Set-up
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, we suggest you keep
your Brewer turned “ON” all the time. However, the Brewer is fully
programmable so you can set it to turn on and off automatically to
match your schedule. Or, if you prefer, set the Brewer to
automatically turn off after a period of time. Follow the simple
instructions on pages 9–10 to make using the Brewer convenient
for you.
2. For the best tasting gourmet coffee, tea or hot cocoa, Keurig
recommends using bottled water or the Keurig® Water Filter Starter
Kit (available at www.keurig.com). Water quality varies from place
to place. If you notice an undesirable taste in your cup of coffee,
such as chlorine or other mineral tastes, we recommend you
consider using bottled water or water from a filtration system.
3. Customize the Size, Flavor & Brew That’s Perfect for You.™ With
the choice of over 200 varieties of K-Cups and 5 brew sizes (Extra-
Small Cup-3.25 oz., Small Cup-5.25 oz., Small Mug-7.25 oz., Large
Mug-9.25 oz., and Travel Mug-11.25 oz.) your Keurig® Brewer
gives you endless options to customize the size, flavor and brew
that’s perfect for you. For a strong, intense cup, select an Extra
Bold K-Cup® (with up to 30% more ground coffee than regular
varieties) and brew the size that’s right for you. The smaller the
brew size, the more intense flavor in your cup. The larger the brew
size, the less intense flavor in your cup.
4. Plug Brewer into its own grounded outlet. If the electric circuit is
overloaded with other appliances, your Brewer may not function
properly. The Brewer should be operated on its own circuit,
separate from other appliances.
5. Brewing into a travel mug. To brew into a travel mug, simply
remove the Drip Tray Assembly and place the travel mug on the
Drip Tray Base.
6. De-scale Brewer regularly. Please see page 13 for instructions.
Unpacking Instructions
1. Place Brewer box on a large steady surface (such as a table or
countertop) or on the floor. Open the box.
2. Remove enclosed literature.
3. Turn the box on its side with front of box face down.
4. Reach into the box and grasp the plastic bag that contains the
Brewer.
5. Carefully pull the plastic bag (and packaging materials) toward you
and out of the box. The Brewer will still be encased in the polyfoam
and be on its side. The Water Reservoir Assembly will be encased
on the opposite side of the polyfoam.
6. Before removing the Brewer from the polyfoam packaging material,
carefully lift the Water Reservoir Assembly out of the polyfoam and
place it upright on a flat, steady surface.
7. Once the Water Reservoir Assembly is unpacked, remove the top
polyfoam packaging material.
8. Carefully lift Brewer off of the bottom polyfoam and place it upright
on a flat, steady surface.
9. Lift plastic bag off of Brewer and Water Reservoir Assembly.
10. Record the serial number for this Brewer on page 3 of this guide.
The serial number can be found on the bottom of the Brewer box or
on the Brewer behind the Drip Tray (when removed).
11. Place the Brewer upright on a flat, steady surface. Remove the
tape from the Water Reservoir.
We recommend you save all packing materials in case future shipping
of the product is necessary.
WARNING:
Keep all plastic bags away from children.

SECTION 3
Cleaning & Maintenance
Cleaning External Parts
Regular cleaning of the Brewer’s external components is recommended.
1. Never immerse the Brewer in water or other liquids. The Housing
and other external components may be cleaned with a soapy, damp,
non-abrasive cloth.
2. The Drip Tray can accumulate up to 18 ounces of overflow. The
Drip Tray and Drip Tray Plate should be periodically inspected and
rinsed clean. To remove the Drip Tray Assembly, simply slide it toward
you, keeping it level at all times to avoid spilling. The Drip Tray and
Drip Tray Plate should not be placed in the dishwasher. They should
be cleaned with a damp, soapy, non-abrasive cloth and rinsed
thoroughly.
Cleaning the K-Cup Holder Assembly
1. Cleaning the Parts —The K-Cup Holder Assembly can be placed
onto the top shelf of a dishwasher. NOTE: Use low temperature
cycles in the dishwasher. To remove from the Brewer, open the
cover by lifting the Handle. Grasp the top of the K-Cup Holder with
one hand while pushing up on the bottom of the K-Cup® Holder
from underneath with the other until it releases. After cleaning, align
the K-Cup Holder with the opening using the two front ribs as a
guide, and snap into place from the top.
