Important Safeguards

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

1. Read all instructions before using.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. 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 an accessory not approved for use with this appliance may cause injuries.
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 electric shock, do not immerse cords, plugs, or the appliance in water or any other liquid.
8. Do not overfill the Water Reservoir with water.
9. Use only water in this appliance! Do not put any other liquids or foods in the Water Reservoir except as instructed in the Cleaning Instructions in this guide.
10. Unplug the coffee brewer before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts 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 Service for assistance.
13. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
14. To disconnect, press and release the Power Button on the back of the Brewer to 'OFF' status and then remove the plug from the wall outlet.
15. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
16. Do not lift the Handle to open the Lid of the Brewer while brewing is in progress.
17. Always keep the Water Reservoir Cover on the Water Reservoir 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 short 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.

Section 1: Set-Up & Operation

Helpful Hints

1. Keep your Brewer turned 'ON' at all times. To brew a fresh cup of coffee, tea or hot cocoa anytime you want, Keurig suggests keeping the Brewer turned 'ON' all the time. The Brewer is programmable for automatic on/off or timed shut-off. Refer to pages 9 and 10 for programming instructions.
2. For the best tasting gourmet coffee, tea or hot cocoa, Keurig recommends using bottled or filtered water. Water quality varies; if your coffee tastes undesirable due to chlorine or minerals, consider bottled water or a filtration system.
3. Choose from four serving sizes. Keurig Brewers offer five size options: a stronger small cup (5.25 oz.), a small mug (7.25 oz.), a large mug (9.25 oz.), a travel mug (11.25 oz.), and an iced beverage setting (3.25 oz.). Follow instructions on page 7.

NOTE: For a stronger tasting cup of coffee, try Keurig's Extra Bold K-Cups, which contain 30% more ground coffee. Visit www.keurig.com for over 200 varieties.

4. Plug Brewer into its own grounded outlet. Overloading a circuit with other appliances may prevent proper function. The Brewer should be on its own circuit, separate from other appliances.
5. Brewing into a travel mug. Remove the Drip Tray Assembly and place the travel mug on the Drip Tray Base.

Unpacking Instructions

1. Place the Brewer box on a large steady surface (table, countertop, or floor) and open it.
2. Remove the Quick Start Guide, Use & Care Guide, and other literature.
3. Remove the package of complimentary K-Cup portion packs.
4. Turn the box on its side with the front facing down.
5. Reach into the box and grasp the plastic bag containing the Brewer.
6. Carefully pull the plastic bag (and packaging materials) out of the box. The Brewer will still be encased in polyfoam and on its side.
7. Remove the top polyfoam packaging material.
8. Carefully lift the Brewer off the bottom polyfoam and place it upright on a flat, steady surface.
9. Lift the plastic bag off the Brewer.
10. Carefully turn the Brewer on its side and record the Serial Number (found on a white sticker on the bottom of the Brewer) on page 3. The Serial Number is also on the Brewer box.
