i
ng element and the internal thermo-
stat shuts off. The red indicator light
still stays on for approx. another two
minutes then turns off, too. This is
n
ormally the time it takes for all the
water in the filter holder to pass into
t
he carafe. Depending on the amount
of coffee and the fineness of the grind
this last process can take another one
to two minutes.
Remove the carafe from the plat-
form. Turn the lid counterclockwise
until the black dot is over the pouring
spout (Fig. 12). You can now pour
coffee. After serving make sure to
close the lid again to prevent heat
from escaping from the carafe.
5g. Pouring Coffee While Brewing
You can pull the carafe from the plat-
form during the brewing process for
approx. 20 seconds to pour a cup in
between. Make sure to close the lid
before you replace the carafe.
5h. Brewing Small Amounts of Coffee
When brewing small amounts of coffee
(3 to 5 cups) we recommend rinsing
the carafe with hot water and using
the 3-5 cup button (Fig 2, M).
Push the 3-5 cup button first. The
green indicator light will go on. Then
push the On/Off button. The red indi-
cator light will go on. The brewing
process will be slowed down to allow
the coffee to reach its full aroma.
When brewing is finished, both indi-
cator lights will turn off.
If you pushed the 3-5 cup button by
mistake, just push it again to turn off
this function.
Attention: When brewing 3-5 cups of
coffee the temperature in the carafe
will be approx. 3 to 5 degrees lower
than on a full pot.

i. Making Multiple Carafes of Cof
fee
If you want to make another carafe of
coffee immediately after the first pot,
wait until the On light is off and then
l
et the coffee maker cool down for
another three minutes before refilling
the water tank.
Important: Make sure
the carafe is empty before brewing.
5j. Auto Shut-Off / Manual Shut-Off
T
he internal thermostat turns off after
all the water is processed through the
heating element. The red indicator
light will turn off approx. 2 minutes
after that, allowing for the water to
pass through the filter holder into the
carafe. In case of emergency you can
always turn off the coffee maker by
pushing the On button again. The red
light will turn off and brewing will stop
within 30 seconds.
Caution: There is still hot coffee in
your filter holder passing through into
the carafe. Also there is still cold
water in the water tank.
5k. Warm Platform!
The heating element of the MT500 is
located underneath the platform on
which the carafe is placed during
brewing. As a result the platform will
get a bit warm during brewing. This
does not heat up the coffee inside the
carafe.
6. Automatic Brewing at a
Pre-Programmed Time
Set the programmed time at which
you wish to brew coffee as described
in chapter 2d.
Make sure that the programmed
time is correct (AM or PM).
Hint: If you want your coffee ready by
7:15 AM, set the programmed time to
7:05, i.e. 10 minutes earlier. This way
you get the freshest and hottest
coffee possible.
Important: Avoid any air conditioner
blowing cold air against the thermal
carafe. This will cool down the carafe
over
night and r
educe the cof
fee tem-
peratur
e in the carafe.
Fill the water tank and filter holder
and place the empty carafe with the
