As long as the green Charcoal Filter Light is on, the MT500 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. If you make coffee three times a day, the light will flash after 20 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 elec- tronic 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
Replacement cartridges are avail- able through your local Capresso dealer or by using the enclosed mail order form or through the 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 count- ing anew.
4.The Proper Sequence for Making Coffee
Coffee makers produce very hot water. If you follow the sequence as described below you will avoid possi- ble 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: Watch the water level indicator. Make sure the water level does not reach the letter "M" of the word MAX. If you fill too much water into the tank
the carafe will overflow with hot coffee (see Fig. 6).
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
