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 Ion-Exchange
Water Filter
Use of the ion-exchange water filter
is strongly recommended. The filter
softens the water while reducing chlorine
and other contaminants which impair
coffee flavor. The handle of the filter also
serves as a water level indicator. Use of
the water filter is optional: 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.
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 tap water for
5 seconds after soaking.
3. Lift the rear portion of the split-lid
using the tabs on either side of the lid.
4. Place the filter cartridge in the circular
well at the bottom of the water
reservoir, aligning the tab on the
cartridge with the notch in the well. The
water level markings on the filter handle
will face forward. 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.
6. Replace the filter every three months
under normal use. Replace it more
often under heavy use or hard-water
conditions.
To Set the Time-of-Day Clock
1. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
2. 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.
3. Press the Set (Clock) Button. The brew
timer display and Set (Clock) indicator
will begin to flash.

Operating Your Coffee Maker
USING THE THERMAL CARAFE:
The stainless steel thermal carafe features
a double-walled, vacuum-insulated design
that will keep coffee hot – and flavorful –
for hours. It’s a unique, easy-to-use design
with features you should know about
before enjoying great-tasting coffee.
Carafe Tray
Once your coffee is brewed, it needs no
external heating to keep it warm so there
is no warming plate. Instead, there is a
carafe tray to position the carafe while
your coffee is brewing.
Bottom of the Carafe is Hot
Immediately After Brewing
After brewing, the carafe can be quite
warm. Use discretion when placing
the carafe on unprotected surfaces
immediately after brewing.
“Brew-Through” Lid
The lid is designed so that the carafe will
accept hot, fresh coffee from the brew
basket while the lid is on. Before brewing
be sure the lid is secure. Do not turn, or
unlock, the lid to brew or the lid could
fall off later while you are pouring coffee.
The Lid Makes Pouring Easy
The special lid design allows you to pour
coffee without turning a stopper or
pressing a button.
To Serve: Make sure the pouring
indentation in the carafe lid is aligned
with the pouring spout, then simply tilt
and pour.

9
ENGLISH
Operating Your Coffee Maker
To Remove Lid: Turn the lid counter-
clockwise to approximately the eleven
o’clock position, and lift the lid out.
Maximize Coffee Temperature
To maximize coffee temperature, preheat
the carafe before brewing by removing
the lid and rinsing the interior with hot
tap water.
Hand Wash Only
Do not clean the carafe in a dishwasher.
Wash or rinse it by hand.
BREWING COFFEE
NOTE: Brew one pot of fresh, cool water
and discard before brewing the first pot
of coffee. (First time use only).
1. Lift the front lid and fill the water
reservoir, pouring fresh, cool water
into the reservoir fill-channel to the
right of the brew basket. Use the
graduated scale on the water filter
handle to gauge the amount of water
for the desired amount of coffee.
The scale is a measurement of water
volume in 41⁄4ounce cups.
2. After filing the reservoir, place the
carafe on the Coffee Maker’s carafe
tray. Make sure the lid is secure and in
the locked position, and the bottom
of the carafe is fully seated on the tray
– if the carafe isn’t seated, the pause
and pour feature may engage and
coffee may overflow the brew basket.
3. Remove the brew basket from the top
of the Coffee Maker by grasping the
finger loop on the front of the basket.
4. Insert a 10-12 cup flat-bottom paper
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.
5. Using the included scoop, fill the filter
with one level scoop 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.
NOTE: Always place the filter and
coffee into the removable brew
basket. Do not operate the Coffee
Maker without the brew basket in
place.

