1. Unpack the Brewer: Carefully remove all packaging materials from the box. Ensure all components are present, including the brewer, drip tray, and water reservoir.
2. Place the Brewer: Position the brewer on a stable, flat surface. Ensure there is adequate space around the unit for ventilation and access to the water reservoir.
3. Clean the Water Reservoir: Before first use, wash the water reservoir and lid with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly.
4. Fill the Water Reservoir: Fill the water reservoir with fresh, filtered water up to the MAX fill line. Place the reservoir back onto the brewer, ensuring it is securely seated.
5. Plug In: Plug the brewer into a grounded outlet. The power button will illuminate.
6. Initial Cleansing Brew: Place a large mug on the drip tray. Lift and lower the brewer handle without inserting a K-Cup pod. Press the 8 oz. brew button. The brewer will dispense hot water. Discard the hot water. This process primes the brewer and cleanses it of any manufacturing residue.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your Keurig K-1550:

• Cleaning the Drip Tray: The drip tray can accumulate spills. Remove it regularly and wash with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
• Cleaning the K-Cup Pod Holder: The K-Cup pod holder can be removed for cleaning. Wash with warm, soapy water and rinse. Ensure the exit needle is clear of any coffee grounds.
• Cleaning the Water Reservoir: Periodically clean the water reservoir with warm, soapy water. For thorough cleaning, a soft brush can be used. Rinse well to remove any soap residue.
