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 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 Switch 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 Handle 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.
  23. Always brew with the Puncture Plate (item S on page 5) installed. Failure to do so will result in a failure to properly brew.

Save These Instructions.

WARNING TO USERS AND PARENTS 

  1. DONOT permit children to use brewer unless there is adult supervision. Brewer dispenses very hot water.
  2. SPECIAL NOTICE FORHOT COCOAUSERS: IMMEDIATELY AFTER USING AHOT COCOA K-CUP® PACK, RUN a Hot Water Brew Cycle without a K-Cup® pack to avoid the possibility of clogging the exit needle. DONOT assume the next user will do this.

CAUTION: 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.

CAUTION: 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.

CAUTION: 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; (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.

Set-up

Helpful Hints

  1. Keep your brewer turned “ON” at all times. To brew a fresh cup of coffee, tea or hot cocoa anytime you want, we suggest you keep your brewer turned “ON” all the time. However, the brewer is fully programmable so you can set it to turn on and off automatically to match your schedule. Or, if you prefer, set the brewer to automatically turn off after a period of time. Follow the simple instructions on pages 13–14 to make using the brewer convenient for you.
  2. For the best tasting gourmet coffee, tea or hot cocoa, Keurig recommends using bottled water or filtered water. Water quality varies from place to place. If you notice an undesirable taste in your cup of coffee, such as chlorine or other mineral tastes, we recommend you consider using bottled water or water from a filtration system. The Keurig™ Water Filter Starter Kit is compatible with the K150P brewer but is not NSF certified. Use of this accessory will void NSF certification.
  3. Customize the size, flavor & brew that’s perfect for you. With the choice of over 250 varieties of K-Cup® packs and 5 brew sizes (Small Cup-4 oz., Small Mug-6 oz., Medium Mug-8 oz., Large Mug10 oz., and Travel Mug-12 oz.) your Keurig® brewer gives you endless options to customize the size, flavor and brew that’s perfect for you. For a strong, intense cup, select an Extra Bold K-Cup® pack (with up to 30% more ground coffee than regular varieties) and brew the size that’s right for you. The smaller the brew size, the more intense flavor in your cup. The larger the brew size, the less intense flavor in your cup.
  4. Plug brewer into its own grounded outlet. If the electric circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your brewer may not function properly. The brewer should be operated on its own circuit, separate from other appliances.
  5. Brewing into a travel mug. To brew into a travel mug, simply remove the Drip Tray Assembly and place the travel mug on the Drip Tray Base.
  6. De-scale brewer regularly. Please see pages 16 and 17 for instructions

Unpacking Instructions

  1. Place brewer box on a large steady surface (such as a table or countertop) or on the floor. Open the box.
  2. Remove enclosed literature.
  3. Turn the box on its side with the front of the box face down.
  4. Reach into the box and grasp the foam insert that contains the brewer.
  5. Carefully pull the foam insert toward you and out of the box. The brewer will still be encased in the polyfoam and be on its side.
  6. Remove the top polyfoam packaging material.
  7. Carefully lift brewer off of the bottom polyfoam and place it upright on a flat, steady surface.
  8. Lift plastic bag off of brewer.
  9. Record the serial number for this brewer on page 3 of this guide. The serial number can be found on the side of the brewer box or on the bottom of the brewer.
  10. Place the brewer upright on a flat, steady surface. Remove tape holding Water Reservoir in place.

We recommend you save all packing materials in case future shipping of the product is necessary.

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 KQ8, available from Keurig, Inc. Part No. 5572. Failure to use a filter invalidates the brewer warranty.

