Q5. How long does the machine keep the grinding and brewing
settings?
A.
See chapter 7.3 page 9. The programmed setting is activated
only when you push the "A" button (Fig. 1,M) and the green auto
light turns on.
Q6. How do I know if the display shows the current or the
programmed setting?
A.
In the program mode the A button is illuminated green.
Q7. Can I change any settings while the grinder is running?
A. No. The red On/Off light or the green Auto light have to be off
to change the grinder settings.
Q8. What happens if the filter holder does not return under-
neath the water container lid after grinding?
A. After the grinding process is completed, the swing-back
mechanism will try to return the filter holder. If it does not swing
back sufficiently, the machine will automatically turn itself off to
prevent the coffee maker from brewing.
Q9. What happens if the water container lid is open during
the brewing process?
A. The hot water will splash in spurts and be guided back into
the water container. Immediately close the water container lid.
Q10. Beans spilled into the water container. What do I do?
A. Unplug the machine, remove the carafe, empty the bean
container (as well as you can), remove the filter holder insert and
GoldTone filter, open the water container lid and turn the
machine upside down over a sink. Reset the time.
Q11. What happens in the auto setting (green light is on) if I
forget to push the filter holder underneath the grinder?
A.
You will get hot water. At the pre-programmed time, the green
light will turn off and the red light will turn on. If the filter holder is
still underneath the water container lid, the machine assumes
you want to brew coffee only (without grinding). Since there is no
coffee in the filter holder, the carafe will be filled with hot water.
13. FAQ (Coffee Questions)
Q1. How much coffee should I use?
A. The grinder grinds approximately between 6 seconds (setting
“4, mild”) and 30 seconds (setting “10, strong”). The maximum
amount of coffee will be ground in the setting “10, strong” with
the fineness selector in the coarsest position.
EXAMPLE: for 10 cups of coffee: Fill the water container with
the maximum amount of water. Set the grinder to 10 cups, the
strength indicator to mild, and the fineness selector to fine.
• IF THE COFFEE IS TOO STRONG: change the grind amount
indicator to 8, the strength indicator to medium, and continue to
use the same amount of water.
• IF THE COFFEE IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH: leave the grind
amount indicator at 10, change the strength indicator to strong,
and set the fineness selector in the coarsest position (largest
dot). If the coffee is still not strong enough, use a little less water.
Q2. I want a full pot of coffee at 8:00 AM. What time should I
program the grinder to start?
A. Set the timer 15 minutes earlier (in this case at 7:45 AM).
Q3. Can I grind “espresso beans” for my espresso machine?
A. Before final assembly we manually calibrate each pair of burr
grinders (testing with beans!) to prevent clogging while grinding,
