   Note: Water will be absorbed during the brewing process. The brewed coffee will be slightly less than the markings on the carafe.

2. Open the water container lid (Fig. 1, A) and fill the water tank (Fig. 1, E) with water.
   Caution: The water level should not exceed the MAX level marked on the water level indicator on the side of the machine. If you fill too much water into the water tank the carafe may overflow with hot

3. Make sure the filter holder (Fig. 1, D) sits firmly in the filter holder hous­ Then place the Gokflone filter (Fig. 1, C) into the filter holder and ensure it fits correctly.
   Note: A size 4 paper filter can also be used instead of the GoldTone filter. Always fold the bottom and side crimps over for a proper fit. Do not use filter paper inside a Gold Tone filter.
   Caution: If the filter holder is not snapped into the housing, the drip stop in the filter holder might not open during brewing. Hot water and grinds could overflow and leak from the machine.
   Caution: When you push against the drip stop from the bottom, and the filter holder lifts up, re-insert the filter holder. Otherwise, the drip stop will not open during brewing. Hot water could overflow from the filter causing injuries.
