Coffee Maker Care

Cleaning the Coffee Maker

1.Remove the brew basket and travel mug from the coffee maker.

2.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.

3.Unplug the coffee maker and wipe the housing with a warm, soapy cloth. Then wipe clean with damp cloth and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads.

Descaling the Coffee Maker

Calcium deposits (scale) from water will build up in the coffee maker heat pump over time and impair brewing efficiency and coffee quality. Descaling should be done to preserve the performance and life of your 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 mug with a solution consisting of ½ vinegar and ½ water.

1.Before descaling, always make sure the brew basket contains no coffee or coffee filters.

2.Run the coffee maker through a complete brewing cycle using a full tank of the descaling solution or the vinegar mixture. Press the ON button to start the brewing cycle.

3.Rinse the coffee maker by running

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

4.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.

Troubleshooting

•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 the problem cannot be corrected: See the KitchenAid warranty section. Do not return the coffee maker to the retailer; retailers do not provide service.
