Making Coffee
Coffee makers produce hot water. Follow the sequence as described below to
avoid possible accidents which may cause severe injuries and burns.
1.
Remove carafe from machine and fill with desired amount of water.
NOTE:
Water will be absorbed during brewing process.
2.
Open water container lid (Fig. 1, A) and pour water into the water tank. (Fig. 4)
If you overfill the water tank, the carafe may overflow with hot coffee.
3.
Make sure the filter holder (Fig. 1, E) sits firmly in the filter holder housing.
Then place the GoldTone filter (Fig. 1, D) into the filter holder and ensure it
fits correctly.
Note:
A size 4 cone shaped paper filter can also be used instead of the
GoldTone filter. Do not use a filter paper inside a GoldTone filter!
Caution:
If the filter holder is not engaged correctly into the housing, the
drip stop in the filter holder might not open during brewing. Hot water and
grinds could overflow and leak from the machine.
Caution
: When you push against the drip stop from the bottom, and
the filter holder lifts up, re-insert the filter holder. Otherwise the drip stop
will not open during brewing. Hot water could overflow from the filter
causing injuries.
4.
Add medium coarse ground coffee into the GoldTone filter. Use approximately
1 level tablespoon of ground coffee per cup of coffee according to personal
taste. Then close the water container lid. DO NOT exceed 14 level tablespoons
of coffee in the filter.
5.
Make sure the thermal carafe is empty and the lid of the thermal carafe is
completely closed (Fig. 8). Insert carafe into machine. The inner part of the lid
pushes the drip stop up, to let coffee brew through.
6.
Press ON/OFF button, the power icon light will illuminate and the appliance
will begin brewing.
Caution:
Never open the water container lid as long as coffee is brewing.
Hot water could spill out causing burns. Wait until the brewing noise stops
before lifting lid.
7.
The brewing process can be interrupted by pressing the ON/OFF button at
any time during operation, and the power icon will turn off.
Note:
You can remove the carafe from the platform during the brewing process
for approximately 30 seconds to pour a cup before brewing is finished.
8.
After brewing is finished there could still be hot water in the filter holder
passing through the ground coffee. This can take 1 to 3 minutes depending
on how much coffee and how fine the coffee was ground. Wait until all
brewed coffee is in the carafe before serving.
9.
When the brewing is finished, the machine will automatically turn off and the
power icon will disappear. For optimum coffee taste, serve coffee just after
brewing.
10. To serve coffee, remove the carafe from the platform. Push and hold the
pouring lever and slowly pour coffee.
11. If you want to make another carafe of coffee immediately after the first pot,
make sure the machine is off and allow it to cool down for three minutes
before refilling the water tank.
Important:
Make sure the carafe is empty before brewing.
