CARE AND CLEANING
31
• If it requires more than 10 minutes to brew 12 cups of coffee:
The coffee maker needs to be descaled. See “Descaling” on
page 29.
• If the coffee maker makes loud sounds during brewing:
The coffee maker needs to be descaled. See “Descaling” on
page 29.
If the problem cannot be fixed with the steps above, see the
KitchenAid Warranty and Service section on page 33.*
*Do not return the coffee maker to the retailer. Retailers do not provide service.
• If the brew timer display is not illuminated:
Check to see if the coffee maker is plugged in. If it is, unplug
the coffee maker, then plug it back in again. If the brew timer
display remains dark, check the fuse or circuit breaker on the
electrical circuit the coffee maker is connected to and make
certain the circuit is closed.
• If “E1” or “E2” appears on the brew timer display:
The coffee maker needs to be descaled. Unplug the coffee
maker for 30 seconds to reset the display, then plug it back in
again. See “Descaling” on page 29. If error codes continue to
appear after cleaning, see the KitchenAid Warranty and Service
section on page 33.
• If “E3” appears on the brew timer display:
A button or switch is jammed. Unplug the coffee maker, press
or turn each switch and 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 “E3” appears again on the
display, repeat this procedure.