10
ENGLISH
Operating Your Coffee Maker
6. Shake the brew basket slightly to even
out the bed of coffee. Place the basket
into the Coffee Maker, push it down
to seat it securely. Be sure the front lid
is fully closed before brewing.
7. Press the On/Off Button to begin
brewing coffee. If you are only
brewing 1 to 4 cups of coffee, press
the 1-4 Cup Button immediately after
pressing the On/Off Button. The 1 to
4 cup brew cycle ensures optimum
flavor when brewing small pots
of coffee.
NOTE: Lifting the front lid while coffee is
brewing will interrupt the brew process
and impair flavor.
8. The Coffee Maker will sound the end-
of-brewing tone when brewing is
complete.
9. The “Time Since Brew” display
indicates the time elapsed since the
completion of the brewing cycle.
10. At the end of 2 hours, the Coffee
Maker will automatically shut off. To
turn off the Coffee Maker manually,
press the On/Off button. The outside of
the carafe may be warm to the touch
after brewing. Use discretion when
placing the carafe on unprotected
surfaces immediately after brewing.
11. Repeat steps 1-8 to brew additional
carafes of coffee. Always turn off the
Coffee Maker and allow it to cool for
five minutes before starting the next
brew cycle.
THE 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. Brewing,
however, does not stop. If the carafe
is not placed back on the Carafe Tray
within 25 seconds, water and coffee will
overflow the brew basket.
USING THE AUTOMATIC BREW TIMER
The Coffee Maker can be programmed
to brew coffee at a preset time, making
it easy to wake up to fresh coffee every
morning.
To program and activate the automatic
brew timer:
1. Press the Set (Program) Button. The
brew timer display and Set (Program)
indicator will begin to flash. The brew
timer display will show the last brew
time set.
2. Press the “H” (hour) and “M” (minute)
Buttons below the brew timer display
to set the hour and minutes. If a “H”
or “M” Button is pressed and held,
the digits will scroll rapidly. The AM
and PM indicator lights on the brew
timer display will change when the
hour digits roll past “12”. Make sure
the desired brew time is correct with
respect to AM or PM.

3. After setting the brew time, press
the Set (Program) Button to exit the
program-setting mode. The Coffee
Maker will automatically record the
displayed brew time and exit the
program-setting mode if no buttons
are pressed for 10 seconds.
4. Fill the Coffee Maker with coffee
and fresh water, then activate the
automatic brew timer by pressing the
Auto On Button. The programmed
brew time will appear briefly on the
brew timer display before it returns
to the time-of-day, and the Auto On
indicator will illuminate.
5. The Coffee Maker will begin brewing
at the programmed time.
6. Each time you want the Coffee Maker
to brew at the programmed time,
activate the automatic brew timer
by pressing the Auto On Button. The
Coffee Maker will always default to
the last brew time set.
NOTE: To cancel automatic brewing,
deactivate the brew timer by pressing the
Auto On Button. When deactivated, the
Auto On indicator light will go out.
If program time has not been set prior
to pressing Auto On button, the coffee
maker will enter program set mode (see
“Using the Automatic Brew Timer” on
page 10).
THE 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 detects a build-up of scale, the
cleaning needed indicator will light 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. Please see
page 12 for descaling steps.
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 coffee beans, keep the
beans in an opaque, air-tight container
and store them in a cool, dry place.
Refrigeration is not recommended, as
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 the flavor.
The Right Grind
The best cup of coffee comes from
coffee beans that are properly ground
just before brewing. Grinders like the
KitchenAid®Blade Coffee Grinder, Pro Line®
Series Burr Coffee Mill, or the KitchenAid®
Model A-9®Coffee Mill offer excellent
results. When grinding, be sure to grind
your coffee to a medium grind level – the
appropriate grind for automatic drip
coffee makers.
The Proper Amount
of Ground Coffee
A good starting point is one scoop
of coffee for every cup of brew water
marked on the carafe or the water filter
guide. Finer grinds usually require less
coffee, but may also produce bitterness
and clog the filter.

