  • If you forget to add water,  the heater will reach the end of the brew cut-off temperature in less than 1 minute.
  • It will then enter warm-keeping mode directly (as if consumer desired to extend warm keeping beyond 2 hours or warm up a previously brewed pot of coffee).

This is a normal operation.

  • Accidentally used “Auto-On” feature:
    • Until preset time is reached, the coffee maker will not brew unless this mode is overridden by selecting the "ON" button.

Short Brew

  • Check to see if the 1-4 cup feature has been selected if you are brewing a full pot.
  • If the coffee maker has not been cleaned recently, descale to remove calcification.

KCMO402 Single-Serve Model only:

  • Make sure the water tank is fully seated on the brewer.   Press down on the tank to ensure it is firmly in place.
