5. Making Coffee
Please follow the steps described in chapter 4.
Filling the Water Tank
See chapter 4.2.
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 coffee maker. 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.

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. 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 container lid during brewing.
5e. Serving Coffee
Brewing time for a full pot of coffee takes just about 7 minutes.
When all the water is passed through, the coffee maker will keep the coffee hot for two hours. Then it will shut off. If you need to keep the coffee hot longer, just push the On/Off button again.
5f. 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.
5g. Brewing Small Amounts of Coffee
When brewing small amounts of coffee (3 to 5 cups) push the

Important: When brewing
5h. Making Multiple Carafes of Coffee If you want to make another carafe of coffee immediately after the first pot, make sure the machine is off and allow to cool down for three minutes before refilling the water tank. Important: Make sure the carafe is empty before brewing.
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.
