WARNING! Ensure the brewer is on a stable, level surface away from heat sources and sinks. Do not immerse the brewer, cord, or plug in water.

First-Time Use

Prime the brewing system before first use.

1. With the brewer powered on and water reservoir filled, lift and close the handle without a K-Cup pod.

Brewing Hot Coffee

For optimal hot beverage preparation.

1. Press POWER to turn brewer on. Ensure water reservoir is filled.
2. Lift the handle and insert your chosen K-Cup pod. Close the handle firmly.
3. Place a mug (at least as large as your selected brew size) on the drip tray.
4. Select your desired brew size (6, 8, 10, or 12 oz).
5. For a stronger cup, press the STRONG button (optional).
6. Press the illuminated brew button. Brewing will begin.
7. When brewing is complete, lift the handle to eject the used K-Cup pod into the storage compartment.

Tip: Preheat your mug by running a water-only brew cycle into it first for a hotter beverage.

Brewing Iced Coffee

The ICED setting brews a stronger, concentrated amount over ice to prevent dilution.

1. Fill a glass or tumbler (16 oz or larger) with ice to the top.
2. Press POWER to turn brewer on.
3. Insert an iced coffee or regular K-Cup pod and close the handle.
4. Place the ice-filled glass on the drip tray (adjust tray height if needed).
5. Press the ICED button (light will illuminate). The brewer defaults to the optimal brew size for iced drinks.
6. Press the illuminated brew button. The brewer will dispense the concentrated brew over the ice.
7. Stir and enjoy. Add milk or sweetener as desired.

WARNING! Do not brew directly into an empty glass and then add ice, as this will result in a weak, watered-down drink. Always brew over ice using the ICED setting.

Maintenance & Descaling

Regular descaling is essential for performance and longevity. The red DESCALING light will indicate when needed (approx. every 3-6 months).

1. Purchase Keurig Descaling Solution or a vinegar solution (white vinegar is not recommended by Keurig).
2. Empty and rinse the water reservoir. Fill it with 16 oz of descaling solution and 16 oz of water.
3. Place a large mug (at least 20 oz) on the drip tray.
4. With the brewer on, lift and close the handle WITHOUT a K-Cup pod.
5. Press the 12 oz brew button. Let the solution dispense halfway, then pause for 30 minutes.
6. After the pause, continue dispensing until the reservoir is empty. Discard the liquid.
7. Rinse the reservoir thoroughly and fill with fresh water. Run multiple water-only brew cycles (at least 12) until the reservoir is empty to rinse the system.
8. The descale light will turn off after the process is complete.

Care & Cleaning

Unplug the brewer before cleaning. Wipe exterior with a damp, soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

Drip Tray & K-Cup Pod Holder: Remove and wash with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly before replacing.
