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.
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.
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.
Do not let the Power Cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.

Always keep the Flip-Top Reservoir
Lid on the Water Reservoir unless you are refilling it.
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.
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.
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the Power Cord or use an adapter.
Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Do not use the appliance for other than its intended use.
Remove the shipping disk before brewing.
SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING TO USERS
AND PARENTS:
1.
DO NOT permit children to use the brewer unless there is adult supervision. Brewer dispenses very hot water.
2.
SPECIAL NOTICE FOR
HOT COCOA/OTHER USERS:
IMMEDIATELY AFTER USING
A HOT COCOA/OTHER POD,
RUN A HOT WATER BREW
CYCLE without a pod to avoid the possibility of clogging the exit needle. DO NOT assume the next user will do this.
WARNING
RISK OF FIRE OR
ELECTRIC SHOCK

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.
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
4 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.
Your Keurig ® Plus Series brewer will not work with pods that do not have the Keurig ® logo on them.

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 the brewer without adult supervision. Press the Power Button to terminate the brew process. Follow the instructions on the Touch Display before removing the Keurig ®
Carafe. The brewer will return to the home screen. Remove and discard the used
K-Carafe ® pod.
• There is extremely hot water in the Pod Holder during the brew process.
• To avoid risk of injury, do not lift the Handle during the brewing process.
• HAND-WASH ONLY. DO NOT SUBMERGE. DO NOT MICROWAVE.
NOTE: CARAFE NOT INCLUDED WITH BREWER.

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 nontoxic 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 Display 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.
NOT NOW
Time to descale the brewer!
CONTINUE
Descaling is good maintenance.
Go to www.keurig.com for instructions.
CANCEL OK
36
2 | TIPS & MAINTENANCE
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.
STEP 2: SECOND DESCALING SOLUTION RINSE
• Repeat the cleansing brew process until the Touch Display 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.
37
CARING FOR YOUR BREWER
DESCALING YOUR BREWER (CONTINUED)
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.

TROUBLESHOOTING
BREWER DOES NOT HAVE POWER
• Plug the brewer into an independent outlet without dimmer control.
• Check to be sure that the brewer is plugged in securely.
• Plug the brewer into a different outlet.
• Reset your home’s circuit breaker if necessary.
• Press and hold the Power Button and ensure the Touch Display is illuminated.
BREWER WILL NOT BREW
• After placing a pod in the Pod Holder, make sure the Handle is lowered completely and the
Touch Display displays the appropriate brew screen. Follow the brewing instructions in
SECTION 1 (refer to pages 12 – 13).
• If the Touch Display indicates “More Water Please” add water to the Water Reservoir or make sure the Water Reservoir is seated properly in its Base.
• If the Touch Display indicates “More Water Please” even after refilling, remove the Water
Reservoir and empty the water. Then thoroughly clean (refer to page 27). Fill the Water
Reservoir to the MAX FILL line, return it to the brewer and ensure it is seated properly in its Base.
• The Pod Holder may need to be cleaned (refer to pages 28 – 29) or the brewer may need to be descaled (refer to pages 36 – 38).
• If you have completed the above procedure two times and this situation persists, contact
Customer Service at 1.866.901.BREW (2739).
BREWER BREWS ONLY A PARTIAL CUP
• Clean the Pod Holder if necessary (refer to pages 28 – 29).
• The Water Reservoir may have been removed during brewing. Replace the Water Reservoir and perform a cleansing brew (refer to page 11) without a pod.
• Descale the brewer (refer to pages 36– 38).
• If you have repeated the descale procedure on your brewer two times and it is still only brewing a partial cup, contact Customer Service at 1.866.901.BREW (2739).

BREWER SHUTS OFF OR TURNS ON AUTOMATICALLY
• Check to make sure that the AUTO ON/OFF settings have not been set
(refer to page 20).
THE TOUCH DISPLAY INDICATES “MORE WATER PLEASE.”
• If the water level is not low, remove the Water Reservoir and empty the water.
Then thoroughly clean (refer to page 27). Fill the Water Reservoir to the MAX FILL line, return it to the brewer, and ensure it is seated properly in its Base.
THE TOUCH DISPLAY INDICATES “SORRY, BREW INTERRUPTED.”
OR “SORRY, THERE IS A PROBLEM.”
• These screens indicate there are coffee grounds stuck in the Entrance Needle. Use caution and slowly lift the Handle and remove the pod from the brewer. To release the clogged needle, use the Brewer Maintanance Accessory included with your brewer. Refer to the instructions on page 30 or the guide included with the Accessory.
THE K-CUP ® POD HAS A KEURIG ® LOGO, BUT TOUCH DISPLAY
INDICATES “OOPS!”
• Keurig cannot guarantee that pods without the Keurig ® logo will work in the Keurig ® Plus
Series brewer. Some Keurig brand pods produced prior to January 2014 may not be enabled to work with the Keurig ® Plus Series brewer. Please contact Customer Service at
1.866.950.2326 for a solution.

WARRANTY
LIMITED ONE YEAR WARRANTY
Keurig 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 and 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.
The Keurig ® Plus Series brewer is designed to only work with Keurig ® brand pods. Any damage to or malfunction of your brewer resulting from the use of non-Keurig ® brand pods and accessories may not be covered by this warranty or may result in a service fee if the damage or malfunction is determined to be caused by such use.
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.
Nor does this warranty cover damages caused by use of non-Keurig ® brand pods or accessories, services performed by anyone other than Keurig ® or its authorized service providers, use of parts other than genuine Keurig ® parts, or external causes such as abuse, misuse, inappropriate power supply, or acts of God.

OTHER LIMITATIONS

WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL. IN ADDITION, KEURIG HEREBY SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS
ALL OTHER WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO YOUR K500 BREWER, INCLUDING ANY
IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR
PURPOSE. Some states or provinces do not allow disclaimers of such implied warranties or limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you depending on the state or the province of purchase.
