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 ½ vinegar and  

½ water.

1.  Before descaling, always remove the water 

filter (see the “Installing the Water Filter” 

section) and make sure the brew basket 

contains no coffee or coffee filters.

2.  Run the coffee maker through a complete 

Clean cycle using a full tank of the  

descaling solution.

NOTE: If you do not complete the 

programming steps within 10 seconds, the 

settings will be maintained and the coffee 

maker will exit to the default mode. 

3.  For glass carafe models, press the MENU 

button 5 times to enter the Clean mode. 

The “Clean” and “ON” indicators will flash.

      NOTE: For thermal carafe models, press 

the MENU button 4 times to enter the 

Clean mode. The “Clean” and “ON” 

indicators will flash.

5.  Press the SET button to program the 

Clean setting. Two short beeps will sound, 

indicating programming is complete.

6.  Press the BREW button to start the  

cleaning cycle. Once the cleaning cycle  

is complete, the “Clean” indicator will  

turn off.

7.  Rinse the coffee maker by running it  

through 2 brewing cycles using a full  

water tank of fresh, cool water each time.

8.  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.

9.  Reinstall or replace the water filter. Replace 

the filter every 3 months under normal 

use. Replace it more often under heavy use 

or hard water conditions. The replaceable 

carbon filter can be found at your local 

retailer or on www.KitchenAid.com.

1.  Remove the brew basket and carafe 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.

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 needs to 

be cleaned, the “Clean” indicator will flash 

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.
NOTE: You may want to clean your coffee 

maker prior to the “Cleaning Needed” 

indicator flashing under heavy use or hard 

water conditions.
