Keurig K-Select: Green power light and green Auto Off light on after you press power
The coffee maker is on and heating, which takes about 3 minutes; when the heating sound stops it is ready. The Auto Off light being lit means it will switch itself off 2 hours after the last brew.

What Keurig says to do
- Wait for the heating sound to stop, or go ahead with Smart Start: place a mug, insert a pod, lower the handle and choose a size — it heats, then brews.
From K-Select Use & Care Guide: first brew, Coffee Maker Features (Auto Off, High Altitude Brewing), Descaling and Troubleshooting. This is the K-Select’s pattern; another Keurig machine may use the same light for something else — check the manual for your model.

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