t
here could still be hot water in
the filter holder passing through
the ground coffee. This can take 1
to 3 minutes depending on how
m
uch coffee you used and how
fine the coffee was ground.
5. Making Coffee
Please follow the steps described in
chapter 4.
Filling the Water Tank
The water level indicator shows you
how much water will be brewed.
CAUTION: Make sure the water level
does not reach the letter "M" of the
word MAX (see Fig. 6). If you fill more
water into the water container the
stainless steel carafe can overflow
with hot coffee which can cause
severe injuries.
When you use the thermal carafe for
filling the water tank, the inside of the
carafe will be cold from the cold
water. We highly recommend rinsing
the carafe with hot water. This will
increase the coffee temperature and
will keep the coffee hot longer.
5a. Using the GoldTone Filter
A size 4 GoldTone filter comes with
the machine. It sits in the Filter Holder.
Attention: Coffee flows slower through
a GoldTone Filter than through paper
filters. Please see the chart in chapter
5c for maximum coffee amounts.
5b. Using Filter Paper
Use size 4 paper only. Always fold the
bottom and side crimps over for a
proper fit (see Fig. 5). Do not use a
filter paper inside a GoldTone Filter!
5c. How Much Coffee?
A coffee scoop comes with your
MT500. We recommend using one
level scoop of coffee per cup. If you
like your cof
fee extr
emely str
ong
never use mor
e cof
fee than the
amounts indicated in the chart shown.
Using more coffee can result in an
overflow of ground coffee, above the
filter, blocking the drip stop function
and causing a mess on your counter.
5d. Using the Stainless Steel Carafe
For best coffee temperature pre-warm
the carafe by rinsing it with hot water.
Always make sure carafe is completely
empty. Place the lid on top of the
carafe as shown in Fig. 10 (pay atten-
tion to the position of the black dot
on the lid) and turn one full turn
clockwise until closed (see Fig. 11).
Do not tighten too much.
Caution:
Make sure the lid is not in the pouring
position (Fig. 12). This could result in
the Filter Holder popping up. The drip
stop will not work and hot coffee
could overflow from the filter holder.
Attention: Please note that the lid
must always be on the carafe and
closed (Fig. 11) during brewing to
activate the drip stop.
If you lose the
lid, you cannot brew coffee. Please
call 1-800-767-3554 to order a new
lid or use the enclosed mail order form.
Place the carafe on the platform.
5e. Turning the Coffee Maker On
Push the On/Off button (Fig. 2, N).
The red light will illuminate, indicating
that the brewing process is starting.
Caution: Never open the water con-
tainer lid during brewing.
