USE & CARE GUIDE
K600
1

When using electrical appliances, basic
safety precautions should be followed,
including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles
and knobs when available.
3. This appliance must be properly
installed and located in accordance
with these instructions before it
is used.
4. The use of accessory attachments
not recommended by the appliance
manufacturer may result in fire,
electrical shock, or injury to persons.
5. Do not place on or near a hot gas or
electric burner, or in a heated oven.
6. Do not use outdoors.
7. To protect against fire, electric shock,
and injury do not immerse cords, plugs,
or the appliance in water or any other
liquid.
8. Do not fill the Water Reservoir above
the MAX FILL line.
9. Use only water in this appliance! Do
not put any other liquids or foods in the
Water Reservoir except as instructed in
the cleaning instructions in this guide.
10. Turn off and unplug the brewer before
cleaning or maintenance. Allow to cool
before putting on or taking off parts
and before cleaning the appliance.
11. For best operation, plug the appliance
into its own electrical outlet on a
dedicated circuit to prevent flickering
of lights, blowing of fuses, or tripping a
circuit breaker.
12. Do not operate any appliance with
a damaged Power Cord or plug, or
after the appliance malfunctions or
is damaged in any manner. Contact
Keurig Customer Service to report
any malfunction of or damage to the
brewer.
13. Do not let the Power Cord hang over
the edge of the table or counter, or
touch hot surfaces.
14. To disconnect, press the Power Button
on the brewer to “OFF” status and
then remove the plug from the wall
outlet.
15. Close supervision is necessary when
any appliance is used by or near
children.
16. Do not lift the brewer Handle while
brewing is in progress.
17. Always keep the Flip-Top Reservoir Lid
on the Water Reservoir unless you are
refilling it.
18. This appliance is equipped with a
Power Cord that has a grounding wire
with a grounding plug. The appliance
must be grounded using a 3-hole
properly grounded outlet. In the event
of an electrical short circuit, grounding
reduces the risk of electrical shock.
19. If the outlet is a standard 2-prong wall
outlet, it is your personal responsibility
and obligation to have it replaced
with a properly grounded 3-prong wall
outlet.
20. Do not, under any circumstances, cut or
remove the third (ground) prong from
the Power Cord or use an adapter.
21. Consult a qualified electrician if
the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if doubt
exists as to whether the appliance is
properly grounded.
22. Do not use the appliance for other
than its intended use.
23. Remove the shipping disk before
brewing.
CAUTION: There are three sharp needles
that puncture pods, two above the Pod
Holder and the other in the bottom of
the Pod Holder. To avoid risk of injury, do
not put your fingers in the Pod Holder
Assembly.
CAUTION: There is extremely hot water in
the Pod Holder during the brew process.
To avoid risk of injury, do not lift the Handle
or open the Pod Holder Assembly during
the brewing process.
CAUTION: Do not fill above the MAX FILL
line. If you fill the Water Reservoir above
this point, you may occasionally get a
larger brew than you selected for your
first brew of the day. If you prefer to have
your Water Reservoir filled to the top, we
recommend you use a large mug for your
first brew of the day to avoid any risk of
overflow.
CAUTION: Please always keep the brewer
in its upright position to avoid potential
injury and/or damage to your brewer.
CAUTION: Very hot liquid. Adult
supervision required.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS:
A short power supply cord is provided to
reduce the risk of becoming entangled
in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer
detachable power-supply cords or
extension cords are available and may
be used if care is exercised in their use. If
an extension cord is used, (1) the marked
electrical rating of the cord set or extension
cord should be at least as great as the
electrical rating of the appliance; (2) the
cord should be arranged so that it will not
drape over the countertop or tabletop
where it can be pulled on by children or
tripped over unintentionally; and (3) the
extension cord must include a 3-prong
grounding plug.
THIS PRODUCT IS FOR HOUSEHOLD
USE ONLY.

including lead, which is known
to the state of California to cause
cancer, birth defects, or other
reproductive harm.

This device complies with Part 15 of FCC
Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions: (1) this device may not cause
interference, and (2) this device must accept
any interference, including interference that
may cause undesired operation of this device.
The available scientific evidence does
not show that any health problems are
associated with using low power wireless
devices*. There is no proof, however, that
these low power wireless devices are
absolutely safe. Low power wireless devices
emit low levels of radiofrequency energy (RF)
in the microwave range while being used.
Whereas high levels of RF can produce health
effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low-
level RF does not produce heating effects
and therefore causes no known adverse
health effects. Many studies of low-level
RF exposures have not found any biological
effects. Some studies have suggested that
some biological effects might occur, but
such findings have not been confirmed by
additional research. TypeYD has been tested
and found to comply with FCC/IC radiation
exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment and meets the FCC radio
frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines.
Contains FCC ID: VPYLBYD
FCC CAUTION
Changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority
to operate the equipment. This transmitter
must not be co-located or operated in
conjunction with any other antenna or

