Installation Guide

Initial Setup Requirements:

  • Clean, dry surface
  • Access to electrical outlet
  • Fresh water source
  • Keurig® 2.0 compatible pods
  • Descale solution (for maintenance)

Step-by-Step Setup

  1. Unpack and Position: Remove all packaging materials and place brewer on a level, stable surface away from heat sources.
  2. Water Reservoir: Fill the removable water reservoir with fresh, cold water. Do not exceed MAX fill line.
  3. Power Connection: Plug the brewer into a grounded 120V electrical outlet. Do not use extension cords.
  4. Initial Priming: The brewer will automatically prime on first use. This may take 3-5 minutes.
