INTRODUCTION

The KitchenAid®PRO LINE®Series Coffee Maker brings commercial
performance to the home, combining outstanding construction and durability
with features that make brewing abundant amounts of superb coffee easy.
The commercial, 1350-watt stainless steel heat pump brews quickly, providing
exceptionally smooth and flavorful coffee. The elegant die-cast metal housing
and stainless steel brew basket will stand up to the heaviest use. The front-fill
water reservoir and slide-out basket design offer remarkable convenience.
With a 12-cup carafe, the Coffee Maker features exceptional capacity. The
warming plate offers two temperature selections: “low” preserves the flavor of
coffee served at a leisurely pace, while “high” keeps coffee piping hot.
An easy-to-set digital brew timer makes waking up to fresh coffee every morning simple. After brewing,
keep an eye on coffee freshness with the handy “Time Since Brewing” display. And don’t worry about
leaving the Coffee Maker on; it automatically shuts off two hours after brewing.
The KitchenAid®PRO LINE®Series: commercial quality for the discriminating home chef. From the
company distinguished by its legendary craftsmanship.
