Keeping Coffee Hot Thermal Carafes, Decalcifying

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.
