ASSEMBLING THE COFFEE MAKER
Preparing the Coffee Maker for use
Before First Use
Wash the brew basket, Gold Tone permanent filter, and carafe in hot, soapy water, then rinse with clean water and dry. Do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads.
NOTE: These parts can also be washed in the top rack of the dishwasher.
Installing the water lter
Use of the water filter is optional, but strongly recommended. The filter reduces contaminants which impair the coffee flavor. The Coffee Maker will operate normally without it.
The water filter is for use only with municipally treated tap water or well water that is regularly tested for contaminants; the filter is not intended to remove contaminants in water that is not suitable for drinking.
English
Place the filter cartridge in a separate
1
container filled with fresh, cool water. The cartridge should remain submerged in the water for 10 minutes. Rinse the filter cartridge under running water for 5 seconds after soaking.
Place the filter cartridge in the well
3
at the bottom of the water reservoir. Push the cartridge slightly to make sure it fits snugly.
Lift the water tank lid using the tab on
2
the rear of the lid.
IMPORTANT: Every time you install a new water filter, run the Coffee Maker through a complete brew cycle without coffee. Use a full carafe of clean, cool water.
7
OPERATING THE COFFEE MAKER
Setting up the clock
Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
1
NOTE: When the Coffee Maker is first
plugged in or when power is restored after an interruption, the brew timer display will initially show 12:00 AM.
To set the Hour: Press HOUR. The
2
Hour setting will begin to blink. The Hour digits will change with each press; or PRESS AND HOLD and the Hour digits will scroll rapidly.
8
To set the Minutes: Press MINUTE.
3
The Hour setting will switch to a solid display and the Minute setting will begin to blink. The Minute digits will change with each press; or PRESS AND HOLD and the Minute digits will scroll rapidly.
To save the current displayed time and
4
exit clock set up: Press ANY other button (Mode, Auto Set, Strength or Brew); or do not press any button for 10 seconds.
Setting brew strength
The Coffee Maker can be programmed to brew coffee at a Regular (REG) or Bold (BOLD) strength (the default brew strength is Regular).
To program and activate the “Bold” mode setting:
Press the STRENGTH button to select
1
the “Bold” indicator.
English
Pause and pour feature
The “Pause and pour” feature enables you to remove the carafe from the Coffee Maker and pour a cup of coffee before brewing is finished. When the carafe is removed, a special valve stops the flow of coffee from the brew basket. However, brewing does not stop. If the carafe is not placed back in the Coffee Maker within 30 seconds, water and coffee grounds will overflow the brew basket.
9
OPERATING THE COFFEE MAKER
Filling the Coffee Maker with water for brewing
TIP: Brew one pot of fresh, cool water and discard before brewing the first pot of coffee
(see the “Preparing the Coffee Maker for Use” section).
Remove the water tank and fill with
1
enough fresh, cool water to make the desired amount of coffee. A graduated scale on the water tank indicates the amount of water needed.
NOTE: The water tank does not need to be removed in order to be refilled; simply lift the tank lid and pour fresh, cool water into the tank. Water can also be poured directly into the reservoir at the back of the Coffee Maker.
On the carafe: The right side of the scale
3
(Coffee) is a measurement of coffee volume. The left side of the scale (Water) indicates the amount of water needed to produce a given number of cups.
When replacing the tank, make sure to
2
align the holes on the top of the tank with the tabs on the back of the Coffee Maker housing.
Place the carafe in the Coffee Maker.
4
Make sure the lid is securely in position and the bottom of the carafe is fully seated, or the Pause and pour feature may not engage, causing water and coffee to overflow the brew basket.
10
Filling the brew basket with coffee
TIP: The coffee filter can also be inserted and coffee grounds added without removing the
brew basket from the Coffee Maker.
English
Remove the brew basket from the top
1
of the Coffee Maker by grasping the locking handle on the basket.
NOTE: Do not operate the Coffee Maker without the brew basket in place.
