ing element and the internal thermo- stat shuts off. The red indicator light still stays on for approx. another two minutes then turns off, too. This is normally the time it takes for all the water in the filter holder to pass into the carafe. Depending on the amount of coffee and the fineness of the grind this last process can take another one to two minutes.

Remove the carafe from the plat- form. Turn the lid counterclockwise until the black dot is over the pouring spout (Fig. 12). You can now pour coffee. After serving make sure to close the lid again to prevent heat from escaping from the carafe.

5g. 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. Make sure to close the lid before you replace the carafe.

5h. Brewing Small Amounts of Coffee When brewing small amounts of coffee (3 to 5 cups) we recommend rinsing the carafe with hot water and using the 3-5 cup button (Fig 2, M).

Push the 3-5 cup button first. The green indicator light will go on. Then push the On/Off button. The red indi- cator light will go on. The brewing process will be slowed down to allow the coffee to reach its full aroma. When brewing is finished, both indi- cator lights will turn off.

If you pushed the 3-5 cup button by mistake, just push it again to turn off this function.

Attention: When brewing 3-5 cups of coffee the temperature in the carafe will be approx. 3 to 5 degrees lower than on a full pot.

5i. Making Multiple Carafes of Coffee If you want to make another carafe of coffee immediately after the first pot, wait until the On light is off and then

let the coffee maker cool down for another three minutes before refilling the water tank. Important: Make sure the carafe is empty before brewing.

5j. Auto Shut-Off / Manual Shut-Off The internal thermostat turns off after all the water is processed through the heating element. The red indicator light will turn off approx. 2 minutes after that, allowing for the water to pass through the filter holder into the carafe. In case of emergency you can always turn off the coffee maker by pushing the On button again. The red light will turn off and brewing will stop within 30 seconds.

Caution: There is still hot coffee in your filter holder passing through into the carafe. Also there is still cold water in the water tank.

5k. Warm Platform!

The heating element of the MT500 is located underneath the platform on which the carafe is placed during brewing. As a result the platform will get a bit warm during brewing. This does not heat up the coffee inside the carafe.

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.

Important: Avoid any air conditioner blowing cold air against the thermal carafe. This will cool down the carafe overnight and reduce the coffee tem- perature in the carafe.

Fill the water tank and filter holder and place the empty carafe with the
