manual abstract
If you make coffee twice a day, the light will flash after 30 days. If you make coffee three times a day, the light will flash after 20 days. This will help you to plan the right amount of cartridges. Attention: When you unplug the machine for more than 10 seconds or if you have a power failure, the electronic indicator loses its memory. Then it is best to replace the filter 6 weeks after first use. Caution: Once the cartridge is activated you should never use it for longer than six weeks. Harmful bacteria build-up may occur. Unused cartridges can be stored indefinitely. Replacement cartridges are available through your local Capresso dealer or by using the enclosed mail order form or through the website: 3b. Replacing the Cartridge / Resetting the Filter Indicator Remove the cartridge from the water container (Fig. 3), twist and open the holder and discard the old cartridge. Replace with new cartridge (Fig. 4) and close the filter holder securely. Insert the assembly back into the water tank (Fig. 3) and make sure it is inserted properly otherwise the water container lid will not close completely. Activate the charcoal filter (chapter 3a). While the green light is still blinking, push and hold the Charcoal Filter Button for a few seconds until the light stops blinking and is illuminated again. Now the indicator starts counting anew. 4. The Proper Sequence for Making Coffee Coffee makers produce very hot water. If you follow the sequence as described below you will avoid possible accidents which might cause severe injuries and burns. 1. Remove carafe from machine. 2. Open water container lid (Fig. 1,A) and pour water into the water container. Caution: Watch the water level indicator. Make sure the water level does not reach the letter "M" of the word MAX. If you fill too much water into the tank the carafe will overflow with hot coffee (see Fig. 6). 3. Make sure the filter holder (Fig. 1,C) sits firmly in the Filter Holder Housing (Fig. 1,F). Push the tab of the filter holder down (Fig. 8) to make sure the filter holder sits firmly in the Filter Holder housing. If the filter holder is not snapped into the housing, the drip stop in the filter holder might not open during brewing and hot water and grinds could overflow and leak from the machine. 4. Insert filter paper (chapter 5b) or a GoldTone Filter (chapter 5a). 5. Add the correct amount of ground coffee (chapter 5c). 6. Close the water container lid. 7. Make sure the thermal carafe is empty and the lid of the thermal carafe is completely closed (Fig. 11). Insert the carafe into the machine. 8. Turn the machine on (Fig. 2, N). 9. Never open the water container lid as long as coffee is brewing. Hot water could spill out causing burns. Wait until the brewing noise stops. 10. Immediately after brewing is finished 8 there could still be hot water in the filter holder passing through the ground coffee. This can take 1 to 3 minutes depending on how much 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 coffee extremely strong never use more coffee than the amounts indicated in the chart shown. Maximum # GoldTone Size 4 of Scoops Filter Paper Filter Regular or Drip 12 14 Grind (Supermarket scoops scoops Version) Fine Grind (finer than Drip Grind) 8-10 scoops 9-11 scoops 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 attention 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 muc...