Fill the filter with one rounded
3
tablespoon of ground coffee for each cup desired. Use a medium grind appropriate for automatic drip Coffee Makers. Too fine a grind will produce bitterness and may clog the coffee filter. Shake the brew basket slightly to even out the bed of coffee.
Insert a 10–12 cup flat bottom paper
2
filter or the Gold Tone permanent filter into the brew basket. Do not use both types of filters at the same time. Using both filters might cause water and coffee to overflow the brew basket.
Place the basket into the Coffee Maker
4
and rotate the handle toward the front of the Coffee Maker to lock the brew basket in place. Be sure the brew basket lid is fully closed before brewing.

TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS
Quick tips
Fresh Coffee Beans: Truly great coffee
can only come from fresh coffee beans. To preserve the freshness of your beans, keep them in an opaque, airtight container and store in a cool, dry place. Refrigeration is not recommended since condensation tends to form on the beans whenever the container is opened. Freezing can help preserve beans stored for an extended period, but it will also impair flavor.
The Right Grind: The best cup of coffee comes from coffee beans that are properly ground just before brewing. When grinding, be sure to grind your coffee to a medium grind level, the appropriate grind for automatic drip Coffee Makers. Look for KitchenAid® Coffee Grinders at your local retailer or online at www.kitchenaid.com.
The Proper Amount of Ground Coffee: A good starting point is 1 tablespoon of coffee for every cup of brew water marked on the glass carafe or the water tank. Finer grinds usually require less coffee but may also produce bitterness and clog the filter.
For weaker coffee, brew using the suggested ratio of coffee grounds and water, then dilute with hot water. This maximizes flavor and minimizes bitterness.
Brew Water Purity: Great tasting coffee starts with fresh water. The removable water tank is easy to fill with water to give you great tasting coffee every time. It’s also easy to clean so you can always make your coffee with the freshest water. Where local water is extremely poor, you may wish to use bottled water. Do not use distilled water or mineral water since they can damage your Coffee Maker.
Coffee Maker Cleanliness: Since the coffee oils that build up on the brew basket and carafe can go stale and impair the flavor of the brewed coffee, it’s important that these two items are cleaned daily in order to make the best tasting coffee.
16
Cleaning the Coffee Maker
Calcium deposits (scale) from water will build up in the Coffee Maker heat pump over time and impair brewing efficiency and coffee quality. If you notice that it takes longer than usual to brew, or that the Coffee Maker is making unusual noises, then it is time to descale. The “Clean” indicator will flash when the Coffee Maker has brewed 100 cups of coffee, or detects scale buildup. Descaling should be done as soon as possible to preserve the performance and life of your Coffee Maker.
English
NOTE:
using a vinegar and water solution, or by using a packaged descaling agent. Always mix the descaling solution using cool water.
When using vinegar, fill the carafe with a solution consisting of ½ vinegar and ½ water.
When using a descaling agent, follow the directions on the package for the recommended ratios of descaling agent and water to use.
The Coffee Maker should be run through a complete Clean cycle using a full tank of the descaling solution.
The Coffee Maker can be descaled
When the “Clean” indicator begins to
2
flash: Press the MODE button 2 times. The “Reg” indicator will go off, and the “Clean” indicator will turn on.
Before descaling, always remove the
1
water filter (see the “Installing the Water Filter” section) and make sure the brew basket contains no coffee or coffee filters.
Press the BREW button. One beep will
3
sound and the “Brew” indicator will light up. The “Clean” indicator will stay on and the Clean cycle will begin.
17
When the Clean cycle is complete
4
(approximately 9 minutes), 3 beeps will sound, and the “Clean” and “Brew” indicators will turn off. The main screen will reappear.
NOTE: The Clean cycle can be completed at regular intervals, if desired, without the “Clean” indicator needing to light up. Follow these directions to clean the Coffee Maker whenever desired.
Reinstall or replace the water filter.
5
Replace the filter every 3 months under normal use. Replace it more often under heavy use.