WATER FILTER ALERT
Your brewer is designed to deliver the perfect cup time after time, year after year. To keep
it working at peak performance, your Keurig®Plus Series brewer will let you know when it
needs a little attention.
TIME TO REPLACE THE KEURIG®WATER FILTER (VISIT KEURIG.COM TO PURCHASE)
Your brewer will indicate “Time to replace the Water Filter.” after every 1,000 ounces
or two months. Once you’ve replaced the Keurig®Water Filter, press YES to reset the
WATER FILTER REMINDER notices.
KEURIG®CARAFE OPERATION
The unique Keurig®Carafe was specifically designed for use with the Keurig®Plus Series
brewer. To connect the Keurig®Carafe to the brewer, make sure the Keurig®Carafe is
securely inserted into the brewer. The Keurig®Plus Series brewer contains a sensory system
that determines when the Keurig®Carafe is in place and it is safe to begin brewing. If the
Keurig®Carafe is not in place or is incorrectly inserted, the brewing process will not begin.
If the Keurig®Carafe is removed during brewing, brewing will stop.
To maintain the ideal combination of taste, freshness, and temperature, we recommend
preheating the Keurig®Carafe. To preheat the Keurig®Carafe, fill it with hot water for
approximately 30 seconds and then pour out entirely prior to placing the Keurig®Carafe
into the brewer.
CAUTION:
• Make sure the Keurig®Carafe is empty before each use.
• After brewing, the Keurig®Carafe will contain extremely hot liquid. Take care when
pouring from the Keurig®Carafe. Never place your hand over the Keurig®Carafe
where hot steam is venting. Never allow children to use the Keurig®Carafe or operate

2 |TIPS & MAINTENANCE
CARING FOR YOUR BREWER
DESCALING YOUR BREWER
Before you begin, you will need a large mug, fresh water, Keurig®Descaling Solution, and
access to a sink. Do not use a paper cup.
• Empty the water from the Water Reservoir. If there is a Keurig®Water Filter, remove
and set aside.
STEP 1: FIRST DESCALING SOLUTION RINSE
• Press and hold the Power Button to power the brewer off.
• Pour the entire bottle of Keurig®Descaling Solution into the Water Reservoir. Then
fill the empty bottle with water and pour into the Water Reservoir. Press and hold
the Power Button to turn the brewer back on.
• Place a large mug on the Drip Tray and run a cleansing brew by lifting and lowering
the Handle, selecting a 10 ounce Brew Size and pressing the Brew Button. The brewer
will stop dispensing after 10 ounces. Do not use a Keurig brand pod. Pour the contents
of the mug into the sink.

TIME TO DESCALE THE BREWER
Depending on the mineral content of your water, calcium deposits or scale may build
up in your brewer, this is why we recommend using bottled or filtered water. Scale is non-
toxic but if left unattended can hinder brewer performance. Regularly descaling your brewer
every three to six months helps maintain the heating element, and other internal parts that
come in contact with water. Calcium deposits may build up faster, making it necessary to
descale more often.
You should promptly descale when the Touch-Screen indicates “Time to descale the brewer!”
However, even if this is not indicated, you should continue to descale your brewer every three
to six months.
SORRY, BREW INTERRUPTED
Your brewer will indicate “Sorry, brew interrupted” if there is a problem brewing. To clear the
problem, slowly lift and lower the Handle, remove the pod, and attempt a cleansing brew
(see page 11).
SORRY, THERE IS A PROBLEM
If the brewer indicates “Sorry, there is a problem” coffee grounds may be stuck in the
Entrance Needle. To release the clogged Needle, use the Brewer Maintenance Accessory
included with your brewer. Refer to the instructions on page 30 or the guide included with
the Accessory.
Sorry, brew interrupted.
CAUTION: WATER UNDER PRESSURE
Slowly open handle, remove pod, and lower
handle. Perform Needle Maintenance
if problem persists.

RECYCLING K-MUG® AND K-CARAFE® PODS
5For more information visit
www.KeurigRecycling.com
The plastic cups of K-Mug®and K-Carafe®
pods can be recycled wherever #5 plastic is
accepted. #5 plastic may not be recyclable
in your community today, so please check
locally with your municipality or waste
hauler, or visit KeurigRecycling.com for
more information.
1. Once brewing is complete, lift the Handle
and carefully remove the K-Mug® or
K-Carafe®pod by holding the outer rim.
CAUTION: The K-Mug® or K-Carafe®pod will be hot after brewing.
Use caution when removing. Allow it to cool completely
before handling.
3. Once separated, discard the lid and the
attached filter. Recycle the pod’s plastic
cup wherever #5 plastic is accepted.
2. Once cool, separate the lid and filter
from the cup. The filter will adhere to
the lid.
STEP 2: SECOND DESCALING SOLUTION RINSE
• Repeat the cleansing brew process until the Touch-Screen indicates “More Water Please.”
Let the brewer stand for at least 30 minutes while still on.
• After 30 minutes, discard any residual solution and rinse the Water Reservoir thoroughly.
STEP 3: FRESH WATER RINSE
• Ensure the Water Reservoir is filled with fresh water to and not beyond the MAX FILL line.
• Place a large mug on the Drip Tray and run a cleansing brew. Pour the contents of the mug
into the sink.
• Repeat the cleansing brew process at least 12 times. You may need to refill the Water
Reservoir at least one time during this process.
NOTE: If “Time to descale the brewer!” is still indicated after completing the procedure, repeat the descaling procedure above.
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 bottled or filtered water.
• Plug the brewer back in, power on, and repeat STEP 3: FRESH WATER RINSE (refer to
page 37). The brewer should begin to function normally as the solution is rinsed out and
the scale is removed. If the problem persists, allow the brewer to sit unplugged for at least
30 minutes then continue with the fresh water rinse.
Some additional brewer functionality may be available to you via the mobile setup app.
If enabled, the app will provide instructions for these features.
