IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Safe Operation & Use

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 overfill the Cold 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 children.
16. Do not lift the brewer Handle while brewing is in progress; scalding may occur.
17. Always keep the Cold Water Reservoir Lid closed 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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

There are two sharp needles that puncture the K-Cup^® pack, one above the K-Cup^® Pack Holder and the other in the bottom of the K-Cup^® Pack Holder. To avoid risk of injury, do not put your fingers in the K-Cup^® Pack Assembly Housing.

There is extremely hot water in the K-Cup^® Pack Holder during the brew process. To avoid risk of injury, do not lift the Handle or open the K-Cup^® Pack Assembly Housing during the brewing process.

Please always keep the brewer in its upright position to avoid potential injury and/or damage to your brewer.

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS: A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

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;

Helpful Hints

1. Plug Power Cord into an independent, grounded outlet.
   If the electric circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your brewer may not function properly.
2. Initial cleansing brew.
   Before you make your first beverage, perform an initial cleansing brew without inserting a K-Cup^® pack.
3. One cup at a time.
   Your brewer makes one fresh beverage at a time. You will need to add fresh water each time you brew. Unlike other Keurig^® brewers, the K10 MINI Plus does not store water in the reservoir.
4. The right water makes a difference.
   For the best-tasting gourmet coffee, tea or hot cocoa, Keurig recommends using bottled or filtered water. We do not recommend using distilled or reverse osmosis water. Note that water quality can vary from place to place. If you notice an undesirable taste in your beverage (such as chlorine or other mineral substance), we recommend trying bottled water or water from a filtration system. For best results, carefully follow manufacturer's instructions when using any water filtration system.
5. Customize your size, flavor & brew.
   With over 250 K-Cup^® pack varieties and multiple fill levels, your brewer provides endless customization options – so that you can create the size, flavor and strength of each beverage that is perfect for you. For a strong, intense flavor, select an Extra Bold K-Cup^® pack (with up to 30% more ground coffee than regular varieties) along with a brew size that's right for you. The less water you use, the more intense the flavor in your cup. The more water you use, the less intense the flavor in your cup. Use the Water Level Guide located inside the Cold Water Reservoir to customize your brew size.
6. Brewing iced beverages.
   Your iced tea and iced coffee taste best when fresh-brewed hot over ice. Try it by placing a tall cup filled with ice on the Drip Tray, choose your favorite K-Cup^® pack and follow the brewing instructions on page 8. Also, look for the "Brew Over Ice" icon on K-Cup^® packs specially crafted to brew over ice!
   
   Do not brew into a cup made of glass. Doing so may cause the glass to crack or break.
7. Remove K-Cup^® pack after use.
8. Brewing into a tall mug.
   To brew into a tall mug, simply remove the Drip Tray Assembly and place the tall mug on the Drip Tray Base. Without the Drip Tray Assembly, however, you do lose the benefit of the Drip Tray to contain any excess liquid.
9. The Drip Tray.
   Any liquid overflow (from your cup or from the Cold Water Reservoir) will be caught in the Drip Tray. Be sure to empty the Drip Tray when the red Drip Tray Overflow Indicator pops up.
10. Automatic shut-off.
    As a safety feature, your brewer will shut off automatically when it is idle for longer than 90 seconds. Simply press the Power Button to restart.
11. Clean your brewer regularly.
    To keep your brewer looking and performing at its best, be sure to clean the external and internal components on a regular basis.
12. Descaling.
    Depending on the mineral content of the water in your area, calcium deposits or scale may build up in your brewer. Scale is non-toxic, but left unattended, it can hinder brewer performance. Descaling your brewer helps maintain the heating element and other internal parts of the brewer that come in contact with water.
13. Storing.
    When storing your brewer, empty the Drip Tray. Store your brewer upright in a safe, dry, frost-free environment.

Cleaning & Maintenance

Cleaning External Parts

Make sure the brewer is unplugged before cleaning.

Regular cleaning of the brewer's external components is recommended.

• Brewer external housing
• Drip Tray
• Drip Tray Plate

BREWER

• Never immerse brewer in water or other liquids.
• Clean the external housing of the brewer and other external components with a damp, non-abrasive, lint-free cloth.

DRIP TRAY AND DRIP TRAY PLATE

• When the red Drip Tray Overfill Indicator appears, the Drip Tray is almost full. Carefully remove by sliding tray toward you. Empty contents into the sink.
• Inspect the Drip Tray periodically and clean with a damp, non-abrasive, lint-free cloth.

Do not put the Drip Tray or the Drip Tray Plate in the dishwasher.

Cleaning the K-Cup^® Pack Holder Assembly

Make sure the brewer is unplugged before cleaning.

K-Cup® Pack Holder Assembly parts include:

• Funnel
• K-Cup^® Pack Holder with Exit Needle

The K-Cup^® Pack Holder Assembly parts can be placed on the top shelf of the dishwasher. Use a low temperature cycle when cleaning.

1. To remove the K-Cup^® Pack Holder Assembly from the brewer, lift the Handle to open. Grasp the top of the K-Cup^® Pack Holder with one hand. With the other hand, push up on the bottom of the K-Cup^® Pack Holder Assembly until it releases (fig. 1).
   