Plumbing Fitting Connections 

  1. An external filter (KQ8) can be mounted on the rear surface of the brewer using the mounting screws provided. See back view of brewer on page 5.
  2. Loosen the two mounting screws located on the upper-rear of the brewer and hang the KQ8 filter kit assembly.
  3. Tighten the two mounting screws (be careful not to over tighten).
    NOTE: The KQ8A Filter assembly comes with 1/4 FPT ports for both inlet and outlet and the plumbed water inlet to the brewer is 3/4 Male Garden Hose Thread (Invensys solenoid valve). 1/4 OD LLDPE (Linear Low Density Polyethylene) tubing is recommended (NSF compliant between the filter assembly and the brewer. NSF compliant fittings are recommended such as High Density Polypropylene Type).
  4. Connect the ‘INLET’ port of the filter assembly to the local water supply.
  5. Connect a long length of tubing to the EXIT Port of the filter assembly. DO NOT CONNECT TO THE BREWER YET.
  6. The filter needs an initial flush to clear any carbon deposits. Route the long length of tubing from the EXIT port to a container or sink.
  7. Turn on water supply and allow at least 4 – gallons of water to flush through the filter.
  8. Turn off water supply.
  9. Cut the tubing to proper length and connect to inlet plumbing port on the brewer by using water inlet valve 3/4 hose connector available from Keurig, Inc. Part #50-201004-010 (not included).

  10. Turn on water supply

De-Scaling Your Brewer

Mineral content in water varies from place to place. 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. De-scaling your brewer helps maintain the heating element and other internal parts of the brewer that come in contact with water.

The brewer should be de-scaled every 3-6 months to ensure optimal performance. It is possible for calcium deposits to build up faster, making it necessary to de-scale more often. The symptoms of scale build up are slow brewing and/or short cups.

The following outlines the steps required to prepare the brewer for the descaling procedure:

  1. Unplug the brewer from the power supply.
  2. Disconnect or interrupt the external water supply feeding the brewer.
  3. Drain the Hot Water and Cold Water Tanks (see Draining the Brewer on page 17).
  4. Remove the two screws located on the back, top, left of the brewer.
    Remove the Top Cover to gain access to the internal Cold Water Tank and expose the Descaling Solution Access Port.
  5. Reconnect the power supply.
  6. Proceed with the descaling procedure on page 17.

De-Scaling Instructions

  1. PREPARE
    1. Make sure you have at least 90 oz. of undiluted white vinegar on hand. You will also need an empty sink and a large ceramic mug (do not use a paper cup).
    2. Empty the water in the Water Reservoir.
    3. Disable “Auto Off” and programmed “On/Off” time (pages 13-14).
  2. FILL AND CLEAN
    1. Pour approximately 90 oz. of the vinegar into the Water Reservoir.
    2. Place a large mug on the Drip Tray Plate and run a water brew cycle.
      DO NOT USE A K-CUP® PACK, just select the Large Mug brew size.
      Pour the contents of the large mug into the sink.
    3. Repeat the brew process 3 times.
    4. Let the brewer stand for at least 4 hours while still on.
  3. RINSE
    1. Ensure the Water Reservoir is filled with fresh water.
    2. Place a large mug on the Drip Tray Plate and run a water brew cycle.
      Pour the contents of the large mug into the sink.
    3. Repeat brew process until the Water Reservoir is empty.
    4. You may need to perform additional water brew cycles if you notice any residual taste or odor.

Service

Beyond these recommended cleaning and maintenance procedures this brewer is not user serviceable. For service, please refer to the Warranty section of this guide.

Warranty

Limited One Year Warranty

Keurig, Incorporated warrants that your brewer will be free of defects in materials or workmanship under normal 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. Any damage to or malfunction of your brewer resulting from the use of non Keurig Brewed® K-Cup® brand packs 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 Brewed® K-Cup® brand packs 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

THIS WARRANTY IS EXCLUSIVE AND IS IN LIEU OF ANY OTHER EXPRESS WARRANTY, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL. IN ADDITION, KEURIG HEREBY SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO YOUR K150P 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.

How do you obtain warranty service?

Keurig® brewers are high-quality appliances and, with proper care, are intended to provide years of satisfying performance. However, should the need arise for warranty servicing, simply call Keurig Customer Service at our toll free phone number 1.888.CUP.BREW (287.2739). Please do not return your brewer for servicing without first speaking to Keurig Customer Service to obtain an Authorization to Return number (ATR). Keurig® brewers returned without an ATR number will be returned to the sender without servicing.
