12 | OPERATING THE COFFEE MAKER
INSTALLING THE WATER FILTER
IMPORTANT: Every time you install a new
water filter, run the Coffee Maker through
a complete brew cycle without coffee.
Use a full carafe of clean, cool water.
OPERATING THE COFFEE MAKER
1
Place the charcoal filter in a
container filled with fresh, cool
water. The charcoal filter should
remain submerged in the water
for 10 minutes. Rinse the charcoal
filter under running water for
5 seconds after soaking.
Before rst use
Wash the Gold Tone permanent lter, lter
basket, and carafe in hot, soapy water; then
rinse with clean water and dry. Do not use
abrasive cleansers or scouring pads.
NOTE: These parts can also be washed
in the top rack of the dishwasher.
Installing the charcoal lter:
Using the lter is optional but strongly
recommended. The Coffee Maker will
operate normally without the lter, but it
reduces contaminants that can impair
coffee avour.
The lter is for use only with municipally
treated tap water or well water that is
regularly tested for contaminants; it is not
intended to remove contaminants in water
that is not suitable for drinking.
3Lift the water tank lid using
the tab at the front of the lid.
2Put the charcoal filter into the filter
assembly. Snap to close.

Do not remove earth prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these
instructions can result in

OPERATING THE COFFEE MAKER | 15
OPERATING THE COFFEE MAKER
FILLING THE COFFEE MAKER WITH WATER FOR BREWING
TIP: Brew two pots of fresh, cool water and discard before brewing the first
pot of coffee.
1
Lift the water tank lid and fill
with enough fresh, cool water to
make the desired amount of coffee.
Use the cup indicators on the water
tank window to view water input.
Close the water tank lid.
2
Place the carafe in the Coffee Maker.
Make sure the bottom of the carafe
is fully seated; otherwise, the Pause
and pour feature may not engage,
causing water and coffee to overflow
the filter basket.
The Pause and pour feature enables you to remove the carafe from the Coffee Maker and
pour a cup of coffee before brewing is nished. When the carafe is removed,
a special valve stops the ow of coffee from the lter basket. However, brewing
does not stop. If the carafe is not placed back in the Coffee Maker within 25 seconds,
water and coffee grounds will overow the lter basket.
PAUSE AND POUR FEATURE
NOTE: When using the Small Batch brew cycle, make sure to fill the tank with
only the amount of water needed to brew your desired number of cups. If you
put in 12 cups of water, the Coffee Maker will brew all 12 cups.

OPERATING THE COFFEE MAKER
FILLING THE FILTER BASKET
1
Open the brew basket. Make sure
the filter basket and filter are placed
inside of the basket door before
adding coffee.
NOTE: Do not operate the Coffee Maker without the filter basket in place.
NOTE: If you do not wish to use the
Gold Tone permanent filter, you may
use a 12-cup, flat bottom paper coffee
filter instead; do not use both together.
When using a paper coffee filter,
place the filter inside the filter basket,
pressing the filter into the sides of the
filter basket. Pre-wetting the paper
filter is not required. The paper coffee
filter needs to be placed in the filter
basket before adding ground coffee.
If using the Gold Tone permanent
filter, you may remove the filter from
the filter basket to add ground coffee,
if desired.

CARE AND CLEANING | 21
CARE AND CLEANING
CLEANING THE COFFEE MAKER
Calcium deposits (scale) from water will build up in the Coffee Maker over time and
impair brewing efciency and coffee quality. If you notice that it takes longer than
usual to brew or that the Coffee Maker is making unusual noises, then it is time
to descale. The Clean indicator will ash when the Coffee Maker has completed
100 brew cycles. Descaling should be done as soon as possible to preserve the
performance and life of your Coffee Maker.
1
Before descaling, always remove
the water filter (see the “Installing
the water filter” section) and make
sure the filter basket contains no
coffee or coffee filters.
NOTE: The Coffee Maker can be
descaled using a vinegar and water
solution or by using a packaged
descaling agent. Always mix the
descaling solution using cool water.
When using vinegar, fill the carafe
with a solution consisting of 1/2 vinegar
and 1/2 water.
When using a descaling agent, follow
the directions on the package for
the recommended ratios of descaling
agent and water to use.
The Coffee Maker should be run
through a complete Clean cycle using
a full tank of the descaling solution.

TROUBLESHOOTING | 23
TROUBLESHOOTING
If your Coffee Maker should fail to
operate as expected, please check
the following:
1. If the display is not illuminated:
• Check to see whether the Coffee
Maker is plugged into a grounded
outlet. If it is, check the fuse or circuit
breaker on the electrical circuit the
Coffee Maker is connected to and
make sure the circuit is closed.
2. If only a portion of the water added to
the Coffee Maker actually brews:
• The Coffee Maker requires immediate
descaling. Please refer to the “Care
and cleaning” section.
3. If you hear three rapid tones:
• There is no water in the water tank.
The Coffee Maker will not brew. Fill
the water tank with fresh, cool water
and continue with the brewing
cycle as described in the
“Brewing coffee” section.
4. If “Er1” flashes on the display and you
hear one tone:
• A button may be jammed. Unplug
the Coffee Maker and press each
button several times. Plug the Coffee
Maker into a grounded outlet. If “Er1”
appears again on the display, repeat
this procedure.
5. If coffee overflows the filter basket:
• The brew basket is not completely
closed. Close the brew basket and
ensure it clicks rmly into place.
• Too much coffee was placed into the
lter basket.
6. If water exits from the back of the
Coffee Maker:
• Too much water was poured in to the
water tank.
If the problem is not due to one of
the above items, see the “Warranty
and service” section.
Do not return the Coffee Maker to the
retailer as they do not provide service.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into an earthed outlet.
Do not remove earth prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these
instructions can result in
death, fire, or electrical shock.
