11b. Using other Decalcifying Agents

fying agents suitable for drip coffee
makers and follow the instructions

12. 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 run-
ning 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.
