• Clean the GoldTone Filter after
every use. Otherwise coffee oils will
form and clog up the small filter
openings. Old, hardened coffee oils
can spoil the taste of your coffee.
• Clean the lid of the carafe under
running water.
• Drip-stop in filter holder: make sure
that the drip-stop is free of any
coffee particles, otherwise it might
not close properly when removing
the carafe.
9. Cleaning the Stainless Steel
Thermal Carafe
Never immerse carafe completely in
hot water or any other liquid. Wipe
outside with a non-abrasive wet cloth
and dry. Fill inside with hot water and
a mild detergent and scrub with a
non-abrasive household brush.
Rinse thoroughly. Do not place
carafe in dishwasher.
10. Decalcifying
To keep your coffee maker operating
efficiently, it is important to decalcify
at least every 2-4 months depending
on local water hardness or when
brewing 10 cups takes more than
15 minutes.
1. Before decalcifying, remove the
GoldTone filter from the machine.
2. Dissolve 1 oz. (28 g) of Capresso
Cleaning Solution (or other
descaling agent) with 32 oz. (1 L)
of water and pour mixture into
water tank.
3. Place the empty carafe with the lid
closed underneath the filter holder.
4. Turn the machine on for 2 minutes.
5. Turn the machine off and let sit for
15 minutes.
6. Turn machine on again and let the
remaining descaling solution pass
through.
7. Turn the coffee maker off, remove
the carafe, empty and rinse a few
times with fresh cold water.
8. Rinse the filter holder thoroughly
with fresh water and place back
into the machine.
9. Let the coffee maker cool down for
a few minutes.
10. Fill the water tank with fresh cold
water and brew through machine
to fully rinse.
11. Turn off coffee maker and empty
carafe.
12. Rinse by operating the appliance
with fresh water at least 2-3 times
after descaling.
10a. Using other Decalcifying Agents
Only use decalcifying agents suitable
for drip coffee makers and follow the
instructions which come with the agent.
Attention: Decalcifying agents are
acids and therefore must be handled
properly. Please check the information
on the packaging of the decalcifying
agents before using.
11. Troubleshooting
What to do if...
...Coffee drips from the filter, when
the carafe is removed.
• Ground coffee sits in the drip stop
and does not allow the drip stop to
close properly. Immediately replace
the carafe and wait until all the coffee
has been filtered in the carafe. Now
remove carafe and remove the filter
holder. Clean filter holder under
running water.
Push the drip stop several times to
remove coffee particles. Over the sink
fill some water into the filter holder and
check if the drip stop closes properly.
...Ground coffee is flowing over the
GoldTone Filter.
• Coffee is ground too fine.
• Use less coffee the next time
(chapter 5c).
• Use a paper filter (size 4) instead of
the GoldTone Filter.
