Use affresh Coffee Maker Cleaner
affresh® Coffee Maker Cleaner for KitchenAid Coffee Maker
It's important to descale your coffee maker to ensure optimum taste and performance.
Signs That it's Time to Descale:
- Longer brewing times.
- Excessive steam.
- Loud "gurgling" sounds during brewing.
- Water seems to be remaining in the tank after the brewing process is complete.
Steps for Descaling:
- Before descaling, always remove the water filter and make sure the brew basket contains no coffee or coffee filters.
- Run the Coffee Maker through a complete brewing cycle using a full carafe of the descaling solution.
- If the cleaning-needed indicator lights up after the brewing cycle is complete, repeat Step 2 until the cleaning-needed indicator no longer lights up after brewing.
- Rinse the Coffee Maker by running it through two brewing cycles using a full carafe of fresh, cool water each time.
- Wash the brew basket and carafe in hot, soapy water and rinse with hot water.
- Reinstall or replace the water filter.

NOTE: If you have a coffee maker with a grid that makes it difficult to put the entire affresh® tablet into the water reservoir, you can crush the tablet into smaller pieces in a plastic sandwich bag, and pour the powder into the water reservoir.
affresh® cleaners are available at many retailers. Find one here.
