Brew Your First Cup

Place Mug & Pod

Place a mug on the drip tray. If using a travel mug, remove the drip tray and place the mug on the drip tray base. Lift the handle and place a K-Cup® pod in the K-Cup® pod holder. Lower the handle completely to close the lid.
Do not remove the foil lid on the K-Cup® pod.

Brew & Enjoy!

HOT
The three brew size buttons will blink. Select your brew size, then press the blinking BREW button. The BREW button will remain illuminated while brewing. Brewing is complete when the buttons are no longer illuminated. Lift the handle and dispose of the K-Cup® pod.

BREW OVER ICE
The BREW OVER ICE button will blink. Select BREW OVER ICE button, then press the blinking BREW button. The BREW button will remain illuminated while brewing. Brewing is complete when 6oz has been dispensed and the buttons are no longer illuminated. Lift the handle and dispose of the K-Cup® pod.

While brewing, there is extremely hot water in the K-Cup® pod holder. To avoid injury, do not lift the handle during the brewing process.

warning NOTE: For best results, we recommend one time use with our K-Cup® pods. A twice-brewed pod won't provide full flavor and if the pod holder isn't lined up with the original holes it can cause an overflow of water and coffee grounds.

Brewer Features

BREW OVER ICE: For iced beverages fill a large plastic tumbler with ice (do not use glass). Insert any K-Cup® pod, then press the BREW

OVER ICE button, followed by BREW button. A 6oz beverage will be dispensed that starts brewing hotter to help extract full flavor, then cools down for less ice melt and a vibrant balanced flavor.

FAST & FRESH-BREWED: Coffee made in minutes.

BACK-TO-BACK BREWING: Immediately brew a second cup, no need to wait for reheating.

TRAVEL MUG FRIENDLY: Accommodates travel mugs up to 7" tall.

MAINTENANCE ALERT: Reminds you to descale after every 250 brews.

AUTO OFF: Automatically turns your brewer off 5 minutes after the last brew for energy savings.

HIGH ALTITUDE: To ensure your brewer works properly at higher altitudes (5,000 feet), enable the High Altitude setting by pressing and holding the BREW button and 8oz buttons for 3 seconds.

Caring For Your Brewer

Regular cleaning keeps your brewer running smoothly. Always be sure to turn off and unplug your brewer before cleaning.

Brewer Exterior

Keep your Keurig® brewer looking its best by cleaning the exterior from time to time. Just clean with a damp, soapy, lint-free, non-abrasive cloth. Never immerse the brewer in water or other liquids.

Drip Tray

The drip tray can hold up to 8 ounces of overflow and should be emptied and cleaned occasionally. To remove, slide it toward you, keeping it level to avoid spilling. Rinse and clean with a damp, soapy, lint-free, non-abrasive cloth.

Water Reservoir

The water reservoir should be cleaned periodically by wiping the inside of the reservoir and underside of the lid with a damp, non-abrasive, lint free cloth. Do not dry the inside of the water reservoir with a cloth as lint may remain. Allow the reservoir to dry completely.

K-Cup® Pod Holder

To remove the K-Cup® pod holder from the brewer, lift the handle and grasp the top of the K-Cup® pod holder with one hand while pushing up on the bottom of the K-Cup® pod holder from underneath with the other until it releases. After cleaning, align the K-Cup® pod holder with the opening using the two front ribs as a guide and snap into place from the top.

There are sharp needles that puncture the K-Cup® pod above the K-Cup® pod holder and in the bottom of the K-Cup® pod holder. To avoid risk of injury, do not put your fingers in the K-Cup® pod holder.

warning NOTE: Always remove and dispose of the used K-Cup® pod after brewing.

Funnel

Washing the funnel ensures a fresh beverage experience. The funnel should be washed regularly and can be removed from the K-Cup® pod holder by pulling on it until it pops off. To replace it, orient the snaps to the indent and just snap it back onto the K-Cup® pod holder.

Exit Needle

Remove the pod holder assembly and detach the funnel. Locate the exit needle on the inside bottom of the K-Cup® pod holder. Insert a straightened paper clip into the exit needle to loosen any coffee grounds.

Entrance Needle

Lift the brewer handle and locate the entrance needle on the underside of the lid. To clean both holes in the needle, hold the brewer handle in the upward position and with your other hand, carefully insert a straightened paper clip into both holes. Gently move it around to loosen any coffee grounds. Lower the handle completely and run two water-only brew cycles. Do not insert a K-Cup® pod.

information TIP: Refer to support.keurig.com for video instructions on cleaning the entrance/exit needles.

