3a. Using the Charcoal Water Filter
• Remove the charcoal filter from the
plastic bag and insert it into the
charcoal filter base and attach to
the charcoal filter rod (Fig. 4).
• Insert the assembly into a glass
with cold water for a few minutes.
This will activate the charcoal.
• Now insert the assembly into the
water tank (Fig. 5) and make sure
the filter fits snuggly into the opening
in the bottom of the water tank.
The ring handle of the rod should
be flush with the upper level of the
water container.
3b. Replacing the Cartridge
Over time the charcoal filter loses its
cleaning power.
• Replace after six weeks or when
the Auto-on button (Fig. 2,M) starts
flashing whichever comes first.
After 80 on/off cycles the Auto-on
button starts flashing.
If you brew only one pot a day, we
recommend to replace the filter after
6 weeks.
Please note: If you unplug the
machine or if you have a power failure,
the charcoal control indicator loses its
information. In this case it is best to
replace the charcoal filter six weeks
after first use.
Replacement cartridges are available
through your local Capresso dealer or
by using the enclosed mail order form
or though our website:

3c. Resetting the Filter Indicator
After inserting the new charcoal filter
push the H and the M button down
simultaneously for 3 seconds. This
will reset the internal counter and will
stop the flashing of the Auto-on button.
3d. Turning the Charcoal Filter
Indicator OFF
If you don’t use the charcoal filter, you
can turn the indicator off as follows:
• Push and hold down the H and M
button at the same time for two
seconds and release, the display
shows OFF for a few seconds and
then reverts to the actual time. In
this position the Auto-on button will
never flash.
• To turn the charcoal indicator on
again, push both buttons for
2 seconds, then release. The
display will show ON and then
reverts to the actual time.
4. The Proper Sequence for Making
Coffee
Coffee makers produce hot water. If
you follow the sequence below you
will avoid possible accidents which
might cause severe injuries and
burns.
Please note: As an added safety
precaution the ST600 will not operate
when the carafe is not inserted prop-
erly into the machine. If you remove
the carafe during brewing, the ST600
will shut off. When inserting the carafe
again, you must push the ON/OFF
button, to continue brewing.
1. Remove carafe from machine.
2. Push the Release button to open
the Pop-up lid.
3. Pour water into the water tank.
Caution: Watch the water level indi-
cator. Make sure the water level does
not exceed the line below the letters
MAX (Fig.7). If you fill too much water
into the tank the water will over
flow in
the back of the machine.
4. Make sure the filter holder (Fig.8)
sits firmly inside the machine with
the handle pushed forward. If the
handle of the filter holder does not
sit flush with the upper rim, the
filter holder is not inserted properly.