2. Cleaning the Funnel —The Funnel can
be removed from the K-Cup® Holder by pulling on
it until it pops off (fig. 18). The Funnel is
dishwasher safe. To replace it, just snap it back
onto the K-Cup Holder Assembly.
3. Cleaning the Exit Needle —The Exit
Needle is located on the inside bottom of the K-
Cup Holder Assembly. Should a clog arise due to
coffee grinds, it can be cleaned using a paper clip
or similar tool. Remove K-Cup Holder assembly
and detach Funnel. Insert the paper clip (as shown
in fig. 18) into the Needle to loosen the clog and
push it out. The K-Cup Holder is dishwasher safe.
13
CAUTION: There are sharp needles that puncture the K-Cup above the K-
Cup Holder and in the bottom of the K-Cup Holder. To avoid risk of injury,
do not put your fingers in the K-Cup Assembly Housing.
Cleaning the Water Reservoir & Water Reservoir Lid
The Water Reservoir Lid or Water Reservoir should not be put into the
dishwasher. They should be cleaned with a damp, soapy, non-abrasive cloth
and rinsed thoroughly. Do not dry the inside of the Water Reservoir with a
cloth as lint may remain.
CAUTION: Please rinse the Water Reservoir thoroughly after cleaning to ensure
that no cleaners or cleaning solutions remain in this area as they may contaminate
the water supply in the Brewer.
De-Scaling Your Brewer
Mineral content in water varies from place to place. Depending on the
mineral content of the water in your area, calcium deposits or scale may
build up in your Brewer. Scale is non-toxic, but left unattended, it can hinder
Brewer performance. De-scaling your Brewer helps maintain the heating
element and other internal parts of the Brewer that come in contact with
water.
The Brewer should be de-scaled every 3-6 months to ensure optimal
performance. It is possible for calcium deposits to build up faster, making it
necessary to de-scale more often.
This Brewer is equipped with sensors to
detect when scale buildup is interfering
with the performance of the Brewer.
When this is detected, “DE-SCALE” will
be displayed on the Touch Screen (fig.
19). However, even if “DE-SCALE” is
not displayed, you should continue to
de-scale your Brewer every 3-6 months.
You should promptly de-scale if “DE-
SCALE” is displayed on the Touch
Screen. Properly follow the de-scaling
procedure described.
NOTE: The Brewer will continue to function even when “DE-SCALE” is displayed.
However, if you do not de-scale soon after it is displayed; continued scale buildup
could damage the Brewer. If this occurs, “DE-SCALE” will begin to blink to alert
you to the potential damage to the Brewer if you do not de-scale immediately.
De-Scaling Instructions
A. PREPARE
Step 1: Make sure you have at least 48 ounces of undiluted white vinegar
on hand. You will also need an empty sink and a large ceramic mug
(do not use a paper cup).
Step 2: Empty the water in the Water Reservoir.
Step 3: Disable “Auto Off” features.
B. FILL AND CLEAN
Step 1: Pour the vinegar into the Water Reservoir to fill it.
Step 2: Place a large mug on the Drip Tray Plate and run a water brew
cycle. DO NOT USE A K-CUP, just select the Large Mug brew size.
Pour the contents of the large mug into the sink.
Step 3: Repeat the brew process 3 times.
Step 4: Now let the Brewer stand for at least 4 hours while still on.
C. RINSE
Step 1: Ensure the Water Reservoir is filled with fresh water.
Step 2: Place a large mug on the Drip Tray Plate and run a water brew
cycle. Pour the contents of the large mug into the sink.
Step 3: Repeat brew process until the Water Reservoir is empty.
Step 4: You may need to perform additional water brew cycles if you notice
any residual taste.
NOTE: If “DE-SCALE” is still displayed on the Touch Screen after completing the
procedure, repeat the de-scaling procedure above.
Service
Beyond these recommended cleaning and maintenance procedures this
Brewer is not user serviceable. For service, please refer to the Warranty
section of this guide.
Storage
Empty the Water Reservoir before storing, and take care to ensure that you store your
Brewer in a safe and frost free environment. Please be sure to store your Brewer in its
upright position to avoid water leakage from the inner tank. If you store the Brewer in a
cold environment, you run the risk of water freezing inside the Brewer and causing
damage. When you prepare to use it after storage, we recommend rinsing the Water
