SET-UP & OPERATION
Helpful Hints
1. Keep your Keurig Brewer turned “ON” all the time.
For a fresh cup of coffee or tea anytime you want, we suggest you keep your Keurig
Brewer turned “ON” all the time. The Brewer draws minimal power (approximately the
equivalent of a 60 Watt light bulb).
2. Turn Brewer “OFF” if you do not plan to use it for a week or longer.
Turn Brewer to “OFF” and unplug it if you do not plan to use it for a week or more. Drain
the water if you wish. Please follow the draining instructions in the Care & Maintenance
section on page 10 of this guide.
TURNING YOUR BREWER BACK ON.
When you turn it back on, a full tank of water will take approximately 8 – 10 minutes to
heat fully from room temperature. To brew your first cup sooner, do not completely fill the
tank. Less water in the tank will allow the water to heat up faster.
3. Plug the Brewer into its own outlet.
Plug the Brewer into its own 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.
4. Water varies from place to place.
Mineral and chlorine content in water varies from place to place. If you notice an
undesirable taste in your cup of coffee such as chlorine or other mineral taste, you should
consider using bottled water or water from a filtration system such as Brita
®
.
To remove chlorine taste or odor, you may also purchase a Charcoal Filter designed for
your Brewer on our website at www.keurig.com.
5. The Brew Button will only work when the Green “Ready” Light is flashing. After
closing the Brew Drawer, it will flash for 60 seconds, during which time you can press
the Brew Button. If you do not push the Brew Button in 60 seconds, the Brew Button will
be disabled to prevent accidental activation. Re-activate the Brew Button by opening and
closing the Brew Drawer.
6. Filling the Brewer
The Water Fill Lid is designed to close automatically to prevent hot water or steam from
escaping through a lid that may have been left accidentally open. If filling the Brewer is a
bit diifficult because it is positioned under a cabinet, simply grasp the Brewer by the lower
part of the front, side panels and pull toward you. The base is specially constructed to
make sliding the Brewer easy.
