If the coffee maker was set to AUTO, no coffee will be ground and the filter will still sit underneath the grinder. If the machine was brewing coffee before power interruption, it will not continue brewing.
CAUTION: If the filter holder insert (Fig. 4) is not completely locked into the filter holder, the drip stop on the bottom of the filter holder insert might not open during brewing. This can cause hot coffee to overflow and can result in serious injuries and damages. Here is how to properly lock the filter holder insert into the filter holder: 9.0 a)
SPRADA filter manual changes 4/16/07 11:25 AM Page 15 CY CMY 9.0 a) Push with your finger against the drip stop (Fig. 6). If the filter holder insert is in the proper position, it will stay inside the filter holder and not move upwards. 9.0 b) Insert the Goldtone Filter (Fig.
• Fill the beans container (as in 7.0 above). • Fill the desired amount of water into the water tank. • Make sure the filter holder insert, Goldtone Filter (or filter paper) and cover lid are in place (as in 9.0 above).
CY CMY 12.1 USING FILTER PAPER: NOTE: Use “size 4” filter paper only. Always fold the bottom and side crimps over for a proper fit (Fig. 10). Do not use a filter paper inside a Goldtone Filter! 12.1 a) Insert Swing the filter holder to the left until it locks itself underneath the grinder (Fig.
(This happens when the mesh of the Goldtone Filter is clogged up causing coffee grounds to over-flow. If you use filter paper, use the correct size (size 4), and check if there was a hole in the bottom of the filter paper). To clean the Drip stop, see 13 below.
12.5 b) Fill beans into the bean container and the desired amount of fresh water into the water container. 12.5 c) Make sure that the filter holder insert, Goldtone Filter (or paper filter) and cover lid are all in place.
If the soft collar becomes separated from the lid, simply replace it with the high rim pointing upwards (Fig 5). Goldtone Filter: Clean after brewing. Do not let used coffee sit for hours in the filter. Coffee oils will clog the mesh, causing the coffee to overflow the next time it is used.
• Move the filter holder underneath the grinder until it locks. • Lift the Feeder Channel cover and set aside (Fig. 12). • Use the handle of the scoop to scrape out blocked coffee into the filter holder (Fig 13). • Wipe the inside with a dry, clean cloth.
14.1 a) Remove Goldtone Filter. 14.1 b) Fill water container with 500ml of cold water and add the LIME’O. 14.1 c) Important: make sure the filter holder is in place and the stainless steal carafe is empty. 14.1 d) Turn the machine ON.
CY CMY 15.0 FAQ’S (Technical questions): Q1. I accidentally locked the filter holder underneath the grinder. What do I do? A. Push the manual filter holder release button (Fig. 14). Q2. There is no coffee coming out of the grinder. It seems as though the coffee is completely clogged inside 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.
As a result, the grind may not be suitable for your espresso machine Q4. The grinder makes a loud noise, no coffee is processed? A. A foreign object blocks the grinder. Contact SPRADA DIRECT: 0861 777 232 Composite...
