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.

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
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.

Brewing time for a full pot of coffee takes just about 7 minutes. Then all the water is passed through the heat-
