COFFEE BREWING SUGGESTIONS:

ADVICE FOR GREAT TASTE

Fresh Coffee Beans

Truly great coffee can only come from fresh coffee beans. To preserve the freshness of your beans, keep the beans in an opaque, airtight container and store them 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 the KitchenAid coffee grinders at your local retailer or online at www.kitchenaid.com.

blade or burr

The Proper Amount of Ground Coffee

A good starting point is one scoop of coffee (scoop provided) 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.

PREPARING YOUR COFFEE MAKER FOR USE

Pre-Use Cleaning

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.

Installing the Water Filter

Use of the water filter is strongly recommended. Use of the filter is optional. The coffee maker will operate normally without it.

1. The filter consists of a long handle with a

filter cartridge at the end.

2. Place the filter cartridge in a separate

container filled with fresh, cool water. The cartridge should remain submerged in the water for 10 minutes. Rinse the filter under running water for 2 seconds after soaking.

3. Lift the water tank lid using the tab on

the rear of the lid.

4. Place the filter cartridge in the well at the

bottom of the water tank. Push the cartridge slightly to make sure it fits snugly.

5. Every time you install a new filter, run the

coffee maker through a complete brewing cycle without coffee. Use a full carafe of clean, cool water.

To Set the Time-of-Day Clock

KITCHENAID® COFFEE MAKER USE

Brewing Coffee

NOTE: Brew one pot of fresh, cool water

and discard before brewing the first pot of coffee (first time use only).

1. Remove the water tank and fill with

enough fresh, cool water to make the desired amount of coffee. A graduated scale on the tank measures the amount of water needed. When replacing the tank, make sure to align it with the tab(s).

NOTE: The tank can be filled using the carafe without removing the tank from the coffee maker.

For glass carafe models only, the right side of the scale (“coffee”) is a measurement of coffee volume. The left side of the scale (“water”) is based upon 4³⁄₄ oz (140 mL) cups.

For thermal carafes only, it is recommended that the lid be positioned in the “Pour” or “Lock” position while brewing. The “Lock” position will reduce heat loss from the carafe. Position in the “Unlock” position to remove the lid.

IMPORTANT: Be sure to empty the carafe before brewing coffee.

A. Lock position B. Pour position C. Unlocked position

2. Open the brew basket door and remove

the brew basket from the front of the coffee maker.

After filling the water tank, place the carafe in the coffee maker.

IMPORTANT: Make sure the lid is securely in position and the bottom of the carafe is fully seated. If the carafe is not seated, the Pause and Pour feature may not engage and may cause water and coffee to overflow the brew basket.

To maximize coffee temperature, it is recommend that you fill and empty the carafe with hot water to preheat the carafe.

3. Insert a 12-14 cup flat bottom paper

filter or the Gold Tone permanent filter into the brew basket.

IMPORTANT: Do not use both types of filters at the same time. Using both filters might cause water and coffee to overflow the brew basket.

4. Use the included scoop and fill the filter

with one level scoop of ground coffee for each cup desired. Use a medium grind appropriate for automatic drip coffee makers.

IMPORTANT: Too fine a grind will produce bitterness and may clog the coffee filter.

NOTE: Always place the filter and coffee into the removable brew basket. Do not operate the coffee maker without the brew basket in place.

5. Shake the brew basket slightly to even

out the bed of coffee. Place the basket into the coffee maker and push it in to seat it securely. Be sure the brew basket door is fully closed before brewing.

Descaling the Coffee Maker

The coffee maker can be descaled using a packaged descaling agent or vinegar. Always mix the descaling solution using cool water.

■ When using a descaling agent, follow

the directions on the package for the recommended amounts of descaling agent and water to use.

■ When using vinegar, fill the carafe with a

solution consisting of ¹⁄₂ vinegar and ¹⁄₂ water.

Cleaning Needed Indicator

Calcium deposits (scale) from water will build up in the coffee maker heat pump over time and impair brewing efficiency and coffee quality. When the coffee maker needs to be cleaned, the “*Clean” indicator will flash after a brewing cycle is complete. Once this occurs, descaling should be done as soon as possible to preserve the performance and life of your coffee maker.

NOTE: You may want to clean your coffee maker prior to the “Cleaning Needed” indicator flashing under heavy use or hard water conditions.

Clean

1. Before descaling, always remove the

water filter (see the “Installing the Water Filter” section) and make sure the brew basket contains no coffee or coffee filters.

2. Run the coffee maker through a

complete Clean cycle using a full tank of the descaling solution.

NOTE: If you do not complete the programming steps within 10 seconds, the settings will be maintained and the coffee maker will exit to the default mode.

3. For glass carafe models, press the

MODE button 6 times to enter the Clean mode.

NOTE: For thermal carafe models, press the MODE button 5 times to enter the Clean mode.

The “Clean” indicator will flash until this programming cycle is complete.

4. Press the PROGRAM/SET button. The

“Clean” and “ON” or “OFF” indicators will flash. Press the “+” (plus) or “-” (minus) button to select “ON.”

5. Press and hold the PROGRAM/SET

button to program the Clean setting. A short beep will sound, indicating programming is complete.

TROUBLESHOOTING

■ If the brew timer display is not

illuminated:

Check to see whether the coffee maker is plugged into a grounded 3-prong outlet. If it is, check the fuse or circuit breaker on the electrical circuit the coffee maker is connected to and make sure the circuit is closed.

■ If only a portion of the water added to

the coffee maker actually brews:

The coffee maker requires immediate descaling. Please refer to “Descaling the Coffee Maker” in the “Coffee Maker Care” section.

■ If “Err4” appears on the brew button

timer display:

A button may be jammed. Unplug the coffee maker and press each button several times.

NOTE: If you do not hold the PROGRAM/SET button until a short beep is heard, the settings will be maintained and the coffee maker will exit to the default mode.

6. Press the BREW button to start the

cleaning cycle. Once the cleaning cycle is complete, the “Clean” indicator will turn off.

7. Rinse the coffee maker by running it

through 2 brewing cycles using a full water tank of fresh, cool water each time.

8. Wash the brew basket in hot, soapy

water and rinse with hot water. The brew basket can also be washed in the upper rack of the dishwasher.

9. Reinstall or replace the water filter.

Replace the filter every 3 months under normal use. Replace it more often under heavy use or hard water conditions.

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter. Do not use an extension cord. Failure to follow these instructions

can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
