weak Coffee:
  • Try using a smaller brew size (e.g., 6 oz.) for a stronger concentration.
  • Consider using a bolder roast K-Cup pod.
• Water Leaking:
  • Ensure the water reservoir is securely in place and not overfilled.
  • Check the drip tray for proper seating.
• Machine Not Turning On:
  • Verify the power cord is securely plugged into a grounded outlet.
  • Check if the power outlet is functional by plugging in another appliance.
