When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should
be followed, including the following:
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Safe Operation & Use
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 overfill the Water Reservoir
with water.
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 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 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

brewer while brewing is in progress.
17. Always keep the Water Reservoir Lid
on the Water Reservoir unless you are
refilling it.
18. This appliance is equipped with a
power cord having 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.

What is a Cleansing Brew?
After brewing certain Vue® pack varieties such as hot
cocoa, iced tea or a café beverage, we recommend
performing a cleansing brew as follows:
Step 1 Take a used Vue® pack and peel off the lid. Discard
the lid and any filter which adheres to it. Ensure the
empty Vue® pack cup is clean.
Step 2 Place the EMPTY Vue® pack cup in the brewer and
place a mug on the Drip Tray.
Step 3 Lower the Handle, then press “BREW.” The brewer
will dispense 8 oz. of hot water into your mug.
Once complete, discard the water and carefully
remove the Vue® pack cup. The cleansing is
complete.
Stopping the Brewing Process
If you need to stop the brewing process after it has started,
press and release the Power Button to turn the brewer off.
The beverage flow will stop and the brewer will shut off.
The Vue® pack will be HOT after brewing. Use caution when
removing. Allow it to cool completely before handling.
When turning the brewer back on, place an empty mug
toward the back of the Drip Tray and press the Power
Button. Since the previous brew was interrupted, some
water may drip into the mug during preheating.
We recommend that you perform a cleansing brew before
brewing your next beverage (see above). If this is not done,
the brewer may deliver an additional amount of water for
your next beverage.
Dispensing Hot Water
If you need hot water for cooking (instant soup or oatmeal,
for example), place a cup or bowl below the Brew Head.
Place your cup or bowl toward the back of the Drip Tray.
Lift and lower the Handle WITHOUT inserting a Vue® pack.
Select “Coffee” (do not select “Strong”) and your desired cup
size and then press “BREW.” The brewer will dispense hot
water into your cup or bowl.
