closed lid on the platform (chapter 4).
Push the "auto" button (Fig. 2, L).
The green indicator light above this
button will go on.
At the pre-programmed time, the red
on button will go on and the green
auto light will go off, indicating that
brewing has started.
Important: If you pushed the auto
button by mistake just push it again
to turn it off.
7. Handling of the Thermal Carafe
The lid of the thermal carafe has a
pouring indentation to make it possi-
ble to pour with the lid in place (black
dot pointing at the spout, Fig. 12).
Always make sure that the carafe is
transported in an upright position.
If you turn the carafe with its lid
closed on its side or turn it upside
down, hot coffee will flow into the
grooves of the lid and exit through
the side of the lid (Fig. 13 and 14).
Important: A stainless steel bottom
with three black feet covers the vacu-
um seal of the stainless steel body.
Do not try to remove this lid. Do not
place the carafe on any hot surfaces
since this can loosen the vacuum seal
inside the bottom. This can cause the
carafe to lose its warm keeping function.
Do not place carafe in dishwasher.
8. Keeping Coffee Hot in
Thermal Carafes
After brewing a full pot of coffee the
temperature in the carafe will be
between 178º and 185º Fahrenheit
depending on how cold the carafe
was initially. If the carafe stays closed,
the temperature will gradually
decrease. After 4 hours the tempera-
ture will be between 155º and 165º
Fahrenheit. The more often you open
the carafe, the less coffee is in the
carafe, the faster the temperature will
decrease.
Recommendation: For best coffee
results we recommend not making
more coffee than you will drink within
two hours after brewing.
9. Cleaning the Coffee Maker
• Make sure coffee maker is turned
off (Red light is off). Always unplug
the appliance from the outlet before
cleaning.
• Never use scouring agents.
• Never immerse the appliance in
water or any other liquid and never
clean under running water. To clean
the appliance, wipe off with a soft,
damp cloth.
• Dishwasher safe (upper rack) are:
Filter Holder, GoldTone Filter.
• Clean the GoldTone Filter after
every use. Otherwise coffee oils will
form and clog up the small filter
openings. Old, hardened coffee oils
can spoil the taste of your coffee.
• Clean the lid of the carafe under
running water.
• Drip stop in filter holder: make sure
that the drip stop is free of any
coffee particles, otherwise it might
not close properly when removing
the carafe.
10. Cleaning the Stainless Steel
Carafe
Never immerse carafe completely in
hot water or any other liquid. Wipe
outside with a non-abrasive wet cloth
and dry. Fill inside with hot water and
a mild detergent and scrub with a
non-abrasive household brush. Rinse
thoroughly.
11. Decalcifying
Your MT500 comes with a stainless
steel-lined heating element. This
greatly reduces the need for decalci-
fying. As a guideline we recommend
decalcifying at least every 8 to 10
months or whenever the brewing
process slows down. If brewing ten
cups of water takes more than 9 min-
utes it is definitely time to decalcify.
