The markings on the glass carafe and water level indicator show how much water you are filling into the chamber (figure 3). n n n The amount of freshly brewed coffee delivered after the brewing process will always be slightly less than the amount of water put into the water chamber. This is due to the minimum absorption of the water by the ground coffee. Therefore, it is recommended that you add a little extra water at the beginning, so that you will have the number of cups you desire. Note: Excess water in the water tank cannot be poured out of the appliance. To eliminate any excess water, allow the coffee maker to operate without coffee grounds. Putting in the ground coffee W Press the release button and swing out the 2-part filter holder (figure 4). n Insert the KRUPS goldtone filter into the filter insert (figure 5).

Set the carafe lid on the carafe, and replace the carafe on the warming plate. If you want to make l-3 cups of coffee, press the flavor selector button (figure 9). so effectively that there is virtually no coffee-drip onto the warming plate (one drop, at most). Once the carafe is replaced, the brewing cycle and the flow of coffee into the carafe are resumed. CAUTION: If coffee does drip onto the warming plate after removal of the carafe, it is usually an indication that too much ground coffee has been placed into the paper filter. This causes the water that jets into the filter cone to overflow between the paper filter and the sides of the filter cone. The overflow carries coffee grounds that interfere with the snap-shut action of the filter holder, thus allowing brewed coffee to continue to drip through. [. . . ] Pour the solution into the water container, then put the empty carafe in place and brew for one full cycle (do not use coffee during this process). Allow the solution to cool down for about ten minutes between: each cycle, turning appliance off during this time. Flush system by cycling clean water through machine 2 or 3 times. n n Never reheat coffee. Cleaning and Decalcifying n Always unplug the coffeemaker and remove the goldtone filter before cleaning (figure 12).
