Using The Thermal Carafe - KitchenAid JavaStudio KCM514 Instructions Manual

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.
