10.5 Ground Coffee Outlet:
Periodically check the ground coffee outlet (Fig. 10)
for oil and coffee build-up. The ground coffee outlet should be cleaned once a
week if you use the machine daily or if any of the following situations occur:
• Heavy oil build-up has caused coffee to block the ground coffee outlet from
opening.
• The ground coffee outlet door is not closing all the way.
• You do not plan on using the grinder for more than a week.
For cleaning, please follow this sequence:
• Remove the carafe and push the filter holder button (Fig. 6). Remove the
GoldTone filter and the filter insert and set aside.
• With the filter holder open, look inside the cavity of the machine and under
the grinder.
• Use damp cloth to wipe clean coffee residue from ground coffee outlet opening.
10.6 Conical Burrs:
Once a week, remove the bean container and upper burr
as described in chapters 7.4 & 7.5 to remove coffee buildup from the upper
and lower burrs.
• Once upper burr is removed, use included brush to remove any left over
ground coffee from the upper burr then use the brush to remove any coffee
build up in the lower burr chamber.
IMPORTANT:
Never try to remove the lower burr!
11. 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.

• Before decalcifying, remove the Goldtone filter and charcoal filter.
