Plumbing Instructions

CAUTION: This brewer is designed to handle local water pressures from 40
psig up to 125 psig. Consult a licensed plumber for water pressures in your
area. Use plumbing fittings and tubing specified to withstand 125 psig.
WARNING: Keurig® requires the use of an external water filter such as the
Omnipure KQ8A Water Filter, available from Keurig®. Failure to use a filter
invalidates the brewer warranty.
1. Remove all pieces of packing tape from the
brewer and drip tray. Remove the clear plastic
film from the touch screen.
NOTE: An external filter (KQ8A, #5572) can be mounted on the rear
surface of the brewer using the mounting screws provided.
2. Attach a threaded straight adapter to each
of the ports on the Omnipure KQ8A water filter
and tighten using an 11/16" (18mm) wrench.
Make sure the connections are secure, but do not
overtighten.
3. Attach the filter mounting bracket to the
Omnipure KQ8A water filter using the four
screws provided.
NOTE: The top of the Omnipure KQ8A water filter has two ports labeled
in port and out port. Make sure these ports are aligned with the filter
mounting bracket.
4. Loosen the two mounting screws located on
the upper rear of the brewer and hang the filter
kit assembly. Tighten the screws but be careful
not to over tighten.
NOTE: The filter kit assembly comes with ¼" FPT ports for both inlet and
outlet and the plumbed water inlet to the brewer is ¾" female garden
hose thread (Invensys solenoid valve). ¼" OD LLDPE (Linear Low Density
Polyethylene) tubing is recommended (NSF compliant) between the filter
kit assembly and the brewer. NSF compliant fittings such as High Density
Polypropylene type are recommended
5. Connect a stem elbow fitting to the port of
the filter kit assembly by pushing the stem elbow
fitting into the previously attached adapter.
Push firmly until the connection is secure. Secure
LLDPE tubing to the stem elbow fitting in the
same fashion and connect it to the local water
supply.
6. You may wish to install a shut-off valve
between the water source and the Omnipure
KQ8A water filter. To do this, cut some LLDPE
tubing to size and connect it by pushing the
tubing into the shut-off valve until secure.
7. Connect a long length of tubing to the out
port of the filter kit assembly. Do not connect
the brewer yet.
8. The Omnipure KQ8A water filter needs an
initial flush to clear any carbon deposit. Bring the
long length of tubing to a container or sink.