ENGLISH
12
Care and Cleaning
Cleaning the Coffee Maker
1. Remove the brew basket and carafe
from the Coffee Maker.
2. Remove the lid on the thermal carafe
by turning it counter-clockwise,
then lifting.
3. Wash the brew basket and gold tone
permanent filter in hot, soapy water
and rinse with hot water. Do not use
abrasive cleansers or scouring pads.
These parts can also be washed in the
upper rack of a dishwasher.
4. The thermal carafe should be hand-
washed only. Do not use abrasive
cleansers or scouring pads.
5. Unplug the Coffee Maker and wipe
the housing with a warm, soapy cloth.
Then wipe clean with a damp cloth
and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use
abrasive cleansers or scouring pads.
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 1⁄2vinegar and
1⁄2water.
Descaling Steps:
1. Before descaling, always remove the
water filter (see “Installing the Ion-
Exchange Water Filter” on page 7) and
make sure the brew basket contains
no coffee or coffee filters.
2. Run the Coffee Maker through a
complete brewing cycle using a full
carafe of the descaling solution.
3. If the cleaning needed indicator lights
after the brewing cycle is complete,
repeat Step 2 using fresh descaling
solution. Keep repeating Step 2 until
the cleaning needed indicator no
longer lights after brewing.
4. Rinse the Coffee Maker by running
it through two brewing cycles using a
full carafe of fresh, cool water
each time.
5. Wash the brew basket in hot, soapy
water and rinse with hot water. This
part can also be washed in the upper
rack of the dishwasher.
6. The thermal carafe should be hand-
washed only. Do not use abrasive
cleansers or scouring pads.
7. Reinstall or replace the water filter.
Replace the filter every three months
under normal usage, or more often
with heavy use.
Coffee Brewing Suggestions:
Advice for Great Taste
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
For better tasting coffee, use the ion-
exchange water filter that comes
with your Coffee Maker. It reduces
contaminants, softens the water, and
enhances flavor. Be sure to replace the
filter promptly every three months.
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.

ENGLISH
13
Troubleshooting
• If the brew timer display is not
illuminated:
Check to see if 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 the descaling
instructions on the previous page.
• If “Err4” appears on the brew
timer display:
– A button may be jammed. Unplug the
Coffee Maker and press each button
several times.
– Plug the Coffee Maker into a grounded
3 prong outlet.
– If “Err4” appears again on the display,
repeat this procedure.
• If “Err1”, “Err2”, or “Err3” appear
on the brew timer display:
Press the On/Off Button to reset the
Coffee Maker. (If the Coffee Maker
has been stored or used in a cool
environment, warm the unit to normal
room temperature before doing this.)
If the error codes reappear, there is
a problem with the Coffee Maker
electronics.
If the problem cannot be fixed with the
steps above, please refer to the Warranty
and Service section beginning on the
following page.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong
outlet.

Sécurité de la cafetière
CONSIGNES DE SÉCURITÉ
IMPORTANTES
Lorsqu’on utilise un appareil électrique, il faut toujours respecter certaines règles de
sécurité fondamentales, notamment les suivantes.
1. Lire toutes les instructions.
2. Ne pas toucher les surfaces chaudes. Utiliser les poignées ou les boutons.
3. Pour protéger contre les risques de choc électrique, ne pas plonger le cordon, les
fiches ou la cafetière dans l’eau ou dans tout autre liquide.
4. Il est nécessaire de surveiller de près l’utilisation de cet appareil par ou à proximité
d’enfants.
5. Débrancher l’appareil de la prise avant de le nettoyer. Laisser refroidir avant de
monter ou d’enlever des pièces et avant de nettoyer.
6. Ne pas utiliser un appareil dont la fiche ou le cordon sont abîmés, qui présente un
problème de fonctionnement ou qui est endommagé de quelque manière que ce
soit. Le rapporter au centre de service autorisé le plus proche pour le faire examiner,
réparer ou régler.
7. L’utilisation d’accessoires non recommandés par le fabricant de l’appareil peut causer
un incendie, un choc électrique ou des blessures.
8. Ne pas utiliser à l’extérieur.
9. Ne pas laisser pendre le cordon de la table ou du comptoir ou toucher des surfaces
chaudes.
Votre sécurité et celle des autres est très importante.
Nous donnons de nombreux messages de sécurité importants dans ce manuel
et sur votre appareil ménager. Assurez-vous de toujours lire tous les messages
de sécurité et de vous y conformer.
Voici le symbole d’alerte de sécurité.

potentiels de décès et de blessures graves à vous et à d’autres.
