PREPARING

THE COFFEE MAKER FOR USE

The water filter is for use only with municipally treated tap water

or well water that is regularly tested for contaminants.

Pre-Use Cleaning

Wash the filter basket, basket insert, carafe, and carafe lids in

hot, soapy water, then rinse with clean water and dry. Do not

use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads. These parts may also be

washed in the top rack of the dishwasher.

To Install the Filter:

1. Remove the cartridge from its packaging.

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.

Installing the Water Filter

Since most tap water is chlorinated and contains some level of

calcium, the use of a PRO LINE™ Series Water Filter is recommended.

The advanced ion-exchange water filter reduces chlorine and other

contaminants which impair coffee flavor. The filter also softens the

water, which extends the time between descalings.

3. Remove the water filter access cover from the Coffee Maker.

The PRO LINE™ Series Water Filter will filter approximately

25 gallons (95 liters) of water (60 full carafes). When a

filter has reached the end of its life, the water filter icon

will appear on the brew timer display.

Use of the water filter is optional: the Coffee Maker will operate

normally without it. If a water filter is not used, the filter icon will

still appear on the brew timer display as a reminder to descale the

Coffee Maker. To reset the icon after it appears, see page 23.

BREWING COFFEE

Before brewing coffee for the first time, run the Coffee Maker

NOTE: Use at least 4 cups (17 oz [500 ml]) of water to brew

through a complete brewing cycle without coffee. Use a full

carafe of clean, cool water. This rinses the water reservoir, heat

pump, and showerhead. This first brew cycle will yield slightly less

water than the amount added, since the brew system retains a

small amount of water.

coffee. The Coffee Maker will not operate with less.

2. Remove the water guide cover and pour the water into the guide.

1. Fill a carafe with enough fresh, cool water to make the desired

amount of coffee. A graduated scale on the side of the carafe

helps measure the amount of water required. The right side

of the scale (“coffee”) is an accurate measurement of carafe

volume in 4 ⁄4 ounce (125 ml) cups. The left side of the scale

(“water”) indicates the amount of water needed to produce a

given number of cups. (Brewing always produces less coffee than

the volume of water added, since coffee grounds retain water.)

The water level icons on the brew timer

display will indicate whether the water reservoir is low, medium,

or near full.

If message tones are enabled, the Coffee Maker will beep

once when the water reservoir is near full.

3. After filling the reservoir, place the carafe on the Coffee Maker

warming plate.

4. Grasp the brew basket handle and remove the brew basket

from the front of the Coffee Maker.

6. Slide the brew basket into the Coffee Maker as far as possible.

7. To begin brewing, turn the Auto-On/Off Switch clockwise to

the “On/Off” position, then release. The on/off indicator light

will illuminate when the Coffee Maker is on. Do not remove

the carafe from the Coffee Maker until brewing is complete.

5. Make certain the plastic brew basket insert is placed in the

brew basket. Insert a 10–12 cup flat-bottom paper filter or

the optional permanent filter into the brew basket. Using the

included scoop, fill the filter with one rounded scoop of ground

coffee for each cup desired. Add more coffee for a stronger

brew, less for a weaker brew. Use a medium grind appropriate

for automatic drip Coffee Makers: too fine a grind will produce

bitterness and may cause water to overflow the brew basket.

COFFEE BREWING

SUGGESTIONS:

ADVICE FOR GREAT TASTE

The flavor of coffee depends on a variety

of factors, including the quality, freshness,

and roast of the beans, the fineness and

consistency of the grind, the ratio of coffee

to brew water, the cleanliness of the brewing

equipment, and the brew water purity.

Darkly roasted beans – which appear dark brown or

nearly black – look great, but the extra roasting

will overwhelm the more delicate coffee flavors

and caramelize any sugars. A heavy “roasted”

coffee flavor, often bitter and sharp, will

predominate with a dark roast.

Fresh Coffee Beans

To preserve the freshness of coffee beans:

Keep beans in an opaque, air-tight container and

store them in a cool, dry place. Refrigeration is not

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.

Great coffee can only come from fresh coffee

beans, properly roasted. Many experts

recommend buying beans roasted no darker than

a medium roast, the color of which appears as an

even chocolate brown. This roast preserves the natural sugars

and flavor of the bean, and sets the stage for an excellent cup

of coffee. A medium roast is the darkest a bean can be roasted

without oils developing on the surface.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

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.

The Right Grind

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.