   
2. Separate the Funnel from the K-Cup^® Pack Holder by pulling it until it snaps free (fig. 2).
   
   
3. Clean the Exit Needle on the bottom of the K-Cup^® Pack Holder. Insert a paper clip (fig. 3) or similar tool from below if needle becomes clogged by coffee grinds.
   
   Avoid sharp needles in K-Cup^® Pack Assembly Housing. Do not put your fingers inside the K-Cup^® Pack Assembly Housing.
4. To replace the Funnel, just snap it back into the K-Cup^® Pack Holder (fig. 4).
   
   
5. To replace the K-Cup^® Pack Holder Assembly, align the K-Cup^® Pack Holder with the opening using the two front ribs as a guide and snap into place from the top (fig. 5).
   

Cleaning the Cold Water Reservoir

It is normal over time for discoloration, spotting or staining to appear in the Cold Water Reservoir. Results will vary depending on the mineral content of the water used but will not affect the operation of the brewer. However, be sure to clean the Cold Water Reservoir regularly to minimize build-up.

To access the Cold Water Reservoir, lift the lid. Remove the Water Level Guide (fig. 6) and then clean inside the reservoir with a damp, non-abrasive lint-free cloth as necessary (fig. 7).

Replace the Water Level Guide and lower the lid when finished.

The Water Level Guide is not dishwasher safe.

Emptying the Internal Hot Water Tank

Brewer must be powered off but plugged in.

• Lower the Cold Water Reservoir Lid.
• Place a mug on the Drip Tray.
• Press and hold down the BREW Button and continue to hold until all the water is dispensed into the mug.

There will be a 3 to 5 second delay before water begins to dispense.

Descaling Your Brewer

Depending on the mineral content of your water, calcium deposits or scale may build up in your brewer. Scale is non-toxic but if left unattended can hinder brewer performance. Regularly descaling your brewer every 3-6 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. Properly follow the descaling procedure.

Descaling Procedure

Before you begin, you will need a large ceramic mug, fresh water, descale solution and access to a sink. Do not use a paper cup.

STEP 1: FIRST DESCALING SOLUTION RINSE

• Turn on your brewer.
• Pour one third (4.6 oz.) of the Keurig ™ Descaling Solution into the cold Water Reservoir then add fresh water to the 10 oz. fill level.
• Place a large ceramic mug on the Drip Tray Plate. Do not use a paper cup.
• Lift the Handle but do not add a K-Cup^® pack.
• After 5 seconds, lower Handle and press the BREW button.
• Once solution is dispensed, discard hot contents into sink.

STEP 2: SECOND DESCALING SOLUTION RINSE

• Repeat above process up until you press the BREW button.
• When BREW button turns solid red, power off as it starts to dispense.
• Let brewer stand for at least 30 minutes.
• Power on the brewer, lift and lower Handle, then press BREW button.
• Discard the hot contents into sink.

STEP 3: FRESH WATER RINSE

• Repeat Step 1 (3 times) – using 10 oz. of fresh water each time.
• You may need to perform additional Fresh Water Rinse cycles if you notice any residual taste.

NOTE: 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.
• Plug the brewer back in, power on, and repeat the Step 3 Fresh Water Rinse cycle. The brewer should begin to function normally as the solution is rinsed out and the scale is removed. If problem persists, allow brewer to sit unplugged for at least 30 minutes before continuing with the rinse.

Visit us online for more information at www.keurig.com/descaling.

Storage

Empty the Internal Hot Water Tank and Cold Water Reservoir before storing. Store your brewer in a safe, frost-free environment in an upright position.

Storing the brewer in cold temperatures may cause any residual condensation to freeze inside the brewer and could cause damage.

Before using your brewer after storage, wipe the Cold Water Reservoir with a damp, non-abrasive lint-free cloth and run three (3) cleaning brews (without K-Cup^® packs).

Let brewer rest at room temperature for at least 2 hours before powering on.

Storing the Power Cord

Behind the brewer is a convenient compartment to hold the Power Cord during transport or storage (fig. 8).

Warranty

Limited one Year Warranty

Keurig, Incorporated warrants that your brewer will be free of defects in materials or workmanship under normal home use for one year from the date of purchase. It is recommended that you fill out and return the warranty card enclosed with your brewer so that your purchase information will be stored in our system. Keurig will, at its option, repair or replace a defective brewer without charge upon its receipt of proof of the date of purchase. If a replacement brewer is necessary to service this warranty, the replacement brewer may be new or reconditioned. If a replacement brewer is sent, a new limited one year warranty will be applied to the replacement brewer.

This warranty only applies to brewers operated in the United States and Canada. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights that vary from state to state and, in the case of Canada, from province to province.

Only the use of Keurig Brewed^® K-Cup^® brand packs and accessories will guarantee the proper functioning and lifetime of your Keurig^® brewer.

What is not covered by the limited warranty?
THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES SUCH AS PROPERTY DAMAGE AND DOES NOT COVER INCIDENTAL COSTS AND EXPENSES RESULTING FROM ANY BREACH OF THIS WARRANTY, EVEN IF FORESEEABLE. Some states or provinces do not allow the exclusion or limitations of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you depending on the state or province of purchase.
