Operating Your Coffee Maker

7.Shake the brew basket slightly to even out the bed of coffee. This will help ensure uniform coffee extraction and excellent flavor. Place the basket into the Coffee Maker, push it down to seat it securely, and close the lid.

8.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 heats small quantities of water thoroughly, ensuring optimum flavor with small pots of coffee.

NOTE: Lifting the front lid while coffee is brewing will interrupt the brew process and impair flavor.

9.The Coffee Maker will sound the end-of-brewing tone when brewing is complete.

10.The “Time Since Brew” display indicates the time elapsed since the completion of the brewing cycle. The “30” segment will light immediately after brewing, indicating the coffee is less than 30 minutes old. Every 30 minutes, a new segment will light.

11.At the end of 2 hours, the Coffee Maker and warming plate will automatically shut off. To turn off the Coffee Maker manually, press the On/Off button. Although the thermal carafe model KCM515 does not have a warming plate, the outside of the carafe may be warm to the touch after brewing.

12.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.

Using the Thermal Carafe (model KCM515 only)

The stainless steel thermal carafe features a double walled, vacuum insulated design that will keep coffee hot – and flavorful – for hours. The special lid and spout design doesn’t require you to turn a stopper or press a button to dispense coffee – just tilt the carafe and pour! When you set the carafe upright, the lid will seal automatically.

•To remove the carafe lid for cleaning, turn it counter-clockwise and lift. The thermal carafe should be hand-washed only – it is not dishwasher-safe.

•To maximize coffee temperature, preheat the carafe before brewing by removing the lid and rinsing the interior with hot tap water.
