KitchenAid Compact Coffee Maker Instructions Manual page 11

Operating Your Compact Coffee Maker
NOTE: There are a couple indications
that your coffee maker needs to be
decalcified:
• It takes longer than 8 minutes to brew
4 cups of coffee.
• Excessive steam around the top of the
Filter Holder during brewing.
If either one of these indications are
present, see page 12, "How to Remove
Calcium Buildup from your Coffee
Maker."
10. When brewing is complete,
pour coffee. Return Carafe to
Warming Plate to maintain
temperature. However, coffee
quality is optimal when it is freshly
brewed.
11.Turn coffee maker OFF when you no
longer wish to keep coffee hot.
12.Remove the Filter Holder from the
coffee maker. Discard the paper
filter and coffee grounds. If you
wish to make another carafe of
coffee immediately, turn off the
coffee maker and allow to cool for
five minutes, then repeat Steps 1
through 11.
USING THE OPTIONAL
KITCHENAID™ GOLD TONE
PERMANENT FILTER
The Gold Tone Permanent Filter is
designed for easy installation in the
Filter Holder. Do not use a paper filter
with the Gold Tone Permanent Filter.
1. Insert the Gold Tone Permanent
Filter into the bottom of the Filter
Holder.
2. Use the desired amount of a medium
to coarse grind coffee; a very fine
grind may clog the filter. Place the
ground coffee in the center of the
filter to ensure complete wetting and
to help prevent overflowing.
3. After each use, rinse the filter under
running water.
HOW TO CLEAN YOUR GOLD
TONE PERMANENT FILTER
After several uses, clean the filter with
a soft brush or sponge. Avoid using
abrasive cleansers or steel wool pads,
which could damage the filter screen.
The filter can also be cleaned in the top
rack of the dishwasher.
