tainer (as well as you can), remove the filter holder insert and
GoldTone filter, open the water container lid and turn the
machine upside down over a sink. You need to reset all settings.
Q12. When I unplug the machine, the display shows random
symbols for about 15 seconds, then turns off. Is that normal?
A.
Yes. The condenser of the display discharges.
Q13. What happens in the auto setting (green light is on) if I
forget to push the filter holder underneath the grinder?
A.
You will get hot water. At the pre-programmed time, the green
light will turn off and the red light will turn on. If the filter holder
is still underneath the water container lid, the machine assumes
you want to brew coffee only (without grinding). Since there is no
coffee in the filter holder, you will get hot water only in the
carafe.
13. FAQ (Coffee Questions)
Q1. How much coffee should I use?
A.
The grinder grinds approximately between 4 seconds (setting
“2, mild”) and 30 seconds (setting “10, strong”). The maximum
amount of coffee will be ground in the setting “10, strong” with
the fineness selector in the coarsest position. This is equivalent
to 12 level portions with the enclosed measuring scoop.
EXAMPLE: for 10 cups of coffee: Fill the water container with
the maximum amount of water (see chapter 7.9, page 12). Set
the grind amount indicator (G1) to 10, the strength indicator (G3)
to mild, and the fineness selector (C) to fine.
• IF THE COFFEE IS TOO STRONG: change the grind amount
indicator to 8, the strength indicator to medium, and continue to
use the same amount of water.
• IF THE COFFEE IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH: leave the grind
amount indicator at 10, change the strength indicator to strong,
and set the fineness selector in the coarsest position (largest
dot). If the coffee is still not strong enough, use a little less water.
Q2. I want a full pot of coffee at 8:00 AM. What time should I
program the grinder to start?
A.
Set the timer 15 minutes earlier (in this case at 7:45 AM).
Q3. Can I grind “espresso beans” for my espresso machine?
A.
Before final assembly we manually calibrate each pair of burr
grinders (testing with beans!) to prevent clogging while grinding,
regardless which type of bean you use. The actual grinding,
however, is designed to work well with drip coffee brewing. As a
result, the grind might not be suitable for your espresso machine.
Q4. The grinder makes a loud noise? No coffee is processed.
A.
A stone blocks the grinder. Please call 1-800-767-3554.
