Proper Sequence for Making Coffee

As long as the green Charcoal Filter Light is on, the machine monitors time and the number of brewings. The green charcoal filter light will start blinking either after 6 weeks or after the Coffee Brewing Button has been turned on 60 times (Fig. 2, N) whichever comes first, reminding you

to replace the cartridge:

If you make coffee once a day, the filter light will start flashing after 6 weeks. If you make coffee twice a day, the light will flash after 30 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 our website: www.capresso.com.

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 again.

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: Make sure the water level does not exceed the MAX setting (Fig. 6). If you fill too much water into the tank the

carafe may overflow with hot coffee.

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 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.
