N B  Your appliance comes with two charcoal water filters that eliminates chlorine, bad tastes  
and odours from tap water. It is recommended that you change your water filter every 90 days  
or after 90 uses and more often if you have hard water. Replacement filters can be purchased  
directly from the manufacturer, (see “UK After Sales Service” section).  
Remove the filter from its packaging and soak it, fully immersed, in cold tap water for 15  
minutes.  
10  
Lift the water filter holder out of the water reservoir.  
Press down on the filter compartment and pull toward you to open.  
Place filter into the holder and snap it closed.  
N B  Caution must be used when inserting the charcoal filter. Improper placement can tear  
the filter skin.  
Flush filter by running cold tap water through holes in bottom of compartment for  
10 seconds.  
Allow the filter to drain completely.  
Slide the water filter holder back into the channel in the water reservoir, pushing it down  
to the base of the unit.  
D
Preparing to Brew  
N B  Before making coffee for the first time, we recommend operating the appliance once,  
using only water, to remove any dust or residue that may remain in the system from the  
manufacturing process.  
Adding theWater and Coffee Beans  
Open the reservoir cover and pour in water using the water level window indicator to  
measure the number of cups desired.  
N B  Do not exceed the 12 cup line. Doing so could cause the carafe to overflow.  
11  
Lift the grinder basket lid using the recess on either side.  
Fill the basket with the desired quantity of beans.  
Grinder basket lid  
Reservoir cover  
Grinder basket  
Water filter holder  
Water reservoir  
N B  Use 1 level scoop of whole beans per cup. For 1 to 4 cups, use 1½ level scoops per cup.  
Do not add more than 14 scoops. This could cause the grinder to malfunction and/or the  
coffeemaker to overflow.  
Press down reservoir cover to lock.  
N B  The appliance is equipped with a safety interlock system, which prevents the unit from  
operating if the cover is open or the grinder cover is left out. If you try to turn the unit on  
with the cover open, the unit will beep continuously until the missing parts are installed and  
you close the lid. If you open the cover during the grinding process, it will beep, the grinder  
will stop grinding and if brewing, the brewing will stop. Once the missing parts are in place  
and the cover is closed, the beeping stops. The brewing process can be restarted by pressing  
the “On/Off” button.

Restarting the process will not affect coffee results. If you do not want the grinder to come  
on again, press theGrind Off ” button before pressing theOn/Off” button.

Press the filter basket door release button to open door.  
Place the GoldTone Filter into the filter basket.  
N B  Ensure that the filter handle is facing away from the grinder basket, so it does not  
interfere with the flow of ground coffee into the filter basket.  
Put filter basket lid in place and close the filter door.

section B.

Brewed Coffee  
When the brewing cycle has completed, 5 beeps will sound and the unit will automatically  
shut itself off.  
Coffee will continue to stream from the filter for several seconds.  
The brew-through, pour through lid allows coffee to drip from the appliance through the  
closed lid. When brewing is complete, the lid seals itself with a valve so air stays out and  
coffee freshness and temperature are maintained. There is no need to turn or adjust the  
lid before pouring.  
The Coffee will be kept warm for up to 2 hours, after 2 hours, the unit will automatically  
shut itself off.  
Caution: the glass carafe will be hot, take care when pouring hot coffee  
TheBrew Pause” feature interrupts the flow of coffee from the basket to let you pour your  
first cup mid-brew.  
N B  Whilst we offer this feature for your convenience, we do not recommend that you pour  
coffee before the cycle has reached completion, since the coffee brewed at the beginning of  
the cycle has a very different flavour profile to that made at the end of the cycle. Removing a  
cup during the cycle will alter the flavour of the finished pot.  
WARNING: Removing the carafe for more than 20 seconds may cause the filter basket to  
overflow.

for a more rounded flavour in just 1-4 cups.

scoop of ground coffee per cup.  
N B The maximum capacity for ground coffee is 16 scoops. Exceeding this may cause the  
appliance to overflow.

Cleaning & Maintenance  
Always clean and dry all parts after every use.  
Always turn the appliance off and remove the plug from the mains outlet before cleaning.  
Open the reservoir lid. Remove the grinder basket lid by using the recessed area on each  
side of the lid. Then remove the grinder basket. Open filter basket door and remove filter  
basket cover, gold tone filter and filter basket holder.  
The grinder basket, grinder basket lid, gold tone filter, lter basket and filter basket lid can be  
washed in warm soapy water and rinsed thoroughly or cleaned in the upper rack of the dishwasher.  
Dry all parts after every use.  
The reservoir lid can also be removed for easy cleaning. Open the lid 60° and gently pull  
toward you. To replace, reverse steps.  
Do not put any water in the unit once the grinder basket has been removed. Wipe the  
area under the grinder basket with a damp cloth. If water gets into the grinder motor, the  
motor may become damaged and may malfunction.  
Once clean and dry, replace all the parts.  
Remove the carafe from the resting plate. Discard any remaining coffee. The carafe and lid  
can be washed in warm soapy water and rinsed thoroughly, or placed in a dishwasher, on  
the upper rack only.  
Do not use scouring agents or harsh cleaning agents on any part of the appliance.  
Never immerse the main housing unit in water or other liquid. To clean the base, simply  
wipe with a clean damp cloth and dry before storing.  
Wipe the resting plate with a clean, damp cloth. Never use rough, abrasive material or  
17  
harsh cleaning agents to clean the resting plate.  
Do not dry the inside of the water reservoir with a cloth as lint may remain.  
De-scaling  
Always use the charcoal water filters provided and replace on a regular basis (i.e. every 90  
days or after 90 uses).  
It is strongly recommended that you de-scale the appliance from time to time. The frequen-  
cy depends upon the hardness of your tap water and how often you use the appliance.  
To De-scale  
Fill the water reservoir completely with a mixture of 1/3 white vinegar and 2/3 water and  
switch the appliance on. One cycle should be sufficient to descale the appliance.  
Once the cycle has been completed and 5 beeps sound, switch the appliance off. Repeat  
the cycle once more using cold tap water.
