Keurig K-Elite: Mountain icon flashing on the screen
High Altitude mode is on (meant for use above 5,000 feet), and in that mode the brew temperature cannot be changed. The mountain flashes when you try to adjust the temperature.

What Keurig says to do
- If you are not at high altitude, press the settings button until the mountain icon shows and use the arrows to turn the setting off; the temperature can then be adjusted.
- Press the settings button until you are back at the clock screen.

The same need shows up as a different light on each machine — which is why a light cannot be read without the machine.