Regular Maintenance

For great-tasting coffee, keep your brewer running at peak performance by following the recommended maintenance schedule:

Frequency	Product	Benefit
Weekly	Keurig® Rinse Pods	Safe and effective-helps remove residue and oils from your coffee maker's needles and pod holder
Every 2 Months	Keurig® Water Filters	Change your water filter every two months to help remove impurities from water for great tasting coffee
Every 3 Months or when the Descale notification turns on*	Keurig® Descale Solutions	Helps eliminate mineral build up to preserve the long-term health of your coffee maker

*To turn off Descale notification, follow the full descaling procedure as outlined in the Use & Care Guide

Descaling Your Brewer

Before you begin, you will need a large ceramic mug, fresh water, Keurig® Descaling Solution, and access to a sink. Do not use a paper cup. Ensure that there is no beverage pod in the K-Cup® pod holder. Please allow approximately 15-20 minutes for the descaling procedure.

STEP 1: Descaling Solution Rinse

Pour the entire bottle of Keurig® Descale Solution into an emptied water reservoir. Then, fill the empty bottle with water and pour into the water reservoir. Do not insert a K-Cup® pod.

Place a large mug on the drip tray. To activate Descale Mode, begin with the brewer powered off by pressing and holding BREW OVER ICE button, then press and hold the 8oz and 12oz buttons together for 3 seconds until the DESCALE light turns solid.

When BREW button begins flashing, press the BREW button to start the cleansing rinse brew. Pour the hot liquid into the sink. Repeat the cleansing rinse process until the ADD WATER light illuminates.

STEP 2: Rest & Rinse

Empty the water reservoir and refill to the MAX fill line with fresh water.

STEP 3: Fresh Water Rinse

Press the BREW button once it begins flashing. Repeat this process until the ADD WATER light illuminates. The brewer will now exit Descale Mode and will be ready for use!

warning NOTE: The cleaning action of Keurig® Descaling Solution may result in a "foam" dispensed from the brewer. This is natural, as the solution is reacting with the scale inside. For a brewer that is heavily scaled, the brewer may not fill properly after the descaler is added. If this occurs, you may see only a small or no output dispensed, followed by the sound of air blowing out. If this occurs:

Turn off and unplug the brewer.
If there is Keurig® Descaling Solution in the water reservoir, discard the contents, rinse the water reservoir thoroughly and refill with water
Plug the brewer back in, power on, and repeat the Step 3 Fresh Water Rinse cycle. The brewer should begin to function normally as the solution is rinsed out and the scale is removed. If problem persists, allow brewer to sit unplugged for at least 30 minutes before continuing with the rinse.

Troubleshooting

Grounds in Your Coffee

Grounds may have gathered in the exit or entrance needles and can be cleaned using a straightened paper clip or similar tool.

Clean the exit needle of the K-Cup® pod holder. Refer to the Exit Needle care instructions.
Clean the brewer entrance needle. Refer to the Entrance Needle care instructions.

Brewer Will Not Brew

A minimum of 6oz of water is required to brew. Add an additional 2oz of water to the reservoir to ensure the minimum fill level has been met, then press the BREW button. Repeat until the brewer begins to dispense.

Brewing a Partial Cup

Power the brewer off. Press and hold theBREW button and 12oz button for 5 seconds until water starts dispensing. Then release and let the water purge. Discard the contents into the sink. Press the POWER button to restart.
The exit needle may be clogged. Refer to the Exit Needle care instructions.
Clean the K-Cup® Pod Holder, see K-Cup® Pod Holder care instructions.
The brewer may need to be descaled. If you have repeated the descale procedure on your brewer two times and it is still only brewing a partial cup, contact Customer Service.

Brewer Does Not Have Power or Shuts Off

Make sure that the power button has been turned on.
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.
For energy savings, the brewer automatically turns off 5 minutes after the last brew. Press the power button to restart.
If the brewer still doesn't have power, contact Customer Service.

Helpful Hints

Water quality varies greatly. If you notice an undesirable taste in your beverage (such as chlorine or mineral tastes), we recommend using bottled or filtered water. Do not use distilled water.

Service

Beyond these recommended cleaning and maintenance procedures, this brewer is not user serviceable.

Storage

Empty the water reservoir before storing or transporting and take care to ensure that you store your brewer in a safe and frost-free environment. When you prepare to use it after storage, we recommend rinsing the water reservoir with fresh water and descaling the brewer as detailed in the Descaling your Brewer section.

If you plan to move your brewer to a different location, turn the brewer off, unplug it, and empty the water reservoir. If your brewer has been in an environment below freezing, please be sure to let it warm to room temperature for at least 2 hours before using.
