Preparing Your Coffee Maker for Use  
Pre-Use Cleaning  
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.  
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. Remove the filter from its  
packaging. 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.

Notch & Filter Well  
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.  
3. Lift the rear portion of the split-lid  
using the tabs on either side of  
the lid.

on the plate – if the carafe isn’t  
seated, the pause and pour  
feature may engage and coffee  
may overflow the brew basket.  
4. Remove the brew basket from the  
top of the Coffee Maker by  
grasping the finger loop on the  
front of the basket.  
1. Fill a carafe with enough fresh, cool  
water to make the desired amount  
of coffee. A graduated scale on the  
side of the glass carafe helps  
measure the amount of water  
required. The right side of the scale  
(“coffee”) is a measurement of  
1
carafe volume in 4 ⁄  
4
ounce cups.  
The left side of the scale (“water”)  
indicates the amount of water  
needed to produce a given number  
of cups. For thermal carafe model  
KCM515, the scale on the water  
filter handle can be used to gauge  
the amount of water to add.  
5. Insert a 10-12 cup flat-bottom  
paper filter or the gold tone  
permanent filter into the brew  
basket. Never use both types of  
filter at the same time – using  
both may cause water to overflow  
the brew basket.  
2. Lift the front lid and fill the water  
reservoir with fresh cool water  
using the reservoir fill-channel to  
the right of the brew basket.  
Water can also be poured directly  
into the reservoir at the back of  
the Coffee Maker.  
6. Using the included scoop, fill the  
filter with one rounded 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.  
3. After filling the reservoir, place the  
carafe on the Coffee Maker  
warming plate. Make sure the  
bottom of the carafe is fully seated

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  
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.

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

Operating Your Coffee Maker  
The Pause and Pour Feature  
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.  
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 hot plate within  
25 seconds, water will overflow the  
brew basket and spill onto the  
warming plate.

convenience for those in a hurry.  
However, the flavors extracted from  
ground coffee differ at each stage of  
the brewing cycle, and a finished  
carafe represents a delicate blend of  
these flavors. Using pause and pour  
will alter – and usually impair – the  
flavor of the remaining coffee.

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 15  
for descaling steps.

Coffee Brewing Suggestions:  
Advice for Great Taste  
Fresh Coffee Beans  
If you prefer substantially weaker-  
than-average coffee, it’s best to brew  
using a normal amount of ground  
coffee and then dilute the result with  
hot water. Doing this will maximize  
flavor and minimize bitterness.  
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  
Brew Water Purity  
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 ion-exchange water filter that  
comes with your Coffee Maker  
reduces off-tastes and contaminants  
in your brew water. It also softens the  
water, which enhances coffee flavor.  
For great tasting coffee, be sure to  
use the filter – and replace it  
The Right Grind  
promptly every three months.  
Freshly ground coffee loses flavor and  
aroma quickly – within minutes. The  
best cup of coffee will always come  
from coffee beans that are ground  
just before brewing.  
A proper grind is critical for good  
coffee, and that means using a  
quality grinder like the KitchenAid®  
Blade Coffee Grinder, PRO LINE™  
Series Burr Coffee Mill, or the  
KitchenAid® Model A-9™ Coffee Mill.  
Be sure to grind your coffee to the  
correct size – use a medium grind  
level appropriate for automatic drip  
coffee makers.  
Where local water quality is  
extremely poor, you may wish to use  
bottled, purified water with your  
Coffee Maker. Do not use distilled  
water or mineral water – they can  
damage the Coffee Maker.  
Coffee Maker Cleanliness  
Coffee oils build up quickly within the  
brew basket and carafe. Over time,  
these oils will go stale and impair the  
flavor of freshly brewed coffee. Daily  
cleaning of the brew basket and  
carafe is strongly recommended for  
the best-tasting coffee.  
The Proper Amount  
of Ground Coffee  
For standard drip-process coffee, a  
good starting point is to use one  
rounded scoop of coffee for every  
cup of brew water as measured with  
the carafe. This results in about one  
ounce of coffee being used for every  
16 ounces of brew water – the  
accepted brewing standard. Finer  
grinds usually require less coffee, but  
using too fine a grind will produce  
bitterness. Very fine grinds may also  
clog the coffee filter and cause water  
to overflow the brew basket.

Care and Cleaning  
Cleaning the Coffee Maker  
Descaling Steps:  
1. Unplug the Coffee Maker and  
allow it to cool before cleaning.  
2. Remove the brew basket and  
carafe from the Coffee Maker.  
3. On model KCM515, remove the lid

gold tone permanent filter in hot,  
soapy water and rinse with hot  
water. Do not use abrasive  
1. Before descaling, always remove  
the water filter (see “Installing the  
Water Filter” on page 8) 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.

cleansers or scouring pads. These  
parts can also be washed in the  
upper rack of a dishwasher (the  
thermal carafe included with  
model KCM515 should be hand-  
washed only).  
4. Rinse the Coffee Maker by running  
it through two brewing cycles  
using a full carafe of fresh, cool  
water each time.  
5. Wipe the Coffee Maker 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.  
5. Wash the brew basket and carafe  
in hot, soapy water and rinse with  
hot water. These parts can also be  
washed in the upper rack of the  
dishwasher (the thermal carafe  
included with model KCM515  
should be hand-washed only).  
6. Reinstall or replace the water filter.  
Replace the filter every three  
months under normal usage, or  
more often with heavy use.  
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. 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.  
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

Troubleshooting and Error Codes  
• If the brew timer display is not  
illuminated:  
• If “Err4” appears on the brew  
timer display:  
Check to see if the Coffee Maker is  
plugged into a grounded 3 prong  
outlet. If it is, unplug the Coffee  
Maker, then plug it into the same  
outlet again. If the unit still does not  
work, check the fuse or circuit  
breaker on the electrical circuit the  
Coffee Maker is connected to and  
make sure the circuit is closed.  
A button is jammed. Unplug the  
Coffee Maker, press each button  
several times, then plug the Coffee  
Maker back in. (If the Coffee Maker  
has been stored or used in a cool  
environment, warm the unit to  
normal room temperature before  
doing this.) If “Err4” appears again  
on the display, repeat this procedure.  
• 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 “Err1”, “Err2”, or “Err3”  
appear on the brew timer  
display:  
Press the On/Off Button to reset the
