KitchenAid®Coffee Maker Warranty – USA
KITCHENAID DOES NOT ASSUME ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR
INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. Some states do not allow
the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so this exclusion
may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also
have other rights which vary from state to state.
This warranty extends to the purchaser and any succeeding owner for coffee makers
operated in the 50 United States and the District of Columbia. For units operated in
Puerto Rico, the Standard First Year Warranty applies (see page 6) and is a Limited
Warranty because you must pay to ship the coffee maker to an Authorized
KitchenAid Service Center.
How To Arrange For Service – USA Only
If the coffee maker is operated in the
50 United States or the District of
Columbia, you may use either the
Hassle-Free Total Replacement
Warranty program or our Standard
First Year Warranty program.
(See pages 2 and 6.)
Residents of Puerto Rico must use the
Standard First Year Warranty program.
You may also use the information listed
under Standard First Year Warranty to
arrange for service after your warranty
expires.

Note: Your coffee maker has a
3-prong grounded plug. To reduce the
risk of electrical shock, this plug will fit
in an outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit in the outlet, contact a
qualified electrician. Do not modify the
plug in any way.
A short power-supply cord is to be
provided to reduce risks resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over
a longer cord.
Longer extension cords are available
and may be used if care is exercised in
their use.
If a long extension cord is used,
• the marked electrical rating of the
extension cord should be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the
appliance,

Good quality water is vital to the
brewing of good coffee, so it is
important to follow these
recommendations when using your
KitchenAid®Compact Coffee Maker:
• Use fresh tap water or filtered water
only; distilled or spring/mineral water
is NOT recommended.
• Remove calcium build-up from your
coffee maker regularly.
BEFORE USING YOUR
COFFEE MAKER
Before using, rinse the coffee maker by
running it through a cycle with water
only. Wash all removable parts in hot,
soapy water; rinse with clean hot water
and dry. (All removable parts are
dishwasher safe.)
TO MAKE COFFEE
1. Plug in the coffee maker.
2. Remove the Carafe from the
Warming Plate.
3. Open the Water Tank Lid.
4. Using the Carafe filled with fresh,
cool water, fill the Water Tank with
the amount of water needed for the
amount of coffee you wish to make.
DO NOT fill to a level higher than
the top marking on the Water Tank.
5. Swing the Filter Holder out of the
coffee maker. Place a paper filter in
the Filter Holder. Use a #2 cone
shape filter.
6. Fill the filter with one rounded
scoop of medium to coarse ground
coffee for each cup you are making,
using the included scoop. Use more
coffee for a stronger brew, less for
weaker.
7. Swing the Filter Holder back into
the coffee maker until it clicks into
closed position.
8. Place the Carafe on the Warming
Plate. Make sure the Carafe Lid is
in position on the Carafe.
9. Switch the coffee maker ON; the
ON/OFF Light will come on. (If
you remove the Carafe from the
Warming Plate during brewing, the
Automatic Pause & Pour Valve will
prevent liquid from dripping on the
Warming Plate. NOTE: The Lid
must be in place on the Carafe for
the Automatic Pause & Pour Valve
to operate.)