Brew Water Purity

A proper grind is critical for good coffee, and that means using a

quality burr grinder like the PRO LINE™ Series Burr Coffee Mill or

the KitchenAid Model A-9™ Coffee Mill. A good burr grinder will

produce an extremely consistent grind with little frictional heating,

and preserve the full flavor of your coffee.

The PRO LINE™ Series water filter that comes with your Coffee

Maker is one of the most effective in the industry at removing

off-tastes and contaminants from your brew water. It also

softens the water and extends the time between coffee maker

descalings. For great tasting coffee, be sure to use the filter –

and replace it promptly when the water filter icon appears on

the brew timer display.

Be sure to grind your coffee to the correct size – use a medium

grind level appropriate for automatic drip coffee makers. Feel free

to experiment with slightly finer or coarser grinds, but don’t

overdo it: too fine a grind will result in very bitter coffee, and too

coarse a grind will produce weak flavor. If the correct grind is

used, adding more coffee simply makes a brew stronger without

making it excessively bitter.

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.

If the Coffee Maker hasn’t been used in awhile, run it through a

complete brewing cycle without coffee. Use a full carafe of

clean, cool water. This rinses the water reservoir, heat pump,

and showerhead, and eliminates any stale water within the unit.

The Proper Amount of Ground Coffee

For standard drip-process coffee, a good starting point is to use

1 ounce (28 g) of coffee for every 4 cups of brew water as

measured with the carafe (a carafe “cup” is about 4 ⁄4 ounces

[125 ml]). Finer grinds usually require less coffee, but using too

fine a grind will produce bitterness and may cause water to

overflow the brew basket.

COFFEE BREWING

SUGGESTIONS:

ADVICE FOR GREAT TASTE

Coffee Maker Cleanliness

Coffee oils build up quickly within the brew basket and carafe.

Over time, these oils will go stale and taint the flavor of freshly

brewed coffee. Daily cleaning of the brew basket, brew basket

insert, and carafes is strongly recommended for the

best-tasting coffee.

Warming Plate Temperature

If you intend to keep coffee on the warming plate for an extended

period, use the “low” temperature setting. This will help preserve

coffee flavor.

CARE AND CLEANING

Cleaning the Coffee Maker

1. Unplug the Coffee Maker.

2. Remove the brew basket insert from the brew basket.

3. Wash the brew basket, brew basket insert, carafe, and carafe

lid 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 the dishwasher.

4. Wipe the Coffee Maker housing with a clean damp cloth, and dry

with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads.

Descaling Steps

Descaling

1. Before descaling, always remove the water filter (see “Installing

the Water Filter” on page 13) and make certain the brew basket

contains no coffee or coffee filters.

Calcium deposits (“scale”) from water will build up in the Coffee

Maker heat pump over time and impair brewing efficiency and

coffee quality. With normal use, scale should be removed every

three months or whenever the water filter icon appears on the brew

timer display. Local water conditions, use of the Coffee Maker more

than once a day, or use without a water filter may require more

frequent descaling.

2. Run the Coffee Maker through a complete brewing cycle using

the descaling solution. If the Coffee Maker has not been descaled

for an extended period, run it through a second brewing cycle

using fresh descaling solution.

The following conditions indicate an immediate need for descaling:

• the presence of loud sounds during brewing

3. Rinse the Coffee Maker by running it through two brewing cycles

using fresh, cool water.

4. Wash the brew basket, brew basket insert, carafe, and carafe lid

in hot, soapy water and rinse with hot water. These parts can

also be washed in the upper rack of the dishwasher.

CARE AND CLEANING

Storing the Coffee Maker

Since the Coffee Maker retains a small amount of water after

brewing, never use it in environments where the temperature drops

below freezing (32˚F or 0˚C).

If the Coffee Maker will not be used for a prolonged period, or if it

will be stored at temperatures below freezing, empty all water from

the unit. To empty, unplug the Coffee Maker, then remove the water

guide cover, the water filter access cover, the water filter, and the

brew basket. Hold the Coffee Maker over a sink, and repeatedly turn

it upside down until all the water drains from the unit. Wipe the

Coffee Maker dry, and store.

When the Coffee Maker is taken out of storage, run it through

a complete brewing cycle without coffee. Use a full carafe of

clean, cool water. This rinses the water reservoir, heat pump, and

showerhead.

Cleaning the Optional Permanent Filter

After several uses, clean the filter with a soft brush or sponge. Avoid

using abrasive cleansers or steel wool pads. The filter can also be

washed in the top rack of a dishwasher.
