Set-Up & First Brew
IMPORTANT: You cannot use your Keurig
brewer until it has been primed for its first use
as set forth below.
Priming your Brewer
1. Unwrap cord and plug the brewer into a
grounded outlet.
2. Ensure Brew/Drain is set to Brew.
3. Place a cup or mug on the Drip Tray Plate.
4. Remove the Water Reservoir from Brewer by
first removing Lid from Reservoir, then lifting
Reservoir straight up and away from Brewer
(may be tight). Rinse with fresh water.
5. Fill Water Reservoir with fresh water so
that the water level reaches the line just
below the top edge of the clear viewing
area. (Be careful not to over fill.)
6. Place Water Reservoir base into the left
side of the Brewer and be sure the
Water Reservoir Lock Tabs engage
with the Brewer. Replace Lid on Water Reservoir.
7. Press Power Button found on upper right
panel of the Brewer. The green light next to
the Power Button will become illuminated.
8. The green brew size selector lights on the
LED Control Center will flash to indicate the
Brewer needs to be primed. Make sure the
handle is all the way down before continuing.
Please note, a K-Cup
®
should not be used
for the Priming Sequence.
9. Press the flashing Brew Button.
10.The Brewer will automatically fill with water
(priming it) and then the water will be heat-
ed. This will take less than 5 minutes.
During the heating period the red light next
to 'HEATING' on the LED Control Center will
become illuminated. Once the water is heat-
ed, the red light will turn off.
11.Raise the handle, then press the flashing
back lit blue Brew Button to start a
cleansing brew, during which hot water will
flow into your cup or mug. Pour the hot
water into the sink.
12.The Brewer will take less than 20 seconds
to refill and reheat water between brews
during which time the red light next to
'HEATING' on the LED Control Center may
be illuminated. When the water has heated,
the red light will turn off.
13. The priming process is now complete and
you are ready to brew!

NOTE: If Brewer has been exposed to tempera-
tures below freezing, allow Brewer at least two
hours to reach room temperature before prim-
ing. A frozen or extremely cold brewer will not
prime properly and can cause damage.
NOTE: Following the brew, your Brewer will
fill in preparation for the next brew. The pump
will make a vibrating sound. This is normal.

NOTE: You may get less coffee or tea in your
cup during your next brew. We recommend
that you perform a cleansing brew without a
K-Cup

after a terminated brew or when a prime
sequence has been completed. Then your
NEXT brew will be the proper selected volume.
